Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's
Speaker 1: time now for a community connection right here on Gay one,
Speaker 1: the one you trust. It's hotter than firecrackers. But it's
Speaker 1: past and fourth in July, so I guess that means
Speaker 1: we've got red hot bargains of popping at the doing
Speaker 1: fairgrounds with our auction.
Speaker 2: How are we doing, ladies, We are great. This is
Speaker 2: our favorite time of the year. Tina and I are
Speaker 2: doing a really tough job right now. What you're doing shopping.
Speaker 1: Right? Goodness.
Speaker 3: We get to go to our advertisers and greet them
Speaker 3: and see them and just enjoy visiting with them and
Speaker 3: buy new stuff to be able to sell at the auction.
Speaker 1: How many have we been doing this?
Speaker 3: Oh, you know what, I don't want to say how
Speaker 3: many auctions I've done?
Speaker 2: It really dates me.
Speaker 3: Okay, we've been doing it here in Bartlesville, like twenty
Speaker 3: six seven eight years, twenty eight years maybe, well twenty
Speaker 3: seven eight years, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jorg and I started doing radio when we were kids.
Speaker 3: Well I truly did this when I was in high school.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm sixty six. Yeah, so I've been doing this,
Speaker 3: so I did it in Iowa. I've done it in Illinois,
Speaker 3: and I've done it in Oklahoma. And actually some years
Speaker 3: I did it in Iowa and Oklahoma the same time.
Speaker 3: And then we've added Kansas too, so we're now doing
Speaker 3: it in Kansas. No, but you know what they get.
Speaker 3: I just look so much forward to it. So, somebody,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about with the radio station. We
Speaker 3: do an annual auction and we go to our advertisers
Speaker 3: and we buy gift certificates or brand new items or
Speaker 3: like if it's an antique store, of course is not
Speaker 3: going to be brand new, but with things that we
Speaker 3: really like, things we really like, and then we bring
Speaker 3: them all out to the Washington County Fairgrounds, Dewey Fairgrounds,
Speaker 3: Washington County Fairgrounds the last Saturday of July, which the
Speaker 3: last Saturday of July this time happens to be July
Speaker 3: twenty sixth, and so we'll be we'll be there starting
Speaker 3: the doors will open at eight o'clock. At nine o'clock
Speaker 3: the auctional start, and we'll be selling all this brand
Speaker 3: new merchandise and gift certificates. And the thing about it
Speaker 3: is you can't pay more than eighty percent of the
Speaker 3: retail price. So when you come, you know you're going
Speaker 3: to get a bargain. You're going to save at least
Speaker 3: twenty percent. But it's an auction, so you set the
Speaker 3: price you know you might pay. Some things go for
Speaker 3: twenty thirty, forty fifty percent, you know whatever too. Brand new.
Speaker 3: The warranties are all available, you know, on the things
Speaker 3: that you get. We're buying them all at local businesses
Speaker 3: who you know, you can trust, you can go back to.
Speaker 3: You know, they want you to come back into the
Speaker 3: store and fill out the warranty information or to ask
Speaker 3: them about how it works, or.
Speaker 2: You know, things like this.
Speaker 3: They that's the whole idea is for you to see
Speaker 3: maybe items that you didn't realize were available here in
Speaker 3: our community. And so you can do that and you
Speaker 3: can get a savings too. When people do come to
Speaker 3: come walk in the door, they're going to see us
Speaker 3: will greet them right away. And you need to get
Speaker 3: a number. There's no charge for the numbers. You just
Speaker 3: get a number. That number is what will be your
Speaker 3: bidding number. And so when you bid on something, you'll
Speaker 3: hold it up and you get it, they'll put your
Speaker 3: number down.
Speaker 2: Don't do it by names. Do it by number.
Speaker 3: Also, those numbers are good for door prices. We'll be
Speaker 3: giving out door prices throughout the whole auction as well,
Speaker 3: so those numbers are good for door prizes and all.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 2: The neat thing.
Speaker 3: About it is again we've got a lot of gift certificates,
Speaker 3: and so you know, you can look ahead of time.
Speaker 3: We're going to have a wall that will have listed
Speaker 3: all the different gift certificates on it because you can
Speaker 3: go look at.
Speaker 2: The items at the tables.
Speaker 3: The tables will be spread out throughout the back of the.
Speaker 2: Fairgrounds and you can look at all the items.
Speaker 3: It'll have a tag on it that says where the
Speaker 3: items from, It'll say what the retail price is, it'll
Speaker 3: say what the eighty percent price is. So you know,
Speaker 3: as much as you can possibly play, you can look
Speaker 3: at all those items. But what about the gift certificates.
Speaker 3: You can't, you know, go flipping through our gift certificates.
Speaker 3: So we've got a big wall that has all this
Speaker 3: information on it. And for instance, we'll have a lot
Speaker 3: of things from Branson or Kansas City Zoo or River
Speaker 3: Sport and Oklahoma City, a lot of fun places that
Speaker 3: you can go a lot of people plan their vacations
Speaker 3: after the auction because they come and they get the
Speaker 3: passes for all these things at the auction, and then
Speaker 3: they go in August to all these places. But anyway,
Speaker 3: we'll we'll have a board that lists all that. It'll
Speaker 3: say again the same thing, what the gift certificate is,
Speaker 3: It'll say the retail price, it'll say the eighty percent price.
Speaker 3: It'll also say if there's an expiration date on it.
Speaker 3: For instance, the attractions that Branson go through, most of
Speaker 3: them through the end of the year, some of them
Speaker 3: just go through the fall, you know, it'll say whatever
Speaker 3: the expiration is, so that you know that. Also, Miss
Speaker 3: Tina here, our wonderful promotions director, makes a poster for
Speaker 3: each of these items, and so say it's a Branson
Speaker 3: show and they only go at two o'clock in the
Speaker 3: afternoon Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She's going to have that
Speaker 3: on the poster right beside it so you can see.
Speaker 3: So if you know you're going on a weekend, you're
Speaker 3: not going to end up buying a voucher for a
Speaker 3: show that only goes during the weekdays, you know, or
Speaker 3: things like this. So come early so that you can
Speaker 3: scan that gift certificate board, you know, I mean a
Speaker 3: lot of the gifts are like Dink's gift cards. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's pretty self explanatory. You know, we don't have to
Speaker 3: have a poster for that. You know what you're going
Speaker 3: to get at Dinks. And you know, if it's a
Speaker 3: twenty dollars gift card that you're going to like pay
Speaker 3: sixteen dollars for, it is the max that you can pay.
Speaker 3: You know, that type of thing, or Looking Sharp or
Speaker 3: gas cards, the kickback cards, you know, all kinds of
Speaker 3: great gift certificates and stuff are going to be on
Speaker 3: that board. But new this year, we're adding something different.
Speaker 3: So if you've been to the auction before and say, oh,
Speaker 3: I know how that works, no big deal or whatever,
Speaker 3: we're throwing something new at you. Because one thing we've
Speaker 3: discovered is that we sometimes have a lot of smaller
Speaker 3: items that take just as much time to auction off
Speaker 3: as and as the large items, you know, And so
Speaker 3: we're going to have a silent auction table this year,
Speaker 3: and we're going to put some of the small items
Speaker 3: like the candles or the vitamins or you know, things
Speaker 3: like this that are that are smaller that really, we
Speaker 3: don't need to take several minutes auctioning off when you
Speaker 3: know some.
Speaker 2: Specifically somebody just wants that.
Speaker 3: So we're going to have a silent, silent auction table
Speaker 3: and we're going to set it up at eight thirty
Speaker 3: and so you can start looking at it and signing
Speaker 3: up for what you might want. Again, you're going to
Speaker 3: put your number on it. You're not gonna put your
Speaker 3: name on it. Number and what price that you'd like
Speaker 3: to bid. You got to be dollar incure rents. We're
Speaker 3: not going to go in a lot of pennies and
Speaker 3: things like that on the silent auction table. But you
Speaker 3: can go ahead and bid on it. And at eleven
Speaker 3: o'clock we're going to cut it off. Now, if someone
Speaker 3: goes up to the silent auction table and they says,
Speaker 3: they say, I wis want to pay the eighty percent
Speaker 3: and I'll take it, We're going to have a person
Speaker 3: standing there at the table and the eighty percent is taken,
Speaker 3: it's off the table. Then you get to cash and
Speaker 3: carry it, you know type of thing and stuff and
Speaker 3: be done. And that that little item has now not
Speaker 3: taken all the time for the auction. I mentioned the
Speaker 3: eighty percent on the silent auction table. Also, if the
Speaker 3: big items they're going in the live auction, if you say,
Speaker 3: you know, we've got that recliner there or that mattress
Speaker 3: and stuff, and I really really want it, and you
Speaker 3: know that eighty percent is still a really good price
Speaker 3: for it, you can go ahead and just say maximum bid,
Speaker 3: you know, or we on the card. Everybody has the
Speaker 3: number cards and as people put max on the back
Speaker 3: of it and things, max bid and if you want
Speaker 3: to max bid that take it at the eighty percent.
Speaker 3: We don't need to go through the auction bidding of
Speaker 3: you know, through all the way to get there, and
Speaker 3: then you might not get it either, so somebody else
Speaker 3: might get it. So if you just if you really
Speaker 3: want that for the max bid. That's kind of a
Speaker 3: unique thing about our auction too. So you can tell
Speaker 3: we've we've done this before. We've had lots of fun
Speaker 3: with it. Our staff is there helping out. You.
Speaker 2: Guys will be at the tables doing things.
Speaker 3: They'll be handing out the prizes or the items as
Speaker 3: people buy them. So you have a chance to see
Speaker 3: all our staff and visit with them as well. So
Speaker 3: we try and make it a really fun time again.
Speaker 3: Doors open at eight, come early, look over everything, look
Speaker 3: over the items, look over the gift certificate board, look
Speaker 3: over the silent auction table, and kind of be prepared
Speaker 3: for it and have lots of fun stuff.

