Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome walk.
Speaker 1: I mean it's time now for our community connection right
Speaker 1: here on Kay one, the one you trust. We have
Speaker 1: our friends in from SunFest today. We have a tree
Speaker 1: stump and at Tina Knight in here and it is great.
Speaker 1: It's like a like a family reunion, so to speak.
Speaker 2: How's everybody doing.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Misterine, I'm doing fantastic. Getting excited. We're
Speaker 3: almost there. Some fest is coming, Trey.
Speaker 2: I know you get just a little bit excited about this.
Speaker 4: I do. Yeah, Man, to be honest with you, I
Speaker 4: can't believe it's already that time again. It just seems
Speaker 4: like it's one year after the other. Here we are again.
Speaker 5: It's really flown by.
Speaker 4: Yeah, less than a year, right, well.
Speaker 5: It takes all year for us to prep for.
Speaker 4: You pretty much. Yeah, three days last.
Speaker 1: Year, you know, Trey, I was talking to Tina about
Speaker 1: this and Tina probably got this right off the top
Speaker 1: of our head. But last year our marketplace just went
Speaker 1: ka boom. It was probably one of the more talked
Speaker 1: about marketplaces we've had over the years.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, it was very exciting and Robin and I
Speaker 3: love doing this. This is probably one of the fun
Speaker 3: things that we do all year long is prep for
Speaker 3: this marketplace. And we said we wanted to grow a
Speaker 3: little bigger and we did, and I'm telling you.
Speaker 5: It really filled that whole area up.
Speaker 3: We actually took over some other areas and this year
Speaker 3: we're taking over a few more areas.
Speaker 2: Good thing we got played in real estate out there.
Speaker 5: The look on Charles's face was interesting when I said
Speaker 5: I need more land.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, you know the land rush was on.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: This is great because we had a lot of people
Speaker 1: who decided to come out for some beautiful weather, some
Speaker 1: beautiful sunshiny weather, great music, and great arts and crafts,
Speaker 1: and the quality sold itself.
Speaker 3: It really did. Maria Guess provided some information for us.
Speaker 3: She got that tracktor thing, yes, and it's fabulous. We
Speaker 3: saw over thirty thousand people over the three day period.
Speaker 3: Is that not just amazing? I was like blown away
Speaker 3: by the numbers. And thank you Maria for sharing that
Speaker 3: information with us, because it really does help. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: over thirty thousand people over the three day period.
Speaker 1: That's pretty darn good, now, Trey. We saw a lot
Speaker 1: of people not only doing a little shopping.
Speaker 2: They did a lot of shopping.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but they were hanging around the food trucks
Speaker 1: and they were hanging around the main stage because it
Speaker 1: was first based on music being a music festival. Now
Speaker 1: that stage, I got to tell you, that's rather iconic.
Speaker 1: How long has that been around?
Speaker 4: So man, the main stage itself, you know, I was
Speaker 4: just thinking about this morning. I know it's been and
Speaker 4: it's that location in the pro the pavilion there since
Speaker 4: the mid nineties. But as far as music is concerned,
Speaker 4: I believe they've been having some kind of music since
Speaker 4: it's started. Night two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is great.
Speaker 1: And you know, people I shared some pictures of my band,
Speaker 1: the Sons of Beaches sun Is in the Sky Beaches
Speaker 1: by the seas. I only be thinking that, you know,
Speaker 1: we're doing something silly here. But anyway, they said, wow,
Speaker 1: is that your stage? I said, no, it's not our.
Speaker 1: That SunFest. They were our hosts and Bike Gully. They
Speaker 1: got a great stage and Donnie Wood is one of
Speaker 1: the guys that takes care of our sound as well
Speaker 1: as you and a few others.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's gonna be a few others that will do
Speaker 4: our this year, and so we're excited about that. This
Speaker 4: year Our sound company is Braiden Frederick with Unity Productions.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know Biden well. I I'll be working with
Speaker 1: him out it the University.
Speaker 4: Here next week for very nice Guy.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: But the stage itself is awesome. You think that you're
Speaker 1: you're playing one of the big shows out there at
Speaker 1: the big stadiums when you get on there, and if
Speaker 1: you're a person who's sitting out there in the audience,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of seating, plenty of room for the kids
Speaker 1: to run around and play dance if you want to.
Speaker 1: And that's one thing I like about Sooner Park in
Speaker 1: the setting for SunFest. There's plenty of space. There could
Speaker 1: be a big crowd out there, but you're going to
Speaker 1: get claustrophobic.
Speaker 5: No, no, not at all.
Speaker 3: There's plenty of room out there for people to come
Speaker 3: out with their chairs and get a little food and
Speaker 3: listen to the music.
Speaker 5: It's just beautiful. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: Car show this year, yes there is.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a car show. We just saw the
Speaker 3: artwork and it's gorgeous. I'm really looking forward to this
Speaker 3: year's car show.
Speaker 1: My goodness sake, it's growing, So Trey, how much does
Speaker 1: it cost for me to buy a ticket.
Speaker 4: Uh, the admission is free today.
Speaker 2: My favorite Pride.
Speaker 3: That's right, free admission just so we can talk about
Speaker 3: Hometown Heroes. That is this year's theme. Wow, at Hometown Heroes,
Speaker 3: we're gonna, you know, shout out to our firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses,
Speaker 3: our military and say thank you for all that they
Speaker 3: do for our community.
Speaker 1: You just made my choice of guitars for the show
Speaker 1: by telling me the theme nineteen guitars to use. I'm
Speaker 1: using the red, white and bluid.
Speaker 3: Awesome. Awesome, that's perfect. Yeah, that's wonderful. Yeah. I guess
Speaker 3: this is one of those ideas that been kicked around
Speaker 3: for a while. This is only my third year participating
Speaker 3: as a volunteer, and but I guess they've been wanting
Speaker 3: to do this for a while now, this hometown theme
Speaker 3: and our hero I'm sorry, hometown Europe as a theme,
Speaker 3: and I'm loving the artwork that's coming out, and it's
Speaker 3: just I mean, all the way around, you know, this
Speaker 3: is this is SunFest way getting back to the community,
Speaker 3: and you know, everybody that participates, we're all volunteers. You know,
Speaker 3: It's just something that I guess, raising my kids here
Speaker 3: in Barbersville, you know, is what you know made me
Speaker 3: love you know, everything about this community and just being
Speaker 3: able to get back is a wonderful thing to do.
Speaker 3: And the looks on kids's face when you see them
Speaker 3: and they show up and I've seen them, watch the movies.
Speaker 3: I've seen them and watch them bands played, kid Fest,
Speaker 3: youth Fest, low Fest, which.
Speaker 4: That's back too.
Speaker 5: It is back.
Speaker 3: And I know it's you know, them just getting all
Speaker 3: that color all over them.
Speaker 5: But it's such a fun thing. They love it.
Speaker 3: They just there dancing out there, They're they're getting that
Speaker 3: paint all over there and they're having a blast doing it.
Speaker 5: It's all about oh yeah, it's all about having fun.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The kid Fast part is just as important as the
Speaker 1: fest itself because this is where the little people feel
Speaker 1: like they're included.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 4: That's right, exactly.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot a lot of center around the
Speaker 3: youth in our community.
Speaker 1: Now when we talk about our our SunFest here, it's
Speaker 1: easy to get excited for it because it's the kickoff
Speaker 1: of summer, right.
Speaker 2: Right, yes, it is, it has been for years.
Speaker 4: Absolute. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, now I understand we've got some.

