00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>well with this year with the Greater Bartleville Area Chamber

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're doing great, good, wonderful.

8
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Now we've had Christmas at the Bill and that's a

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>people skating.

10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>In the fog and that, oh my god, that had

11
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to be kind of cool. Community is a killer. But yeah,

12
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fog, but it makes it fun because

13
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>the lights are on.

14
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it kind of looks kind of cool.

15
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it does, got that. Yeah, yeah, no, it's been good.

16
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>We open November thirtieth. We have down to five day

17
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>well technically six, but it looks like Sunday maybe kind

18
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of a if you look at the weather forecast, I

19
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know that we're going to open on Sunday, but yeah,

20
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>it's looking kind of dicey. But anyhow, Saturday will be

21
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>open today, Tuesday through Saturday, and it's five days left

22
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>to enjoy ice skating. So people say they want, you know,

23
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>something different, to do. They want fun things and for

24
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>the kids to do. So this is an opportunity. It's short,

25
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>but it's here and if you want take advantage of it.

26
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, there's five days left.

27
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, our local businesses have been the beneficiaries

28
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of the visitors coming into town and

29
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks coming to downtown in particular, they

30
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 1>would say, well, I didn't know that was there.

31
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it is several news stores downtown, which is fun.

32
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 2>So they've been discovered and there's definitely one of the

33
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 2>reasons we do it is to bring people downtown, showcase

34
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>downtown that's so pretty, especially at Christmas especial if you

35
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>take one of those carriages. The carriage rides are just

36
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>so they do a beautiful job with the horses. The

37
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>carriages are absolutely gorgeous. They are a wonderful family to

38
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 2>work with. And then just all the lights and everything.

39
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's one of the reasons, like I said, we did,

40
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>is to showcase our downtown and to bring people downtown.

41
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 2>If they come downtown, more than likely they're gonna stop

42
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 2>and eat, They're gonna coupley shops, so at least even

43
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>getting a snack so I can't. I don't have a

44
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>next next month, I will definitely have numbers and reports.

45
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes we haven't really, I do know opening night we

46
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>had about two thousand downtown during that three hour time span.

47
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>So Opening Night was great. And then conco Phillips redoes

48
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>our opening night basically, and then some that following Monday,

49
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>so we open Saturday. Then they have their private party

50
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>on Monday, so they probably had that many down there too.

51
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, uh so, lots of lots of fun. This

52
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>time of year is just it's I always say, it's

53
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of magical. So and the weather's been great, I

54
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>cannot complain. Now, yesterday was a little a little warm.

55
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It got to sixty four, so we were out for

56
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 2>about two and a half hours, three hours. We were

57
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>just all we were doing was serve pro Leaves us

58
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 2>a set of their equipment, which is so nice of them,

59
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>and we were just constantly shoving water and and somebody

60
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>else was kind of sucking it up and we made it.

61
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Some kids got wet. If you fail, you got a

62
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>little wet. But it was I mean the ice was nice,

63
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was beautiful, so just a little on

64
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the wet side, but I don't have to worry about that.

65
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the week. It will be nice and

66
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>chili as it should be. It is the end of December.

67
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>You're at an ice rink, so it should be kind

68
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>of kind of chili. Just put on your winter coat,

69
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>don't show up in your shorts. Teenagers, And that happened.

70
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh lord, Yes, it's like the colder it gets some

71
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>more shorts, you see. And then in the summertime. I

72
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>just don't understand. Then in the summer time you see

73
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 2>him walking around with hoodies and sweatpants on. So it's

74
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>like whatever, it's it's on them. If they want to

75
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>get wet and cold, I'm whatever, but it is. You know,

76
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>it is gonna be a little more chili. So just

77
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>put on your winter coat and on a hat and

78
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>bundle them up and come out and have some fun.

79
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>Like I always say, frosty phone on the ice.

80
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>So there we go. Now we've got a lot of

81
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 1>things cooking as we head into the new year.

82
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 2>My goodness, we do. We've got you know, the marink

83
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>will be behind us on like I said, probably January fourth, Saturday,

84
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and then then we just have to wait for it

85
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>to melt, which of course we're hitting the deep freeze.

86
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's time to melt anyhow. But then we'll

87
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>be back to all our regular chamber programming and events

88
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of thing. We do have a good

89
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>one coming up in January. Our Women in Business will

90
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>get back going January sixteenth, we have Christine Belner and

91
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be on elevating and celebrating your team,

92
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>how to that camaraderie and just like I said, how

93
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to how to elevate and celebrate your team, different ideas

94
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>and things. So she's such a good speaker and I

95
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>think she'll be really be a really good program, So

96
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>mark your calendars for that. It's at Hillcrest Country Club,

97
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, it's January the sixteenth, it's a Wednesday,

98
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's just a great time for the women to network,

99
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to know each other, make new business contacts. And then

100
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 2>we always have, like I said, a speaker of some sort.