Speaker 4: Candle Shop and they have a vendor in there that
Speaker 4: does the woodworking, and one of them is a little
Speaker 4: side table. It's Tiger Babel. It's absolutely beautiful and it
Speaker 4: has like a thirty five thirty six according to my
Speaker 4: brother Ford pick up on on.

Speaker 3: Was that little reading chair.
Speaker 5: For a reading chair.

Speaker 4: the reading table and it's got a drawer you can
Speaker 4: put all the books in it.
Speaker 5: And the fabric is Pooh Bear.
Speaker 4: But I think you could probably make a different pillow
Speaker 4: and they're change it out for each kid.
Speaker 3: Or tell them what we got at Michael's Carpet and
Speaker 3: Sleep Center. A love, love love this.
Speaker 4: So we've got the serta twenty fifth birthday mattress and
Speaker 4: it has a little sheep on it.
Speaker 5: And if you buy the mattress, you get the little
Speaker 5: stuff sheep.
Speaker 4: There's a little stuff sheep that goes with it, and
Speaker 4: it's so cute, those little counting sheep, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it all goes with their advertising.
Speaker 3: For twenty five years, they've been doing the little sheep
Speaker 3: as they're advertising logo or their their kind of mascot
Speaker 3: or whatever. So this is this is on the mattress.