Speaker 4: every time I walk into the even the entertainment trailer
Speaker 4: of how nice it is in there.
Speaker 2: We get spoiled, Tina.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. They put out this thing. It's like
Speaker 1: a big motor coach, and once you go in, it's
Speaker 1: not a motor coach. It's somebody's home.
Speaker 5: You don't want that. Yeah, go out there.
Speaker 3: He's Smoky Malasky. I know he's out there. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a wonderful place. And then you know we have camping
Speaker 3: out there too, You bet you do.
Speaker 2: It's the one of the few times of the year
Speaker 2: you can really camp in the park. Yeah, get away
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 5: Absolutely right.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not at the park, but they do. They
Speaker 3: bring in those motor homes. That motor home, and I
Speaker 3: hear it's I have been in it. I need to
Speaker 3: go and check it out.
Speaker 1: You do, Now, how do we get a hold of
Speaker 1: you for like a vendor or someone who knows a
Speaker 1: vendor who'd like to perhaps be seen by thirty thousand
Speaker 1: eyes with money?

Speaker 3: Of course, we always invite our marketplace people that participated
Speaker 3: back first, and then we opened it up to everybody else.
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to have to shut it
Speaker 3: down in the first week that popular that it was,
Speaker 3: it was so inundated, it just really spun Robin and I.
Speaker 5: It was like, wow, this is like taking awe.
Speaker 1: Now this is something that I heard. Guys, you can
Speaker 1: verify this or tell me I'm just pull of baloney.
Speaker 1: But of the people who set up shop there immediately after,
Speaker 1: they were asking if they could put up a second
Speaker 1: or a third tap tube.
Speaker 5: Correct, some of them were. Some were asking if they
Speaker 5: could have more this year.
Speaker 3: Though, when the applications came in, people who were just
Speaker 3: like one did multiples.
Speaker 5: So it tells us that, you know, it was very
Speaker 5: successful for them.
Speaker 3: And that's what I love to hear is when a
Speaker 3: vendor can tell us that they were successful and they
Speaker 3: had a great time and they enjoyed the event. Robin
Speaker 3: and I walk around, try to talk to all our vendors,
Speaker 3: make sure they're comfortable, and be there for them.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: One of the things that I like about it is
Speaker 2: that nobody gets tired of Sooner Park. Now, Trey, you've
Speaker 2: been trapesing through there since your kid.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and there's plenty of things for the children
Speaker 1: to do with the playground equipment a lot.

