WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:07.480
All right, I finally found the
right gear. It is now nine to

2
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:13.480
forty six and it's time now for
our community connection. And we have Laurie

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.160
in here with us from Dewey.
And you've got an interesting shirt on.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.640
I have my Tom Mix on.
There go movie star Tom Mixed. We

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.760
got the big old to do up
there and doing. That's right. If

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.839
we have the museum, the Tom
Makes Museum. Yes, indeed, we

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.399
also have the well where Tony the
Horse wants drink from it. It is

8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.840
still there right in kind of the
Dewey Hotel. Go figure, come on

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.439
into doing and you'll see all kinds
of stuff like that. Oh yeah,

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.520
you'll be playing and doing next right, I hope. So there we go.

11
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.560
That was a really great concert.
Awesome to see you up there on

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.119
the stage. Oh thank you,
thank you. Really fun. If the

13
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.240
city of Dewey will have me,
I shall be had. It sounds good

14
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.359
to me. So maybe on the
second Saturday of next month. Because it

15
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.759
was a great turnout this time,
that's what I heard. You guys had

16
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.039
a wonderful crowd. Everybody who's on
the street fun selling hot dogs. We

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.879
had fourteen vendors first off, that
was amazing. Wow, all collected on

18
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.040
that small block. We also had
the hot dog sales from the Friends of

19
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.640
Dewey Parks, which I am part
of, and that was fun. That

20
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.799
was amazing. It was a little
hot outside, so that made the hot

21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.879
dogs stay nice and nice hot.
But we did really well and it was

22
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.239
really fun and exciting to be in
the mix of that. No pun intended,

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.599
gotcha. Then coming up this Saturday
though, we have Travis Miller,

24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.560
the two tall Oakies. He has
his swamp meat. There's not a time.

25
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.760
I don't know. I mean,
I think all the guys that hang

26
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.200
out and do that, they know
the time. Start early, get out

27
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.120
early. That is this June fifteenth, and then the next one will show

28
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.439
up. We'll be coming in November. Oh wow. Hopefully beat the heat

29
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.239
on that one for Travis. Then
we have coming up is the big fourth

30
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.280
of July. We have the fireworks
coming That is on a Thursday, I

31
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.040
believe. Please don't quote me on
that. But you still have time to

32
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.920
where you can buy a duck for
the duck races. It's back. It's

33
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:01.840
on. Well, it was always
gone, but we just didn't know about

34
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.439
the water. And now that we've
had so much water, that you can

35
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.639
go in and you can buy to
go to city hall. Kind of a

36
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.960
black and white people. But it's
my cheat sheet because you can buy one

37
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.599
duck for five bucks, five ducks
for twenty bucks, ten ducks for thirty

38
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.560
bucks. That's a lot of ducks
for just a few bucks. Quack quack,

39
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719
right, But you go to the
city hall and speak with the ladies

40
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.319
up front and they will take care
of that for you. I mean,

41
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.479
made the best man bus duck win
because it'll be really interesting to be the

42
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.759
first one that I will get to
see. Even in the two years I've

43
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.080
been working here, just with the
water sort of, we didn't get to

44
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.080
do it. And don't worry about
bugging the ladies. You won't make them

45
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.159
go quackers. No, please,
do they want you to bug them so

46
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:49.080
they can build up for the fireworks. Or you can also buy a fan

47
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.000
if you want to make a donation. Excuse me, not buy the fan,

48
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.080
but donate and your name will be
on the fan. Their goal is

49
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.159
to raise seven thousand dollars for the
fireworks. We also have live music at

50
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.639
night and then during the fireworks,
and the small sales for probably light up

51
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.039
toys throughout the night. But what
you can do for donations of one hundred

52
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:12.360
dollars or more, you can get
on the super fan side that you want,

53
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.159
and you know, maybe a little
bit less for a donation, you

54
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.280
can still get on the other side
of the fan. So pretty cool to

55
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.919
see your name on that for donations. So that's for the month of July.

56
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.599
We have next week we take of
that fireworks where we hold them.

