Speaker 1: And good morning.
Speaker 2: Welcome to community connection here on K one AM fourteen
Speaker 2: ninety three point three and ninety five point one, also
Speaker 2: streaming on K one tv dot com and on Facebook
Speaker 2: Live this morning.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 2: We do have a couple of great guests this morning,
Speaker 2: have Pam Crawford and Tricia Richards, both from the Girl
Speaker 2: Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: Good morning, ladies, Good morning morning.
Speaker 1: How are we doing this morning.
Speaker 4: It's a great day day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I'm telling you, yes.
Speaker 3: I've rolled the windows down to the car and oh
Speaker 3: my word, it was almost cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's been.
Speaker 1: It's been very very fun.
Speaker 2: Here over the past couple of days with these you know,
Speaker 2: kind of like September like temperatures.
Speaker 5: Right, you know, nice in August, right, we'll take exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, the Girl Scouts, of course, are always doing something
Speaker 2: here in the community, and we've.
Speaker 1: Got a really cool thing coming up.
Speaker 2: We were just talking off air that this has been
Speaker 2: kind of like monshy Monday around here in the K
Speaker 2: one studios.
Speaker 1: Moon Pies, Healthy Snacks.
Speaker 3: And now Girl Scout cooking, Girl Scout Cookie and Beer.
Speaker 1: I love it. Girl Scout Cookies and Beer. Now, what
Speaker 1: in the world is going on?
Speaker 3: Well, this is our adult fundraiser for the year. You know,
Speaker 3: you're used to seeing the girls out in the fall
Speaker 3: with Fall product or definitely in the February March with
Speaker 3: the Girl Scout cookies, but this is the one where
Speaker 3: we ask the adults to come in and try to
Speaker 3: help us out. And so this is Cookies on Tap
Speaker 3: and we'll be at Cooper and Mill this Thursday from
Speaker 3: four thirty to six thirty. And I'm sure Chris is
Speaker 3: going to have an interesting set of pairings of cookies
Speaker 3: and beer. Last year, I remember we had a lemon
Speaker 3: cookie with kind of a blueberry flavored beer and all
Speaker 3: of us were kind of like, going, really it actually
Speaker 3: was very very good. So we're excited to hear what
Speaker 3: we've got this year. We haven't seen the list yet,
Speaker 3: so we'll be sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a surprised for all of it.
Speaker 2: And of course you're talking about Chris Tathey, the owner
Speaker 2: of Cooper and Mills.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's a really cool thing. So again this
Speaker 1: is an adult staying. We're not going to see you know,
Speaker 1: participants in the Girl Scouts.
Speaker 3: There, that's correct, that's right.
Speaker 2: You know, they'll have to wait a few years. But anyway,
Speaker 2: so what even spurred this idea to do a beer
Speaker 2: pairing with cookies Girl Scout cookies for that matter.
Speaker 3: Well, if you've been around Bartlesville, you know our Girl
Speaker 3: Scout event for the adults has evolved. We did Pearls
Speaker 3: and Pinot over ten years ago. We've had tea parties,
Speaker 3: we've had what we call Pearls on the Prairie, and
Speaker 3: it was a barbecue most of the time out at
Speaker 3: timber Oaks west of town. But a couple of years
Speaker 3: ago we decided it was time to change it up,
Speaker 3: and so we went with this idea of cookies on tap.
Speaker 3: And you know, this is the third year we've done it,
Speaker 3: although it's only the second year we've had the name.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of fun. People come in right after work.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like happy hour after work, so lots
Speaker 3: of folks that work downtown. Please come buy at four thirty.
Speaker 3: You can buy a ticket at the door, you don't
Speaker 3: have to buy it in advance, and try the beers.
Speaker 3: There'll be a cash bar. There's nothing that stops you
Speaker 3: from buying another beer or libation that they have at
Speaker 3: Cooper and Mill. And we'll have some nibbles. The people
Speaker 3: in the Girl Scout office out of Tulsa.
Speaker 6: Are actually creating a large cartoonery board for us at
Speaker 6: sort so we're looking forward to that to have some
Speaker 6: nibbles to go in addition to cookies of course.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and it's taken off. It's kind of neat
Speaker 3: to see a little bit different crowd we get at
Speaker 3: four thirty on a weekday after Saturday night at six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna have a great band there as well,
Speaker 2: with music starting at four thirty two, right.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, we're pleased to have an Jeanette or AJ
Speaker 3: and the Evolution back again. They've played for us several
Speaker 3: times and we like having them. It kind of adds
Speaker 3: to the ambience of the room to have the live
Speaker 3: music in there. They're very good.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're awesome.
Speaker 2: I've known Anginette for years, her husband Jay and really
Speaker 2: the entire Elmore family that's you know, hey.
Speaker 1: We're all Barshams, you know. Yes, that's the way it works,
Speaker 1: and they do a great job. Excuse me now, you
Speaker 1: also have again tickets are how much your ticket sectually
Speaker 1: get in.
