00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:08.759
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome,

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:13.080
welcome time. Now for our second
part of our community connection right here

3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:17.320
on K one, the one you
trust. Hey, it's getting to look

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.679
a lot like Chris Kendle Market.
Yes, it is, ma'am. Great

5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.480
Tom, How are you doing?
I'm doing OKM, I mean okay,

6
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.800
I like that. Yeah, Chris
Kindle Market's coming up on November eleventh and

7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.399
twelfth. It's on a Saturday and
a Sunday. This year we've added a

8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.799
day. On the eleventh will be
from nine to five, and on Sunday

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.320
it'll be from eleven to did I
say nine to five? Yes? And

10
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.679
on Sunday it'll be from eleven to
five. So we are super excited to

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.840
have two days. We have more
vendors than we've ever had. We have

12
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.960
amazing food, amazing shopping, amazing
kids things going on, and I know

13
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.240
you're going to be there for the
glue vine and some pastries and some awesome

14
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.600
food prepared by Oliver ivand be prepared
for the stamp of approval. There you

15
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.359
go, thank you. And we're
also excited about our kids' events. We

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.959
have decorating gingerbread cookies and for those
of you who haven't had food from Melodies,

17
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.959
you've got to go buy there.
She is making the gingerbread cookies,

18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.040
so they are going to be fantastic. So kids will get to decorate them,

19
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.560
take them home, and then eat
them later, so that will be

20
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.000
exciting. We've to get them home
before they eat, that is true.

21
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.799
I may have to come by in
Snag one. We're going to have decorating

22
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.280
wooden snowmen. We're going to have
decorating some beautiful little wooden ornaments for Christmas,

23
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.599
so maybe kids can decorate those and
give them out as gifts or keep

24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.439
them for themselves as a keepsake.
We've got our annual Christmas tree bowling,

25
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.959
which is always fun with some fun
prizes, a snowball toss, a huge

26
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.879
jumpy house again, falling snow,
and I'm really excited about the snow.

27
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.120
Normally we have a nice machine,
of course, because we can't always depend

28
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.200
that it's going to snow, so
we have a nice little machine that makes

29
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.799
it snow. This year we have
two machines. It's a snowman and a

30
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:07.359
missus snowman who looked like they are
blowing snow out and from their hands and

31
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:08.520
so I think it'll be really cute. I think it's going to be fun.

32
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.319
So of course, lots of things
for kids, kids twelve and under

33
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.520
are free, so that should help
out the family and get those kiddos out

34
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.039
there. And then of course we
have our Giant Candy Land game, so

35
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.039
that's always fun and you can win
lots of candy. If you didn't get

36
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.479
enough last night, come back out
on the eleventh of November and the twelfth

37
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.080
of November and get some more candy. You know. The thing about the

38
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.800
snow is really kind of cool.
We're from up Boy and the first year

39
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.000
we went to the one where we
had it at the community center. Yes,

40
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.919
the snow machine was there. Yes, Our youngest of seven, yes

41
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.360
at that time, was maybe about
thirteen. She goes, oh my gosh,

42
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:53.439
there's snow in Oklahoma, and there
wouldn't be any even though she bought

43
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.000
into it. I remember that year
we had to put it up high on

44
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.240
the riser she did going into the
community center. We thought, I don't

45
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.240
know if people willpreciate this or not, but it's a pretty light fault.

46
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.360
It was. It was very nice. We did not put it on blizzard

47
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.080
setting, so we need people to
buy their tickets. If they want to

48
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.960
buy their tickets before the fourth of
November, they can get a nice discount,

49
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.840
and so they need to go to
okayamusic dot org, come by the

50
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.199
office at four fifteen South Dewey,
or they can call us at nine one

51
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.479
eight three three six nine nine zero
zero to get their tickets. It's always

52
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.719
a good idea to get them early
so that you don't have to stand in

53
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.919
line. We'll just scan you on
in and you can get into shopping and

54
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.960
eating. Wow. We there you
go. Yeah, zoom, it's all

55
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.000
about the zoom, that is true. But we don't have any zoom requirements

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.319
for this event. No, no, no, no, it's about getting

57
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.560
in there quickly. Yeah no.
And we have a lot of amazing entertainment

58
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.800
that we will also have. We'll
have the Bartlesville Jazz Choir, just Sell

59
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.000
Dobson, Matty McGuire, Lisa Steele, and we'll have some of her piano

60
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.240
students come and perform. The Bartlesville
orchest Or, Bartoswell High School organ Stra

61
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.759
Santa and Missus Clause of course will
be there. And then we'll also have

62
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.639
Josh Colway, who I think will
be playing pianos, so very exciting to

63
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.759
hear all of these students. It's
a day that we like to really pay

64
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.360
tribute to our local youth artists and
performers. And I think it's a really

65
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.680
great way for people to get to
come out and see the talent that we

66
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.680
have in Bartlesville, the uprising or
upcoming stars. Of course, you know

67
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:30.199
Justial, they come up in a
hurry. But then we have just Sell

68
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.920
and you know, Maddie played for
us a couple of years ago at wool

69
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.439
O Rock. Just Sell played for
us this last year at wooll O' Rock.