57
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.479
Oh yes, don Tyler Park courts. Of course, I want to make

58
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.560
sure that's right. Was last year
correct and every year before that? Probably

59
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.639
forgive me, you know me and
my nerves and my awkwardness. You don't

60
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.159
have any awkward go ahead. Well, the other cool things that we broke

61
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.639
around and started the bathrooms for the
new park, the Lines park in downtown.

62
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.400
Are you people buying bricks and this
is where it's starting to pay off.

63
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.960
And hot dogs because we will be
doing selling hot dogs at some of

64
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.439
the main you know, the events
that we can so that will be really

65
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.039
fun too. Help us get that
part going, the best part right now.

66
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.560
I want to toot my own horn. I get to help at the

67
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:08.199
library for a summer reading program.
When we miss Jordan the librarian. It's

68
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.520
three days a week and it spent
four weeks long. Last week we studied

69
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.959
Egypt or went to excuse me,
we visited Egypt. This week we're visiting

70
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.879
Italian or Italy. We've had Italian
pizzas made out of sugar cookie icing and

71
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.800
M andF. And we also did
projects of like leaning Tower Pisa, and

72
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.600
it's just a bunch of facts learning
during the time they have with the kids.

73
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.439
It's so fun. But next week
they're going to South America, and

74
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.279
the last week we're wrapping up of
course in here, good old USA.

75
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.199
It'll be a fun one and I'll
keep posting things on Facebook so everybody can

76
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:44.839
the world from the city of doing
Bye Goodness. Other than that, it's

77
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.839
pretty much all I have, besides
the other things that are amazing coming to

78
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.160
Doy that I can't speak of.
Oh you do this every time, then

79
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.439
we have to keep going back in
next month and you know, shake it

80
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.639
out again. No problem, We
can definitely do that now. These second

81
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.279
Saturday, yes, sir, these
they have been growing. The first one

82
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.759
that folks were like, it's kind
of cool, it's kind of nice.

83
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.199
Second was like a few more people
around here. Third was like, oh

84
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.720
wow, it's here this one.
The word got out for sure, and

85
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.120
then hopefully it just keeps expanding.
That's the way we want to do it,

86
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.439
and hopefully get some lives, live
music, and it'll be a little

87
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.439
warm, you know, for for
July and for August, but it's going

88
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.279
through September, so it'll be really
fun to see how how big we get

89
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.040
in my birthday month. There you
go, a block party for my birthday.

90
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.920
There you go. But these get
together is that we have on the

91
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.600
second Saturday. People will ask what
but what do I do? How do

92
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.439
I do this? What do you
show up? That's really about how much

93
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.279
you show come into doing and start
really do a little walking around. You'll

94
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.160
acclimate. You'll take to it like
a duck to the water gun Tyler Park.

95
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.279
Oh boy, that was that was
a Stretch'll get your ducks in a

96
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.560
row in order to come down.
Of course, if you if you're so

97
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.519
inclined to come back on fourth of
July. You know what City Hall is

98
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.360
right there, right there in the
hard downtown and it's all of Dewey.

99
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.800
Everybody's having sales. You know,
we just we just have you know,

100
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.120
the collective right there for us to
be able to house. You know all

101
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.639
the vendors, but it's all of
Dewey has sales every you know, everywhere

102
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.319
in town. And you know what, it's an easy walk. You park

103
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.920
your car, you take a stroll. It kind of throws you back to

104
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.720
maybe a few decades ago, a
little bit of Mayberry, just a little

105
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.839
bit of you don't need to watch
and you don't need to be looking at

106
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.600
your cell phone. You'll actually be
engaging with people and usually somebody you know,

107
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.079
definitely, likely somebody haven't seen in
a while, definitely, And it's

108
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.399
just a great place to get together
and you do a little commerce and do

109
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.639
a whole lot of visiting and shopping
and shopping, eating and then hanging out

110
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.480
in the park. You got to
do that. You got to wrestle it.