Speaker 5: Fifty and also available at the door, right, yes, And
Speaker 5: we would still love sponsorships. If we have quite a
Speaker 5: few sponsors going already with between Phillips.
Speaker 4: Our Vest, Jim Moore State Farm.
Speaker 5: Obviously we are Barswell Area United Way agents, but if
Speaker 5: someone would love to sponsor our event, we would be
Speaker 5: glad to talk to them about that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And you're going to have a raffle going on
Speaker 2: right during the event as well, so talk a little
Speaker 2: bit about the raffle. How much tickets are and what are.
Speaker 1: We going to be given away.
Speaker 3: So tickets are twenty dollars apiece or six for twenty
Speaker 3: and you'll put them in a jar and we'll get
Speaker 3: got like ten fifteen different items. We have a Root
Speaker 3: sixty six basket that features Meadow Gold mac and that
Speaker 3: came out that came out of Tulsa. We've got kind
Speaker 3: of a techy basket of all those things you need
Speaker 3: for your computer and your iPod and your streaming and
Speaker 3: all those different things. We've got a basket of books
Speaker 3: and goodies. The Armchair Traveler is what we've named it.
Speaker 3: And if you've got a dog, we have a basket
Speaker 3: really aimed at the dogs. So now the dogs are
Speaker 3: not invited to the event. Although actually Cooper mill is
Speaker 3: Dog our dog friendly. I'm probably not bringing my dogs
Speaker 3: so they would be a little hard to control. And
Speaker 3: we've also got a couple of Oshue tickets. It'll be
Speaker 3: football tickets. It'll be in the rounde too.
Speaker 1: Go folks, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 2: That just sounds like an incredible vent And who would
Speaker 2: have thought we could get creative with pairing something as
Speaker 2: delicious as Girl Scout cookies and peer that pair that
Speaker 2: with a beer.
Speaker 5: We're yeah, really surprised last year at some of the
Speaker 5: flavors that the beer brought out in the cookies and
Speaker 5: vice versa so.
Speaker 3: Well, and they took some feedback from us that we
Speaker 3: thought we had a few too many darker beers last year,
Speaker 3: and so we've been told it's going to be a
Speaker 3: little bit more of a variety this year. But it
Speaker 3: is kind of interesting to see what the taste will do.
Speaker 3: And well, of course I've seen things they'll they'll try
Speaker 3: during Girl Scout Cookie season to pair it up with
Speaker 3: your favorite wine or whatever, so you know, food and
Speaker 3: drink they compliment each other. So but of course we're
Speaker 3: not don't We only have the Girl Scout cookies that
Speaker 3: are going with the beer. And whatever. It's not Girl
Speaker 3: Scout Cookie time yet, it's still summer. But the girl
Speaker 3: programs and what they do with the Girl Scout cookies,
Speaker 3: that the financial literacy, the marketing literacy is just huge
Speaker 3: in what we do there. But there's a lot more
Speaker 3: to Girl Scouts than just the cookies.
Speaker 1: That absolutely true.
Speaker 2: You know, Girl Scouts have been around this area for
Speaker 2: years decades. Yes, so, and they are again a service
Speaker 2: organization that teaches these young ladies how to be better
Speaker 2: community servants.
Speaker 3: I believe well, and I know I've said on the
Speaker 3: radio what I've been here before is that, you know,
Speaker 3: if it hadn't been for Girl Scouts, I'm not sure
Speaker 3: I would have achieved all the things that I've achieved
Speaker 3: because it did create that confidence to do leadership type
Speaker 3: and service type activity.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a great thing.
Speaker 2: And when was when was the first Girl Scout troop
Speaker 2: here in Bartlesville?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was in nineteen fourteen, in one year, one
Speaker 5: eleven years. Math is hard on Monday, UNCHI yes, right.
Speaker 1: I'm having a moonpie hangover, That's what that is.
Speaker 2: But you know, it really does build those girls of
Speaker 2: you know, courage, confidence, character and you know nineteen fourteen,
Speaker 2: and you know Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma. That's that's
Speaker 2: where this particular chapter here. So we're all the other chapters.
Speaker 1: That are part of the Eastern Oklahoma organization.
Speaker 5: So it covers all thirty county counties in Eastern Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: Our event really supports this local region.
Speaker 5: So we're looking at Bartlesville, Nowada, Ocelia, Ramona, and Pahasca
Speaker 5: and so that is our section. We call ourselves the
Speaker 5: Cross Timbers Service Unit. So you have troops service units, regions.
Speaker 4: And then of course the national level.
Speaker 5: So there are two organizations within Oklahoma, Western and Eastern.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's great, that's great.
Speaker 2: And you know, I remember as a kid growing up,
Speaker 2: we used to have my church youth group. We used
Speaker 2: to have retreats out at camp watch a sheet and
Speaker 2: I know that has to still be kicking around, right.
Speaker 4: It sure is. Yeah, it's really the gym of our area.
