We've 13 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.280 also got a lot of different activities coming up. What's what's coming up tomorrow? 14 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.280 Tomorrow is the day that all of the indoor entries need to be turned 15 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.240 in. The time to do that will be from noon to seven pm. 16 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.240 Oh, okay, noon to seven pm. So you got to get him 17 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.159 in there too, and then we've got it We've got a little party. 18 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.000 Kevin got a kickoff party on Wednesday. We will have our outdoor movie at 19 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:19.040 six o'clock. We also have Hamburgers by RCB Bank and let's see. Oh 20 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.519 our movie will be Web and that's the two thousand and six version of Charlotte's 21 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.560 Web. So it's going to be on the lawn and on the side of 22 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.640 the fair building is so bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on. 23 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.599 All right, good and snacks and he said to Hamburger is going to 24 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.920 be available. Yes, I hope. We're hoping to have some other snack 25 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.519 options there. Well, if all goes well, that's very good. Now 26 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.280 this is a cool kickoff party. Now, well, we've got another attraction 27 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.560 this year, actually is an expanded attraction. It's called the Children's Barnyard and 28 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.760 Kitty Corral. It is so the Children's barn Yard has been part of the 29 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.120 fair for years and years and it's one of the main draws it because it 30 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.120 does cater to the to the younger kids, but not but everyone enjoys it. 31 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:15.879 This year it has been revamped and reworked and expanded and so now there's 32 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.680 a whole play area just west of the children's barn yard. It's called the 33 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.960 Kitty Corral and there are tons of things for kids to come in there and 34 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:34.000 do. So most of them are educational agg related games, but there's there's 35 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.840 just a lot to do. I took a peek out it yesterday and I 36 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.919 was thoroughly impressed. So this is pretty well revamped is well. Also Southwest 37 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.439 Dairy will have their traveling traders, so there will be cow milking demonstrations by 38 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.759 Southwest Dairy on Thursday and Friday. Nice good right in there next to the 39 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.120 kitty Krawl. You know, the kids are always kind of whatever they see 40 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.280 that to go, is that really where the yeah you want to squeak? 41 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.520 No, how do and some do? Some are ready to go up there 42 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.960 and and milk, and others are like, well just watch. But they 43 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.879 just when it gets right down to nature where your food toys has just come 44 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.360 from, they get a little bit wow. Right used to people were maybe 45 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.199 one generation from the farm, and now it's two or three generations, so 46 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.919 they don't have that connection with a farm or this is a great way to 47 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.240 reconnect. This is how to do it right here. Plus we've got the 48 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.360 livestock exhibits. Tell us a little bit of livestock comes in on Wednesday. 49 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:38.560 The first show is on Thursday. Our dog and pet show is Thursday. 50 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:46.159 That's always a big and a fund one. Let's see. Sutton Aviation will 51 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:53.080 be there on Thursday from eleven to four. Are they doing things with hogs 52 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.159 or eat? I really don't know what they're bringing, but it's going to 53 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:00.280 be some kind of birds of prey a demonstration and so I had they're gonna 54 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.000 have them fly in and doing some demonstrations. The research people they are great, 55 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.560 they said, the fella and sometimes a young lady out to the schools, 56 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.159 so maybe you'll get both. We got a cool that would be and 57 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.600 OSU the Master Gardeners will have their Ossue Insect Adventure inside. We're getting we're 58 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.560 getting bugs all from creepy crawley little things that it was. They did it 59 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.040 last year and it was kind of a hit, so they are going to 60 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:32.519 return it. On Friday is mainly when the animal shows are and Saturday the 61 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.360 dairy, cow and goats will be on Friday. The sheep, goats, 62 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.600 swine and cattle are gonna be Saturday starting at nine am. Okay, that'd 63 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.040 be big. Now, I understand that a lot of groups kind of vibe 64 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.879 for a position as to who's going to serve lunch and dinner out there at 65 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.879 the fair They do. We gotta run down here, I do. This 66 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:01.600 is a big opportunity for a lot of our local organizations to do some fundraising. 67 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:08.480 And so we always have meals in the north room of the fairground for 68 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.279 lunch and dinner.

I know I'm gonna be out there 158 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.799 broadcasting one of the days. I'm not quite sure which it is. Probably 159 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.159 I think it's probably Friday. It's when they normally send me out. They 160 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.519 said, go find something it's fair. So okay, while I open the 161 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.519 door, Bang, there it is dog. No. I'm at that age 162 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.440 where I have to watch everything and write down everything I consume these days. 163 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.759 But I will glad they watch other people. I have fun. Yeah, 164 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.480 I came out and did that. We did Facebook live on that last year. 165 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.399 There. It's going to be a timer. Fifteen minutes. Good because 166 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:30.720 my phone almost ran out of film. So I believe it's the first fifteen 167 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:35.639 people to enter five dollars to enter, the first person to eat fifteen hot 168 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.799 dogs or the most in fifteen minutes is the winner. Winner takes all, 169 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:45.399 okay, take takes all out the sheltered Yes, who's providing the meat? 170 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.600 Rainy's Custom Butchering is going to provide the meat, and Survivals and safe Rooms 171 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.159 are going to provide the buns for us this year.
