Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome
in his time now for our community connection live in studio today, we're talking
to our friends from the Washington County Free Fair. We have Rebecca Moses and
Kevin White with us. How you doing, folks, for great things?
Well, it's it's like the day before, the day before, Rebecca,
you're about to bust here. We've got the Free Fair coming up this week
and it's a big deal. It is. We're gonna have a good year.
I can feel it in my bones. Yes you are. Now,
Kevin, you've been on and off the board since the eighties, so you've
seen you've seen this thing kind of take a little metamorphosis here and by the
last couple of times grows. Sometimes it's not as big, bit, it's
always good. It's always gonna be a lot of fun. Now. We've
also got a lot of different activities coming up. What's what's coming up tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the day that all of the indoor entries need to be turned
in. The time to do that will be from noon to seven pm.
Oh, okay, noon to seven pm. So you got to get him
in there too, and then we've got it We've got a little party.
Kevin got a kickoff party on Wednesday. We will have our outdoor movie at
six o'clock. We also have Hamburgers by RCB Bank and let's see. Oh
our movie will be Web and that's the two thousand and six version of Charlotte's
Web. So it's going to be on the lawn and on the side of
the fair building is so bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on.
All right, good and snacks and he said to Hamburger is going to
be available. Yes, I hope. We're hoping to have some other snack
options there. Well, if all goes well, that's very good. Now
this is a cool kickoff party. Now, well, we've got another attraction
this year, actually is an expanded attraction. It's called the Children's Barnyard and
Kitty Corral. It is so the Children's barn Yard has been part of the
fair for years and years and it's one of the main draws it because it
does cater to the to the younger kids, but not but everyone enjoys it.
This year it has been revamped and reworked and expanded and so now there's
a whole play area just west of the children's barn yard. It's called the
Kitty Corral and there are tons of things for kids to come in there and
do. So most of them are educational agg related games, but there's there's
just a lot to do. I took a peek out it yesterday and I
was thoroughly impressed. So this is pretty well revamped is well. Also Southwest
Dairy will have their traveling traders, so there will be cow milking demonstrations by
Southwest Dairy on Thursday and Friday. Nice good right in there next to the
kitty Krawl. You know, the kids are always kind of whatever they see
that to go, is that really where the yeah you want to squeak?
No, how do and some do? Some are ready to go up there
and and milk, and others are like, well just watch. But they
just when it gets right down to nature where your food toys has just come
from, they get a little bit wow. Right used to people were maybe
one generation from the farm, and now it's two or three generations, so
they don't have that connection with a farm or this is a great way to
reconnect. This is how to do it right here. Plus we've got the
livestock exhibits. Tell us a little bit of livestock comes in on Wednesday.
The first show is on Thursday. Our dog and pet show is Thursday.
That's always a big and a fund one. Let's see. Sutton Aviation will
be there on Thursday from eleven to four. Are they doing things with hogs
or eat? I really don't know what they're bringing, but it's going to
be some kind of birds of prey a demonstration and so I had they're gonna
have them fly in and doing some demonstrations. The research people they are great,
they said, the fella and sometimes a young lady out to the schools,
so maybe you'll get both. We got a cool that would be and
OSU the Master Gardeners will have their Ossue Insect Adventure inside. We're getting we're
getting bugs all from creepy crawley little things that it was. They did it
last year and it was kind of a hit, so they are going to
return it. On Friday is mainly when the animal shows are and Saturday the
dairy, cow and goats will be on Friday. The sheep, goats,
swine and cattle are gonna be Saturday starting at nine am. Okay, that'd
be big. Now, I understand that a lot of groups kind of vibe
for a position as to who's going to serve lunch and dinner out there at
the fair They do. We gotta run down here, I do. This
is a big opportunity for a lot of our local organizations to do some fundraising.
And so we always have meals in the north room of the fairground for
lunch and dinner. And I'm going to flip over to our schedule. Thursday,
we'll be Copan Aggies. It'll be chicken fried steak. Lunch is from
eleven to one thirty. Supper is from five to eight o'clock. Oh good,
yes, And while that supper is happening is when the cattle women are
going to do their pie and basket auction. And that's a big deal.
That is a huge deal. We've got one of the cattle women right next
door. She's up one of our neighbors here, Lana, And that's a
that's a big to do. It is a big to do and a fun
to do. We've got the next night, okay, Friday is the four
eh Parent Volunteer Association. So that all the proceeds go back to our Washington
County four. Each group, their lunch will be chicken noodles from eleven to
one thirty and supper is going to be from five to eight and they're gonna
be serving meat loaf with all the fixings. What do we have on Saturday
Saturday is Barnetal Indian Women's Club with Indian tacos and fried bread. So eleven
to three, come get your Indian taco. And they use that money too
for like scholarships, so they're always working, always come back and for the
community. Yeah, we have something on Saturday nights pretty special as well.
We do the Fairboard's going to have a barbecue identic. This is the first
ever and so we just wanted to extend our fair a little bit longer and
give the community a chance to come out and support the Free Fair. So
it'll be a barbecue dinner and Kevin, I think you would we need to
bring an extra bib baby, some towelet's you know, I'll probably be serving

said, go find something it's fair. So okay, while I open the
door, Bang, there it is dog. No. I'm at that age
where I have to watch everything and write down everything I consume these days.
But I will glad they watch other people. I have fun. Yeah,
I came out and did that. We did Facebook live on that last year.
There. It's going to be a timer. Fifteen minutes. Good because
my phone almost ran out of film. So I believe it's the first fifteen
people to enter five dollars to enter, the first person to eat fifteen hot
dogs or the most in fifteen minutes is the winner. Winner takes all,
okay, take takes all out the sheltered Yes, who's providing the meat?
Rainy's Custom Butchering is going to provide the meat, and Survivals and safe Rooms
are going to provide the buns for us this year. All right, Well,