101
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Sometime it's a professional topic, sometimes it's a more personal topic.

102
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 2>This one obviously is more on the professional business side,

103
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>but we're looking forward to that. And then we also

104
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>have on January twenty first, we have speed Networking and

105
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 2>that's always a fun event. It's small by design, it's

106
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>held well, hopefully, hopefully it'll be held at the chamber.

107
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I was just thinking about that our conference room that

108
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>we normally hold all our things in may still be

109
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 2>full of Christmas depending how slowly the rink melts the tree. Yeah,

110
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.759
<v Speaker 2>because we can't move everything into the skate hut until

111
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>we can move you know, it's like Domino setting up

112
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and tearing down. The rink has to be gone before

113
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>we can move the skate hut, which is where we

114
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>store so much of our things. And so anyhow, at

115
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>any rate, we will have speed networking somewhere somewhere, and

116
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 2>that is just a fun event. I always tell people,

117
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're more of an introvert, this is a great event.

118
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>If you don't like walking into a room full of people.

119
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>This is smaller by design, and everybody just goes around

120
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 2>the room and everybody says they're what I say, elevator speech.

121
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Let people know who you are, what you do as

122
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>a company, what your business is. And by the end

123
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of the afternoon, it's from four to five. It's good,

124
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a great way to injured day. People are laughing and

125
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 2>they're making great contacts or some really good stories. That

126
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>have come from that, connections that have been made. So

127
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that's a fun event. It's free for our members and

128
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 2>we just encourage you have to register. We try to

129
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>limit it to one per industry. We don't want a

130
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>room full of the same you know, a bunch of

131
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>realtors or bankers or you know, all of the same industries,

132
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 2>so we try to limit it to one per industry.

133
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>So that is coming up on January twenty. First.

134
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>That started out as a fun little thing. Now it's

135
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>sort of grown legs. This is why two or three

136
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 1>years down the road.

137
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Now, yeah, I don't know my years. I'll go together two, three, four,

138
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sir.

139
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, do you remember when it started out?

140
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it has, and it's it's a popular event. And

141
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 2>like I said, it's small, there's usually no more than twenty.

142
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's manageable. It's manageable. You're able to get

143
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>in and out within that hour. Now sometimes they do

144
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>linger and but that's you know on them. It's it's

145
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 2>that you can get in and out and be home,

146
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, be done by five. So, like I said,

147
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a fun wein in your day. So and then

148
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>we also have on January twenty ninth, which will be

149
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>here before we know. At the end of the month

150
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>months fly by is our hot topic series will kick

151
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 2>back up and I should have grabbed what our topic

152
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>was going to be, and now I can't remember, but

153
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it's okay.

154
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>It will be a good one we can get that

155
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 1>invites people to go to the website and see what's there.

156
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 2>That's right, go to our website Bartlesville dot com. You're

157
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 2>so good with that, Bartlesville dot com, and it'll have

158
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>all our events on their different programming. It's also has

159
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 2>really good information if you just kind of want to

160
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>check out the chamber, you're like, well, I've heard of

161
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 2>chambers of commerce, but I don't really know what exactly

162
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>they do, what's their mission? What you know, what are

163
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 2>they about? And it's a great way to check it

164
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>out without feeling like somebody's trying to get you to

165
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 2>join or anything. We do have about seven hundred and

166
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty members, and they're anywhere from one person businesses to

167
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>obviously big corporate businesses, and it just we're representative of

168
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 2>all those businesses. In fact, we're getting ready to kick off,

169
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, the legislative session in February, and that's when

170
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.279
<v Speaker 2>we really step it up as far as communications with

171
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>our members as watching bills that pertain to business how

172
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>it can affect them. It's a great little summary and

173
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 2>we send out a weekly email kind of summarizes what's

174
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 2>happening in the in the state legislature because that's really

175
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>what's going to affect your business. And so a lot

176
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>of things coming up in February in regards to public

177
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>policy and that kind of thing.

178
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>So very good.

179
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Anyhow, that's what's going on in the chamber. Wow, that's

180
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

181
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And you still have to, you know, take that down.

182
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>But pray for some warm weather please, just a few

183
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 2>sixty degree days, even fifty degree days does wonders and melting.

