Lots of parking in the bank's parking

38
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.599
Very handy. Hope everyone will have
a great time. It's a good

39
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.599
block. We've used it several times
and it's a lot of fun looking forward

40
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.360
to it. It's three pm to
nine pm Saturday, October seventh, so

41
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.159
pray for good weather. We'll have
a lot of fun. As Rosa saying,

42
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.000
there's many many things to do,
some of the new, some of

43
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.560
the fantastic things. So when you
get down to the dancing part, we

Chicken dance. So you know, we

00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.520
big, young, old and everybody. So I have a good time.

47
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.039
Now. We got some music being
provided by some old favorites, don't we.

48
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:49.919
We do the Black Spiel and King
Cabbage is going to be there.

49
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.759
The American German Society dancers from TOFA
are going to be there. They're always

50
00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:00.439
fun, they are, and they're
there's also going to be like beer and

51
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.639
wine for the adults, you know, and then they have a beer race

52
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:10.560
and all those kind of things.
But most of all, right now we're

53
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.879
looking at doing the volunteers. Be
sure to go on our website which is

54
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:21.680
okay, I'm music dot org backslash
Events and just pull down Octoberfest and it'll

55
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.199
have volunteer and it'll have our whole
schedule on there, and we'd love to

56
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.439
have you come out and as being
a community project and help us, you

57
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.079
know that that is going to be
a lot of fun. And I can't

58
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:39.399
think of a better time a volunteer
can have is to help other people have

59
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.639
fun themselves, because you're gonna have
a lot of fun just watching them.

60
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.240
Why have fun with the kids all
the time, you're in your element road.

61
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.040
I know when you come out,
you can support the arts and do

62
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.079
a wonderful thing for the city,
keep the community the water, help us

63
00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.120
with our wells, and have a
good time. And volunteers God have a

64
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.000
good time as well. So it's
fun for everybody. So we look for

65
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.160
the whole family, and we hope
you can. We hope you enjoy it.

66
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.439
You know, we just wrapped up
with the festival not that long ago

67
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.120
really, and that was a tremendous
festival. But it's events like this to

68
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.279
keep the wheels turning so that we
can bring the festival each and every year

69
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:25.399
and some of our educational projects going
along as well. And so you know,

70
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.079
some people might call it fund raising. I call it fun crazy because

71
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.680
we're raising a lot of fun while
we're raising about that's absolutely. You know,

72
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:41.040
after October Fest comes Chris Kendall and
there'll be more information on that.

73
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.519
But the dates are the eleventh and
the twelfth, and it's going to be

74
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.720
over at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Okay, so we gotta remember Hilton Garden

75
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:54.959
Inn. And expanded to two count
new days, two days. Also in

76
00:05:55.079 --> 00:06:00.160
November is Giving Tuesday, the last
Tuesday of the month, and then we

77
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.600
swing into December. And do you
know what happens in December? It's say

78
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.920
Nick stay for the children. They
love that and the adults love that too,

79
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:14.079
that's right, they're it's it's it's
a con tells us something and it

80
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.079
goes on the kids talk about it. So next year it's going ready for

81
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.519
this stampe and that stamp and it's
a lot of fun. And you know,

82
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.680
that's what it's all about for us. It's the music and the music

83
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.279
enjoyment it can bring to kids and
where it can go for kids and thinking

84
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.079
about their fecture. So it comes
on us plays. It's gonna be a

85
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.519
lot of a lot of fun.
So the fall is really where it's kind

86
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.560
of happening. We've got October Fast, We've got Chris Kendall mark two days,

87
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.160
and we also have Saint Nicholas,
and you know, it just kind

88
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.680
of builds on itself and then once
again getting ready for festival. And I

89
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.000
like the fact that Okam is so
vibrant, it is so alive, and

90
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.240
it's so in our community at so
many different points in our calendar year.

91
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.279
You know, we have we tried
to do it so that we have something

92
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.639
each and every you know, during
that the whole year, not just the

93
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.360
one or two weeks that you know
the festival used to be yea, but

94
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.399
something for everyone to come and join. And it helps with the name recognition,

95
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.519
doesn't it. It's anonymous with fun
and great times, absolutely and you

96
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.120
know, for the children, it
should never stop. You can't have a

97
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.000
once a year event. They can
have their birthday and that's it. That's

98
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.560
you know the rest of the time
they're growing and going. So give them

99
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.959
something to think about, something to
do, something to enjoy. And it

100
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.720
really pays off, it does it
really does. We have you know,

101
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.600
children under twelve or free. Mine
were kind of costs. Oh you mean

102
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.480
to the event. Oh they cost
the law, don't they But free to

103
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:58.680
the event. It is free to
the event, and that that's a probably

104
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.279
a money saver for you know,
the family because they can kind of do

105
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.519
their thing, and then we have
the kids and they can do We can

106
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.439
have them and entertain them too.
Now, we brought our youngest to this

107
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.240
we first got here and she went
home very, very tired. So you

108
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.600
know, if the kids got a
lot of energy, they can expand it

109
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.759
there and they'll sleep very well that
night. I'm just telling you from a

110
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.240
fair who knows beg fun. It's
wonderful that we're able to do that,

111
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.559
and it's because we are some wonderful
people in this community that don support us,

112
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.480
and we fresciate that per very much. Unfortunately, over the lost month

113
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:41.600
and John Byrne, which is very
sad and for the entire community. So

114
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.480
we're working hard to continue to keep
it going. And we need volunteers,

115
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.399
