00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.000
Welcome, Welcome, welcome. It's
time for a round two of our community

2
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.760
connection right here on K one,
the one you dress him from Dewey.

3
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.839
It's just Laurie. How you doing
great? Laurie Heron is here with us,

4
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.960
and Dewey is the happening place,
Dewey America, ladies and gentlemen.

5
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.759
I was told that that it's now
just one syllable, yes, sir,

6
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:36.799
and some and some some circles it
is. So what's going on these days?

7
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.679
Well, how was your fourth?
It was really good. It was

8
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:44.000
better than the fifth, the third, and much better than the third.

9
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.840
Well, our fourth was pretty cool, it was I was a part of

10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:52.719
it. The bear well, well, I was doing the radio and sheriff

11
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.840
asked me. He says, if
you want to sing, just let us

12
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.000
know. And then I got a
phone calls and I had to go some

13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.079
pay tail, but otherwise I was
I was all ready to go. I

14
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.959
was very honored that day and mister
Belton to ask that is there and I

15
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.480
would have been upset. I didn't
hear your voice because I was running around.

16
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:15.000
Yeah, that was my first experience
and amazingly cute. They started off

17
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.280
with the hydrant letting the water go
down and gravity took its course and they

18
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.239
made the small little rapids for the
ducks and right on through sailed on the

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.079
first place. It was probably about
I don't know this far apart, but

20
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.280
it was. It was absolutely cool. The community came together even in that

21
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.760
heat and stayed. The watermelon was
cold. It was I have to admit

22
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.840
I did try it. Yeah,
I'm not a watermelon girl, but I

23
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.079
was that night and it was it
was refreshing and it was just it was

24
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.000
just neat to see the community come
together, even in that heat, not

25
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.439
late at night, so but it
was worth it. Fia of faux foul

26
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.239
going hooked, I'm hooked. I
filmed everybody walking down the river watching their

27
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.359
ducks, so it was quite a
sight. It was quite a sight.

28
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.159
And then after that you have the
fireworks and everybody you know walked away just

29
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.519
thinking, wow, dude, it's
a cool place. The DCA definitely put

30
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.120
on a good show this year,
for sure, So it's just gonna get

31
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.879
better and better every year, just
you know, from COVID and then no

32
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.080
water, so let us bring it
back. Let's get the get the ducks

33
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.000
back. Oh, it was really
cool. I saw the friends of Dewey

34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.080
Park. They had their little ten
out there we were and there do you

35
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.159
guys do any bricking? I did? I was the one that was sent

36
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.800
amongst the piers. Did some politicken, did sell some bricks, got some

37
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.280
new businesses that might be coming into
town, even them interested. So just

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:39.199
doing what I do didn't save.
So we have boots and badges. That's

39
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.360
the first thing that's tomorrow. What
is boots and bad boots and badges is

40
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.319
celebrating the life well, the life
saving responders that we have. The blood

41
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.840
drive boots and badges terrifying. Anyways, there's a trophy to get at the

42
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.280
end. But the best part is
if you come out donate blood UH supports

43
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.479
community support this first responders. But
then also that you get a free shirt

44
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.759
of course that's swag, and you
also get two free tickets to either Frontier

45
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:10.319
City or six Flags excuse me,
six Flags Hurricane Harbor podcast. Oh god,

46
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.840
that'd be great. But it is
at the Dewey Public Schools Student Center

47
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.680
right there on seventy five. You'll
see it off to the off to your

48
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.879
the north seventy five and it's from
twelve pm to six And just make sure

49
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.120
you eat something before you go in
and hang out, donate blood, hang

50
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.319
with your community, and you got
to tell them which one you're supporting,

51
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.520
right, I support both, sir? I mean, I mean when when

52
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.120
we're donating blood? Oh individual does
I think? So? Is that what

53
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.319
they? I don't. I don't
remember that part, but I'm I can't

54
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.039
tell you who I'm voting for.
Okay, gotcha? All right? We

55
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.560
next up, we have so the
second Saturday. Would we are still holding

56
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.879
somewhat of a Second Saturday. There'll
just be no events outside because it's the

57
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.919
swelter completely, So everybody will have
still sales that are participating in it.

58
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.919
They'll still be sells inside their stores. One cool thing is that Randy is

59
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.800
opening her one side of the Simple
Simons, her restaurant for some vendors to

60
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.360
go on that side. Nice,
so there will be some inside there if

61
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.199
you want to check out Simple Simons. I think starting around ten same time.

62
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.000
But like, everybody still have their
own sales, just nothing outside to

63
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:23.199
go through that hot sponge, yeah, Caul humidity and then right, well

64
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.879
then after that you already talked about
Friends of Dewey Parks. We have Cementa

65
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.480
has been poured and our yesterday morning
at six am for the bathrooms, mister

66
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.600
Trees was out there taking the boards
down, checking out what's going on.

