Thanks for listening to the John Ed Heidi Show. 40 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.319 Excited right now to visit about a really fun event that's coming up. Midwest 41 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:44.199 Honor Flight has an event called Everybody's Elvis and this is a really cool thing 42 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.560 and I've got on the line Aaron Van Beek with Midwest Honor Flight. First 43 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.159 of all, sir, thank you for all the time and effort you put 44 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.680 into this amazing organization. You guys do some really really cool things, and 45 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.879 this little fundraiser is a cool thing. But the fundraiser is a cool thing 46 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.960 to raise money to do the really cool things you do. Absolutely now, 47 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.960 it's at least we can do for the best. I got to go and 48 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.280 we're very excited for the opportunity for more and more veterans to get the opportunity 49 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.000 to visit their memorials of DC. And of course we couldn't do that without 50 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.479 the donors or the fundraisers like Everybody's Elvis and Everybody's Elvis. That is a 51 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.919 really fun event and it's coming up here before you know it on October twenty 52 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.360 feet at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance West Russell and Sioux Falls. If 53 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.599 people would like to go to this, we're going to tell them how to 54 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.960 get tickets in a minute, but let's talk about what happens at this event 55 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.479 because it's a cool event. Yeah, this is the second year that we've 56 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.159 done this. We used to do in annual hanger downs, but unfortunately the 57 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.360 cost of that was just getting to be too much. So we had a 58 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.719 vocal group of fourteen artists last year come together and they wanted to raise money 59 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.280 for us since we had lost out on that fundraiser, and put together what 60 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.319 they called Everybody's Elvis and they then sold out. We had over three hundred 61 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.439 people at the Stanford Barn. It's a really fun night. The first little 62 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.520 bit of the program as impersonators that are picking a song of Elvis, and 63 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.039 while it's the Elvis song, there's a little bit of a twist on the 64 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.840 songs that those artists has specifically gone ahead and done just to make it their 65 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.520 own. And then of course then we'll have a dance after that with Surf 66 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.519 and Safari. We'll kind of do a fifties sixties dance for us to close 67 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.360 out the rest of the night. And so all the tickets and the silent 68 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:26.040 auction will all go towards supporting flights in twenty twenty four. And the nice 69 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.360 thing is this is something that you can definitely dress up and come and just 70 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.759 kind of have a really fun night. But if you don't dress up, 71 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.079 you're still welcome, right, Oh, absolutely absolutely. It's fun to see 72 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.639 the poodle skirts and all that stuff. But you know, we're not going 73 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.560 to turn anybody away for just wanting to come. And I don't dance myself, 74 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.240 So if you want to be like me and just watch everybody else or 75 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.720 listen to good music, feel free to come out and support not only the 76 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.439 veterans but also the local artist that will be performing that night. And it 77 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.120 can be a spectator sport. You don't have to participate but if you want 78 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.160 to, you certainly can, and you can't ask for a better place to 79 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.000 do it in a better to be performing. Surf and Safari's amazing, Absolutely 80 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.800 they are. They are fun groups to listen to. And I'm looking at 81 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.360 this list of all the people that are going to be performing leading up to 82 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.680 that as well, and I think that's really cool because again, everybody's Elvis. 83 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.079 I think the thing that's neat is all of these people, many of 84 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.920 these are people from right around here who are going to be getting up and 85 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.600 performing an Elvis song, like you said, maybe with a little twist. 86 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.120 But the thing that's cool about it is it's it's just a really neat way 87 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.839 to kind of everybody get on the same page, have a whole lot of 88 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.639 fun together and raise money for a really good cause. Absolutely so, Midwest 89 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.680 Honor Flights. Everybody's Elvis tickets available now twenty five dollars in advance. If 90 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.199 you wait until the day, it's a little more. It's thirty dollars at 91 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.360 the door, So don't wait. Get your tickets now. Aaron, where 92 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.839 do I go if I would like to get tickets? Absolutely so, anybody 93 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.000 that wants to get tickets an advanced can visitor website Midwest Honor Flight dot org 94 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.720 slash elvis that I'll have all the information in regards to the ticketing itself, 95 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.040 but also all the group's performing and also at that link there'll be the list 96 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.879 of our silent auction items that will be up for bids at night as well. 97 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.800 And I'm on that page right now, and there's some photos here. 98 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.800 The photo on the top is that from last year. Yes it is, 99 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.519 Yep, it is. And again it just looks like a really fun time. 100 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.720 And again it's sneaking up here before you know it. If you'd like 101 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.600 to go, I'll give you all the details on it once again. But 102 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.399 again I want to say thank you to Midwest Honor Flight for all that you 103 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.160 guys do. And Aaron, how long have you guys been around Midwest Honor 104 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.759 Flight has been going off? Is it about a decade? We were incorporated 105 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.480 in twenty seventeen, so coming up on ten years, I guess here in 106 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.959 a couple couple of years, but it feels like it's been a decade with 107 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.279 the amount of flights that we've done, and you've squeezed a lot of flights. 108 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.399 How many flights have you done. Now there's a bunch. Yeah. 109 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.279 As of this spring, we had done our fifteen flights. We've flown over 110 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.639 thirteen hundred veterans over those fifteen flights. There's two of them going out this 111 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.639 fall, so there will be another one hundred and seventy veterans getting that chance 112 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.279 to go, and then our hope is for more in twenty twenty four and 113 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.639 then continuing that in the twenty twenty five. Currently there's over seven hundred and 114 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.920 sixty vestans in our weight, so we'll be busy for a couple more flights 115 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.480 at least. Nice well, and the thing that's nice, if people listening 116 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.040 want to contribute, they could just write a check to you if they want 117 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.720 that's that's certainly welcome. But if they want to contribute and have some fun 118 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.120 with you, Elvis Knight would be a great way to do that. Again, 119 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.079 that's coming up just here. Before you know it, it's it's a 120 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.480 Saturday. I'm trying to find my date here.

It was on this day, 147 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.679 September twelfth, nineteen seventeen, that Carl Martin Ericsson was born. Carl was 148 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.200 raised in Sioux Falls, living with a birth defect that only allowed him to 149 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.120 reach a height of three foot three inches. He would use his unique physical 150 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:24.320 appearance to his advantage, gaining specialty roles in many Hollywood productions in the nineteen 151 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.480 thirties and nineteen forties. Ericson's breakout role came in nineteen thirty nine, when 152 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.080 he was cast to play multiple munchkins in the hit movie The Wizard of Oz. 153 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.519 This day in Sioux Falls History has been brought to you by the Sioux 154 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.799 Falls Fun Page, West Sioux Studios and Sunny ninety three point three.
