around the corner of by golly, we got it got very very fast.
It's October seven, three pm to nine pm. Looking forward to having a
good day, good weather, a lot of people out and now we're ready
to talk to you about volunteers which we need to help us get ready.
Well, it's a lot of working for those. Any help anybody can give
us, particularly some of our banking friends who are good at collecting tickets,
because we have an offer going on a ticket sales October one. Our three
dollars less than normal normally there are ten dollars total and fifteen dollars total.
But you have the three dollars reduction that quickly. I hope you'll do that.
It's gonna be a lot of fun. It's it's a kid friendly event.
It's fame adventurous. We're gonna get out and do the old family routine.
See what we can do, So go have a lot of fun.
Well it sounds like it ros Well, how about food. Everybody wants to
know about food, I'm telling you, So we have all kinds of German
food. That's gonna be like warm pretzels, savory brought, delicious apple strudle
and other delicious German foods. And there's also gonna be like a cheesecake,
but cake, noodles, street tacos and lots lots more oh my, oh
my. And then you know, since it is a family fun venturous day,
we have whole games for all the children as well as adults. So
if you're good at cornhole, acts, throwing red beer, pong, the
game of life is going to be live. That's gonna be something. Yes,
I like that. I look at that cool. And there's gonna be
put putt golf. And you know, some of the younger children could even
do some of these things, but we have games for them too. We
have the jumpy bounce house, arts and crafts, and we have the duck
race, I mean, and then they all get something you know, in
a bag to take home. That's our theme for the for October fests.
Okay, well this is gonna be just a ton of fun. Now where
are we going to be stationed? Right there by the building? Yes,
we'll be between fourth and fourth straight on Doory. That's the harder downtown.
Lots of parking in the bank's parking in the school and the churches close by.
Very handy. Hope everyone will have a great time. It's a good
block. We've used it several times and it's a lot of fun looking forward
to it. It's three pm to nine pm Saturday, October seventh, so
pray for good weather. We'll have a lot of fun. As Rosa saying,
there's many many things to do, some of the new, some of
the fantastic things. So when you get down to the dancing part, we
want you in good shape for the Chicken dance. So you know, we
got the whole thing and it ought to be a lot of fun for a
big, young, old and everybody. So I have a good time.
Now. We got some music being provided by some old favorites, don't we.
We do the Black Spiel and King Cabbage is going to be there.
The American German Society dancers from TOFA are going to be there. They're always
fun, they are, and they're there's also going to be like beer and
wine for the adults, you know, and then they have a beer race
and all those kind of things. But most of all, right now we're
looking at doing the volunteers. Be sure to go on our website which is
okay, I'm music dot org backslash Events and just pull down Octoberfest and it'll
have volunteer and it'll have our whole schedule on there, and we'd love to
have you come out and as being a community project and help us, you
know that that is going to be a lot of fun. And I can't
think of a better time a volunteer can have is to help other people have
fun themselves, because you're gonna have a lot of fun just watching them.
Why have fun with the kids all the time, you're in your element road.
I know when you come out, you can support the arts and do
a wonderful thing for the city, keep the community the water, help us
with our wells, and have a good time. And volunteers God have a
good time as well. So it's fun for everybody. So we look for
the whole family, and we hope you can. We hope you enjoy it.
You know, we just wrapped up with the festival not that long ago
really, and that was a tremendous festival. But it's events like this to
keep the wheels turning so that we can bring the festival each and every year
and some of our educational projects going along as well. And so you know,
some people might call it fund raising. I call it fun crazy because
we're raising a lot of fun while we're raising about that's absolutely. You know,
after October Fest comes Chris Kendall and there'll be more information on that.
But the dates are the eleventh and the twelfth, and it's going to be
over at the Hilton Garden Inn. Okay, so we gotta remember Hilton Garden
Inn. And expanded to two count new days, two days. Also in
November is Giving Tuesday, the last Tuesday of the month, and then we
swing into December. And do you know what happens in December? It's say
Nick stay for the children. They love that and the adults love that too,
that's right, they're it's it's it's a con tells us something and it
goes on the kids talk about it. So next year it's going ready for
this stampe and that stamp and it's a lot of fun. And you know,
that's what it's all about for us. It's the music and the music
enjoyment it can bring to kids and where it can go for kids and thinking
about their fecture. So it comes on us plays. It's gonna be a
lot of a lot of fun. So the fall is really where it's kind
of happening. We've got October Fast, We've got Chris Kendall mark two days,
and we also have Saint Nicholas, and you know, it just kind
of builds on itself and then once again getting ready for festival. And I
like the fact that Okam is so vibrant, it is so alive, and
it's so in our community at so many different points in our calendar year.
You know, we have we tried to do it so that we have something
each and every you know, during that the whole year, not just the
one or two weeks that you know the festival used to be yea, but
something for everyone to come and join. And it helps with the name recognition,
doesn't it. It's anonymous with fun and great times, absolutely and you
know, for the children, it should never stop. You can't have a
once a year event. They can have their birthday and that's it. That's
you know the rest of the time they're growing and going. So give them
something to think about, something to do, something to enjoy. And it
really pays off, it does it really does. We have you know,
children under twelve or free. Mine were kind of costs. Oh you mean
to the event. Oh they cost the law, don't they But free to
the event. It is free to the event, and that that's a probably
a money saver for you know, the family because they can kind of do
their thing, and then we have the kids and they can do We can
have them and entertain them too. Now, we brought our youngest to this
we first got here and she went home very, very tired. So you
know, if the kids got a lot of energy, they can expand it
there and they'll sleep very well that night. I'm just telling you from a
fair who knows beg fun. It's wonderful that we're able to do that,
and it's because we are some wonderful people in this community that don support us,
and we fresciate that per very much. Unfortunately, over the lost month
and John Byrne, which is very sad and for the entire community. So
we're working hard to continue to keep it going. And we need volunteers,
right Rose, We sure do. And make sure you go to that website
sign up it is okay and music dot org backslash events and there you go
and you can't go wrong. And folks, I'm going to be doing at
article on this on the website and you'll be able to see it on the
Facebook here a little bit later on today to give you all that information because
I know a few of you are out there and say, hey, that