67
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.480
Has a lot of a lot of
to do with the Dowey Public Works,

68
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.759
mister Trees do. Putting that bathroom
together pretty cool. I'm thinking about all

69
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.639
the cool things that I've never seen
concrete peo poured. So I paid attention

70
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.079
and asked questions and it was pretty
cool. Of course took pictures, I

71
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.680
will tell you that, but it's
pretty cool to see what all facets that

72
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.519
the public works can do, you
know, especially I mean now they're doing

73
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.759
a bathroom, so so that's pretty
cool. They also have their website finally,

74
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.639
so we have Friends of Dewey Parks
dot org and that is where you

75
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.120
can now go to find all of
what's going on, how you can donate,

76
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.600
what about the bricks, how you
can buy a brick, and it

77
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.480
also far follow through what's going on
in the happenings of our park, like

78
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.959
the pictures of the bathroom. Yeah, I got to tell you, don

79
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.959
Tyler Park is about one of the
cleanest because John Tyler looked amazing. Yeah,

80
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.519
public works, public works and you
know the playground equipment was nice,

81
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.279
plenty of rooms spread out so that
you don't have to be on top of

82
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.199
each other for your picnic, and
they're just enjoying the outdoors. You got

83
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.120
a lot of a lot of space, a lot of rooms. And imagine

84
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.240
what's going to happen in the Lions
Park downtown. Yeah, we're gonna have

85
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.199
It's gonna be amazing. You know
something. That park is a dandy as

86
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.000
it is, but with these new
improvements coming up, it's going to be

87
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.920
a mussy And it's one of those
things where folks kind of they go,

88
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.800
oh, I didn't know there was
a park, fact there behind the mind

89
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.319
the downtown facades. No, and
then it's like it's a darn nice little

90
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.720
park. So get these second saturdays
going, Yeah, familiarize yourself with it,

91
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.639
and then events that we can have
downtown. More things can be focused

92
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.720
and everybody, you know, take
a break, a little hub to eat.

93
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.319
You know, we have food truck
pats and you know, just it'll

94
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.959
be. It'll be awesome, lovely
green space and a lovely small town exactly.

95
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.000
I mean that's America exactly. And
it's next to the library. It

96
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.839
is a mortal library. What they
have going on will be the soonest would

97
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.879
be the Rummage cell, which is
August eighth through the tenth. Miss Jordan

98
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.959
the library, and ask that you
please give them a call before you donate

99
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.959
just or drop off, just so
that she can guide either when these pieces

100
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.800
go or not. But other than
that, that's duey sir, that is

101
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.600
I gotta tell you an awkward nutshell. Well, I gotta tell you it's

102
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.800
a beautiful town. I always have
fun up there. We had a blast

103
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.120
on the fourth of July. I
always have a fun when it gets around

104
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.279
the Christmas holidays too, but always
in between there are different opportunities for you

105
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.399
to take in the sites. We
have a couple of historic places where folks

106
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.680
could go visit and when you get
done, do a little light shopping,

107
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:13.480
do do a little heavy eating or
heavy shopping there you go either way,

108
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.399
what am I talking about? Either
way, and then we'll just have more

109
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.000
places for everybody to enjoy. Oh, indeed, and it's laid out nicely.

110
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.920
I mean you can't get lost.
I mean you have to try pretty

111
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.279
hard to get lost, and all
you do is just cross seventy five to

112
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.800
keep it going. Because we have
everything out the other end, Yeah,

113
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.800
you do, you do, you
know you have to some relatively new businesses.

114
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.040
You got that new pharmacy that yes, creative health, Yeah, creative

115
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.720
health, and it's it's it's it's
definitely she's done some improvements inside from when

116
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.560
I was a little girl going in
there. So it looks pretty cool from

117
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.040
just you know, bringing up to
date and modernized, especially no as medicine

118
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.439
it goes. But Ashley is doing
a great job over there. We have

119
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:55.199
some craft people, people who do
some handy, really cool woodwork, and

120
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.959
it's up there in Dewey. We
have all kinds of antiquers what is it

121
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.120
antique proprietor or there's a special name
for antique f folks not old because of

122
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:13.199
not old. These are young people
that deal with antiques. But if they

123
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.120
sell, these sell a lot every
week. And linger Longer is one of

124
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.759
the it's just one of the most
one that I go to first just because

125
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.839
it has the ice cream. But
I I literally went there two days,

126
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.480
three days after my son was born
and brought my mom who's from Vegas,

127
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.360
and that's where she wanted to go, and that's that's where they wanted to

128
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.279
go there, and again talk about
summers and Christmases here that was just where

129
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.679
I hung out linger longer, all
the antique stores, Tom Mix Museum,

130
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.159
the Dewey Hotel. So I can't
wait for the park. This park is

131
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.440
really going to be the icing on
the cake. It really is now.

132
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.440
If folks want to find out what's
going on in the city of do you

133
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.840
have the city websites. It's very
very function very easy to follow. Yes,

134
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.080
but in the city. Facebook probably
has a little more, more more

135
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.879
up to date stuff, but there's
a calendar on the website that they keep

136
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.039
abreast of all the new stuff too. All right, if you want to

137
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.000
find out what's going on in doing
just go to the Facebook page. Also

138
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.679
go to their website, or just
say hey, Laurie, what's happening.

139
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.080
She'll tell you call up city hall
and you can get a hold of me.

140
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.639
There you go, Hey, thanks
for being with us today.