Speaker 5: You were just saying something about your band.
Speaker 1: We were birthed on stage, yes, because I originally signed
Speaker 1: up to be a solo artist, and then I asked, said,
Speaker 1: can I bring a fellow along to a company? He
Speaker 1: said yeah, I said, Trey, Suddenly we're a band now.
Speaker 1: He said, well, how many?
Speaker 2: Just three?
Speaker 1: He said, we can fit three people on stage, no problem,
Speaker 1: and they could. They can actually probably fit thirty three
Speaker 1: at stage. And my best one of my best friends,
Speaker 1: Joseph Glaud is a just a world class recording artist,
Speaker 1: and he put it all together.
Speaker 2: And we didn't meet our drummer until the day of
Speaker 2: the show. Wow, and we went on.
Speaker 1: We were a little shaky. We went on and we
Speaker 1: did pretty good, good enough to be back. And now
Speaker 1: we're having our birthday, which is going to be first
Speaker 1: on stage twelve thirty at Sunfast, and we've added an
Speaker 1: extra member of our band a young lady named Alice.
Speaker 1: She's from the Ukraine and she plays a variety of
Speaker 1: different instruments.
Speaker 2: And I was telling you guys.
Speaker 1: Earlier she sings like she's from California. She plays an
Speaker 1: instrument like she's just wailing it from New Orleans. But
Speaker 1: when she talks, right off the bus and right off
Speaker 1: the boat. But she is incredible. She's bringing a lot
Speaker 1: of influences from Europe into your music, and she integrates
Speaker 1: it with the Tulsa sound.
Speaker 2: She felt this.
Speaker 1: This is the reason she came to our area is
Speaker 1: because she fell in love with the Tulsa sound. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we've got all kinds of entertainers.
Speaker 2: Coming from all over the place. Some of the other
Speaker 2: tell us the folks who are better than usaid are
Speaker 2: going to be playing.
Speaker 4: Oh man, well see this is I feel like we

Speaker 4: does love rob She's really cool if you like Jennis Joplin.
Speaker 4: I think she plays some of the black Crows and
Speaker 4: uh CCR.

Speaker 1: Robbie and I and her husband are Fred. He's a
Speaker 1: doctor and he just has fun because he does her sound.
Speaker 1: But anyway, she was with the band called.
Speaker 4: The Predators Okay, that's okay.
Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, man, And then she taught herself

Speaker 5: I want this entire section here place. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do this every year my family ever since
Speaker 1: we've been here. We've just been blown away by it.
Speaker 1: And we were convinced that the little town of Bartleville
Speaker 1: over punches its weight, kind of like that little boxer
Speaker 1: that takes on the big boxer and wins. And it
Speaker 1: shows a lot about the character of our community. Also
Speaker 1: also a lot of it says a lot about the
Speaker 1: whole region of northeast Oklahoma in southeast Kansas.
Speaker 2: When you come here and you know what, there's no
Speaker 2: trouble no alcohol. I like that.
Speaker 4: That's right, you're right about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have trouble as they say, that's.
Speaker 5: Right, we don't have those things.
Speaker 1: One thing I like about it too, is people have
Speaker 1: a tendency to pick up after themselves.
Speaker 2: So it's really clear, Yeah it is.
Speaker 4: We want to thank the boy Scout Troop too for
Speaker 4: really helping us out. They put the main stage up,
Speaker 4: they go around taking trash, They do a lot of things.
Speaker 5: They really do.
Speaker 3: They pitch in a lot, they help some of our
Speaker 3: vendors bring in their stock. They just aid in all
Speaker 3: different areas in that park, helping everyone to make this
Speaker 3: a very successful and so we can't thank them enough
Speaker 3: for the job that they do.
Speaker 1: And they save this old man heini, because I was
Speaker 1: lugging lots of amplifiers and guitars and stuff like that
Speaker 1: up the stage.
Speaker 4: Trade goes wait a second, we got help on the way.
Speaker 3: And exact same thing when the marketplace. If we had
Speaker 3: someone come in and was elderly, you know, we could
Speaker 3: just radio and one of them would come running and
Speaker 3: they would help them load everything in and at the
Speaker 3: end they.
Speaker 5: Helped them load it back out again.
Speaker 2: Too.
Speaker 5: It was really wonderful to see.
Speaker 4: We had that park cleared in about two hours last year.
Speaker 4: It really was because everyone else. There's a helping hand everywhere.
Speaker 3: Even some of the vendors were just helping each other.
Speaker 3: I have seen that pack pack up and get them
Speaker 3: into their vehicles and stuff. I mean, really, the community
Speaker 3: comes together on both sides of this. They come in
Speaker 3: and help, they help load out. It's it's just wonderful.
Speaker 1: One improvement of the park. We've got paved parking spots.
Speaker 4: That's right. I've noticed that it's gonna be a game
Speaker 4: changer for us.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: I like how they.
Speaker 1: Those gravel roads were getting kind of tough on it was,
Speaker 1: especially with strollers.
Speaker 5: With their new pickleball court, it kind of took away
Speaker 5: our parking area. That's great. I love the pickleball.
Speaker 2: Right there by the Gulf.
Speaker 4: Yeah, mini golf, tennis courts area all that.