70
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.519
And they both are extremely talented young
ladies who have beautiful voices. So

71
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.240
I think people will not be disappointed. And if that wasn't enough, then

72
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.639
you've got to come out, hang
out with the family, see your friends,

73
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.800
see your neighbors, and do a
lot of shopping. We have so

74
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.519
many kinds of artists. We have
crafts, we have arts, we have

75
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:59.360
wreaths, knits, glassware, we
have sweet confections, children's books, sauces

76
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.800
and spices, home to court,
garden, decord, jewelry, and clay

77
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.720
art. And I think there's even
more that I haven't mentioned. I know

78
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.639
we have a garden store that will
be there. We have Christmas ornaments.

79
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.319
I was just talking to one of
the vendors who lived in Germany for I

80
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.360
think she said, thirteen or fifteen
years, and she took German folk art,

81
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.120
Russian folk art, and Scandinavian sort
of rose Maul folk art and has

82
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.519
sort of combineded those into her own
form of a folk art. And she

83
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.240
paints these wonderful Christmas ornaments. And
she paints like stacking dolls. She paints

84
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.959
like if you're gonna drink like out
of a coffee, a kind of thermal

85
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.199
cup. She paints on the outside
of those and decorates them anyway. She's

86
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.759
very talented. And I told her
I can't wait to see all of her

87
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.040
stuff. I can't wait to see
it. I want to see how this

88
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.399
all comes together. Yeah, we
have another vendor who's coming who does a

89
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:51.120
lot of Western sort of like I
don't know that it's all Christmas related,

90
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.959
but from the pictures I've seen,
she does like she'll take like a rope

91
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.879
and make it into a wreath and
it's just beautiful, garnish it with floral

92
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.920
designs and whatnot. And so I'm
very excited. She has some type of

93
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:09.279
very intrigued kind of blingy horseshoes that
she decorates, and so I think there's

94
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:15.120
going to be something for everyone.
This is great and it all BENEFITSKM music.

95
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.920
And of course we're more than just
the big festival that you're familiar with.

96
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.319
We also do tons of children's programs
where we're out there with the educational

97
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.519
outreach and it just goes on.
It started out as just a little show

98
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:33.279
and now it's a whole darn thing
that goes from kids to kids to ninety

99
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.160
two. That is true. And
at the Chris Kendal Market, because we

100
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.240
do pay so much homage to our
youth artist, we try to raise as

101
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.079
much money as possible to help us
continue with the youth programming, and the

102
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.079
more we raise, the more we
can do. Of course, the programming

103
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:53.000
that we do for almost seven to
ten days if you overlap the start of

104
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.000
the main festival, it's all free
for kids and we give away books,

105
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.240
we give away instruments, we give
away art supplies. It's very expensive to

106
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.360
do that. Normally somewhere we spend
on a given year anywhere between sixty five

107
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:10.120
thousand and eighty five thousand dollars on
our children's programming. Free to the community,

108
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.680
free to the families, free to
kids. Obviously, we try to

109
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.279
let the kids get in free to
all the concerts, even free to all

110
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.160
of these events, and so unfortunately
the things that we have to purchase for

111
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:25.079
that are not free. So we
have to raise money. And so you

112
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.560
know, yes, people's support by
coming out and you know, giving us

113
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.560
a little bit poor a gate entry. That's what your money goes to help

114
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.399
support. It's the youth. It's
to introduce them to culture, to arts,

115
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.439
to music, and it really does
make a difference when you see a

116
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.319
little guy's face just light up because
they're getting introduced to something new, or

117
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.600
even if it's painting a gingerbread cookie
while maybe listening to some of those art

118
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.879
it's all worth it. It's wonderful, it's an awesome experience. We do

119
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.800
also have tom I can't go without
saying. We have another fundraiser which we

120
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:03.000
always try to do, a raffle. This year it's mary Lynn's Favorite Things

121
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.399
for the twelve Days of Christmas and
for twenty twenty three. The valued package

122
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:13.399
of this item is twenty twenty three
dollars and it has twelve wonderful gifts.

123
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.720
So we have a green pan pots
sort of twelve piece pot pan, a

124
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.439
thing that's wonderful. We have a
thermal mug. We have a candle,

125
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.399
We have a smeg mixer. We
have a green pan, really cool croc

126
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.319
pod. It does all this other
stuff as well, a Las Crusee baking

127
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.879
pan, a Kate Spade purse.
We have two different kinds of candy that

128
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.399
are delicious. We have a beautiful
luscious fur type blanket. Of course it's

129
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:45.679
faux fur, but it's wonderful.
We have McKenzie child stacking nutcracker mugs,

130
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.679
and then we have which everyone I
think has on their Christmas list, the

131
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.799
Therma gun, which is like the
massager that you can do for your back.

132
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.000
So it's a really nice package.
You can go on get your Raffle

133
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.759
tickets now you can buy them at
the event. We have all kinds of

134
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.639
packages for those twenty dollars for one
ticket, or you can get you know

135
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.080
it stairsteps on all the way up
to seven tickets for one hundred dollars.

136
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.679
So we try to give our nice
sponsors and our nice people who buy these

137
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.639
tickets a little bit of a break. But it all goes back to children's

138
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.519
programming, and some lucky winner can
either get all their Christmas presents to give

139
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.720
out to the family or they can
have a really nice Christmas for themselves.

140
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.519
I like how that works out there, really exactly got a got all the

141
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.120
angles covered on that one. That
is true. This is gonna be so

142
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.440
much fun. And it's coming up