184
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>That would be great. But I got to tell you,

185
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, hats off to you and your group and

186
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>all the other sponsors and volunteers. This looks like it's

187
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:03.559
<v Speaker 1>been an a very successful Christmas in the Ville and

188
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>almost a very successful year for the Chamber on the whole.

189
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It has been. We've had a really good year chamber

190
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>wise Christmas in the Ville, I mean weather wise, this

191
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>is the first year I don't think we've we have

192
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 2>not we've had no closure is due to weather. Like

193
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I said, I think Sunday may not happen, but yeah

194
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>it did. And but then it's kind of might be snowy.

195
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. But and then it was showing eyes,

196
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. We'll play about ear. It always changes.

197
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a week away or almost a week away. Oklahoma,

198
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>it's Oklahoma. It may be sixty Sunday, who knows. But uh, yeah,

199
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the first year, like I said, that, we have not

200
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>had to close because of weather and lose a day

201
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 2>or two. There's a few days it was a little misty,

202
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>but people were still out. I mean I was impact.

203
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 2>But that's always been nice. Uh, it's been it's been enjoyable.

204
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not where it's so crowded that you cannot hardly move.

205
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Every time I look, I can look it up on

206
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>my phone. There's a camera and you know, I can

207
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>see the rink and it's it's people are just being

208
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.720
<v Speaker 2>able to scale and enjoy and have a good time.

209
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So it has been a good season. And it is,

210
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>like you said, big things because this would not happen

211
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>without sponsors, and we have I'm not even going to

212
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 2>start to name them, but you know, all the usual sprespects,

213
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>but then some that are just independently owned people company

214
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 2>we did and that's fun to see them support, you know,

215
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.600
<v Speaker 2>an event like this, and the sponsors have to remember

216
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 2>too that it's a it's not just a one day

217
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>event like so many sponsorships. It is a six weeks

218
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 2>almost six weeks, five and a half week. You know

219
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>that you're out there, your name's out there, your your

220
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>every day by lots of people regional and obviously local,

221
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>and so it's hopefully a win win for our sponsors

222
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>and best so definitely it's a win for us because,

223
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>like I said, we couldn't do without sponsors because you

224
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.320
<v Speaker 2>never know what the weather is going to be. I mean,

225
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>if we lose three four days it you know, it

226
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>can hurt, It can really hurt. Because the rink is

227
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 2>not a inexpensive endeavor to put up. People are amazed

228
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 2>when they realize how much goes into that. Plus the

229
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 2>lighting just there's a lot of insurance. There's just a

230
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>lot of things people don't think about. And it's because

231
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>of our sponsors that sabled all happen.

232
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Cherry Weldon is with you, She is with the greater

233
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Barbarabillar Area Chamber of Commerce. Quick question, you got the

234
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>big book that.

235
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Comes out, Yes, that is. It's at the printer. I'm

236
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>hoping it comes out at the very end of January,

237
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe the very first of February. It kind of depends

238
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 2>on their schedule. I'm waiting to hear back from them.

239
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 2>It went before Christmas, but with the holidays and everything.

240
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's got a really pretty cover this year

241
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 2>thanks to Kumar Krishnan, who's a great photographer here in

242
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>town in one of his photos, and it's a great book.

243
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a great selling tool for our community. Yeah, and

244
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>we have people coming in every well, I'll say every day,

245
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>but people that are moving here, interested in here. We

246
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 2>have that resident recruitment program.

247
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 1>And which has been working well.

248
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>It's been working very well. And you know, those are

249
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the employees we want here working with manufacturers and and

250
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>you know our big corporations. And it's been fun to

251
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>see people come in and here where they're coming from.

252
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.799
<v Speaker 2>And we use that book obviously back to that to

253
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 2>give them. It's a great overview of the community. So

254
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>we will be delivering those, like I said, probably the

255
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>very end of January, very first of February, so Chamber

256
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>of Members be watching for that.

257
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 1>And I will tell you this. Everyone I know who

258
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 1>has received one of those books who came in new

259
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 1>to town and that about a dozen. I said, it's

260
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>been worth its weight in gold.

261
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh thank you. There's a lot of valuable information in that.

262
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I could go on the internet by to get

263
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>lost and did nothing bad about the internet, no or that,

264
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 1>but this puts everything into perspective. We even got little

265
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>maps and stuff like that, and.

266
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 2>This it's such a fingertips. There's something about hard copy.

267
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's because I'm old. I don't know. I like

268
00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 2>my hard copies.

269
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you've got a ways to go. We've got

270
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.639
<v Speaker 1>we've got more coming up right here on K one. Sherry,

271