111
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.959
And the park is beautiful and you
can do your park by getting a

112
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.879
break. Don Tyler is all still
ready to go. We're just working on

113
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.079
the one that's downtown. But we
have started those bathrooms, so that'll be

114
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.480
a huge thing too. Yeah,
once those get finished, you know,

115
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.920
more convenience, No, Laurie,
you have a website for the parks and

116
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.399
the folks have been visiting it.
Good. We did that's right. It

117
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.160
is up and going, so you'll
see all any any new business that'll be

118
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.319
on there. Oh this is something
else, you know. Every time we

119
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.279
come in here, you always kind
of lighted up and you tell us a

120
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.199
little bit of something about Doey that
we just didn't know. And for folks

121
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.439
who are new to the area,
and believe me, we have folks moving

122
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.240
in all the time. Yes,
they're coming in from places like New York,

123
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.680
and a lot of them from California, a few from Colorado, but

124
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.079
many of them are Californians. True, they're kind of getting used to the

125
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.480
fact that, yes, we have
movie stars in our area. Tom Mix

126
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.680
of course, King of the Cowboys
he was. And we've got the museum

127
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.240
there, and I kind of want
to brag on that for and that will

128
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.199
and on second Saturdays that they will
definitely be open, the hotel and the

129
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:01.399
museum and pretty much everyone will definitely
focus on open and ready for everybody.

130
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.439
That I grew up in the Tom
Mis Museum. I mean, I Cali

131
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.240
raised, but I got an Oklahoma
brain. I'm half oaky, but my

132
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.360
sisters and I spent the summers right
there in downtown Dewey, and we were

133
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.839
welcomed into the Tom Makes Museum to
watch the movie. They have a small

134
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.879
little movie in their theater, you
do, and we would memorize it and

135
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.240
see who can remember it the next
year, and we lived in that park

136
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:30.040
and then linger longer. The antiques. It was just visiting yesterday and it's

137
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.919
my mom, who's from California.
Las Vegas, absolutely loves that that shop

138
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:41.039
and it was exactly the shape was
divine. I got the magnificent Max yesterday

139
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.320
who made my shape. But it's
just it's I grew up in the middle

140
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.759
of Dewey, so I loved living
there and supporting it now because I think

141
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.440
I was meant to. Indeed,
indeed, when you go to the mixed

142
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.440
theater, a lot of folks will
say, well, look it's kind of

143
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.000
small, wait till you get in. It's it's like one of those opticals

144
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.519
that it is because all of a
sudden, he goes on and on and

145
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.000
on forever, and then you turn
around. You got to come back,

146
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.000
come back, come back, forever. But everything is just so cool to

147
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.480
see. There's a lot of history
mixed in with it. Of course the

148
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.440
show is, but you also get
a snapshot in just virtually every display of

149
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.279
what was going on at in America
at that time. So it's really an

150
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.759
education. Even though Ben's not from
our town, we got Ben Johnson too

151
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.639
that you know, he's part of
that. You see some of that in

152
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679
there, and it's pretty cool to
have that piece of nostalgia and that history

153
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.320
and that you know, right here
in our little town. And I wish

154
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.000
that everybody will definitely love it as
much as I do. And we model

155
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.120
history for me there. And when
you're walking around shopping and stuff like that,

156
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.159
stop by the Dewey Hotel team does
he still have a little stars?

157
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.039
Yeah they can. I'll ask mister
Sears about that. Hey, those guys

158
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.279
can tell you a story and give
me some history. Yeah, start around

159
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.480
the hotel, walking around. Then
you go to the tom Mix, which

160
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.000
is a little bit smaller. I'm
a more homie. But then you can

161
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.399
sit in the theater in a nice
cool theater, take a break, and

162
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.600
then head back out, go shopping, get something to eat to say,

163
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.799
you know us, we had a
good time, and Doey, we're coming

164
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.720
back, I hope, so I'll
be waiting. That's the formula for success,

165
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.000
right there, you folks. Something
to do something to eat, and

166
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.279
the reason to come back and a
cool place to sit for cool place to

167
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:18.399
sit in great parks absolutely brooms.
All right, well, I want to

168
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.919
thank you for coming in as always, and of course do it right straight

169
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.559
up the road. One twenty three
and a little bit if you want to

170
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.799
go on. Seventy five runs right
through town there too. What is that

171
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.559
osage that it winds up at being
if you take a seventy five into town.

172
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.559
We're still Washington, yeah, little
little towards the west. All right,

173
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.000
right now, we've got the news
coming up in just a moment.

174
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.879
Stay tuned. We're going to have
a check of your weather as well.

175
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.759
All right here on K one,
the one you try. Thanks for listening to one