Speaker 5: It is not the only camp in our region, but
Speaker 5: it is the camp that we support here in this
Speaker 5: area and use for day camp. Actually, we have used
Speaker 5: the camp for years, sometimes for residents camp, but the
Speaker 5: last few years they have restarted day camp during the summer,
Speaker 5: so day camp is an opportunity for our girls who
Speaker 5: may be not ready to spend the night away from
Speaker 5: home several nights in a row, but really want to
Speaker 5: experience what camp is all about.
Speaker 4: So we have kayaking, there's a lake.
Speaker 5: There is a pool there as well, so they do
Speaker 5: work on their swimming skills. We have an archery range
Speaker 5: and this year they're working on adding actually acts throwing
Speaker 5: and so that will be available next year.
Speaker 4: So lots of hiking trails.
Speaker 5: Available to really explore the camp and nature and and
Speaker 5: spend some time, you know, community building within themselves, learning
Speaker 5: those outdoor skills, fire building and safety within the outdoors
Speaker 5: as well. So we've really been excited to see that
Speaker 5: a day camp program grow in this area.
Speaker 4: The last few years it's maxed out.
Speaker 5: We could have only taken more girls if we had
Speaker 5: more volunteers, which is a great problem to.
Speaker 3: Have, right And this fundraiser and it's different incantation forms
Speaker 3: over the years, has been active in supporting what goes
Speaker 3: on out at Camp ten. Twelve years ago, it was
Speaker 3: this fundraiser that helped put the new pool in fifty
Speaker 3: year old pool needed replacement and so we did that.
Speaker 3: We helped with the observatory that's out there a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago. And so when the adults come together
Speaker 3: and raise uns, this helps underwrite camp. It helps provide
Speaker 3: financial assistance to girls getting started in Scouts, and so
Speaker 3: this fundraiser is important because this is our way of
Speaker 3: helping those girls get started in this and and build
Speaker 3: their confidence. Uh. You know there the Girl Scouts at
Speaker 3: the national level have have found that, you know, it
Speaker 3: provides a sense of self. Eighty six percent of the
Speaker 3: girls that go through the program have this sense of
Speaker 3: being more confident and full of leadership skills. And that's
Speaker 3: a that's quite an accomplishment.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is, absolutely, and it's it's a it's a
Speaker 2: beautiful piece of land as well. Now I haven't been
Speaker 2: out there in several years obviously because I'm old now, but.
Speaker 1: There is the lodge still there, correct, Okay, And.
Speaker 2: So I remember, I remember the lodge and it's over
Speaker 2: in the oz Shills and you can actually see wool
Speaker 2: of rock.
Speaker 4: Yes, our property backs up to wool I.
Speaker 2: Could actually see wooll of rock out there, I remember,
Speaker 2: believe it or not.
Speaker 1: If I'm sure trees have grown since.
Speaker 2: And but you could see the dome on the museum,
Speaker 2: believe it or not from from that.
Speaker 1: Area that.
Speaker 5: Either, we'll have to look for that.
Speaker 3: I just learned something. Yeah, can I.
Speaker 1: Remember it distinctly?
Speaker 2: I think we were actually out there, uh one of
Speaker 2: the last times. It was right around when okay, Moztart
Speaker 2: was doing their finale and we could actually see the fireworks.
Speaker 3: Not that I bet you could.
Speaker 4: That would be a neat view, right it was.
Speaker 1: It was. Now is the Ropes course to author? Is
Speaker 1: it gone?
Speaker 4: It is not?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 4: It is that is part of the area that is
Speaker 4: being used now for the axe throwing.
Speaker 2: Good, you're good, well, you know I that Ropes course
Speaker 2: was certainly challenging for me, and so the axe thrawing
Speaker 2: it's better to harm me.
Speaker 3: You You just hit on something though, is that?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: You said the Ropes course was challenging, And that's a
Speaker 3: little bit of what we're trying to do. The girls
Speaker 3: get a challenge while they're a camp or through Girl Scouts,
Speaker 3: and we're able to get all of those girls to
Speaker 3: take the risk. You know, they have friends that support
Speaker 3: them and say, hey, you can do it. We're here
Speaker 3: for you. And we all need people like that in
Speaker 3: our lives.
Speaker 1: We do we certainly do.
Speaker 2: And another thing that we need in our lives is
Speaker 2: of course cookies on tap, cookies and beer together. Again,
Speaker 2: run down when it's going to be, where it's going
Speaker 2: to be, and how to get involved.
Speaker 3: Okay again This Thursday, August seventh, four thirty six, four
Speaker 3: thirty six, thirty fifty dollars for a ticket. They can
Speaker 3: buy it at the door, or they can get on
Speaker 3: the the g seok dot org website and buy them
Speaker 3: in advance. We'll have raffles tickets available, We'll have some music,
Speaker 3: we'll have munchies, and we'll see what kind of pairings
Speaker 3: we think girls goot cookies go with the beer. Wonderful
Speaker 3: beer at Cooper and Mill.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a great event, and again it's a
Speaker 2: it's a great program. Girls Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma just
Speaker 2: doing a great time, a great job, especially heuring the
Speaker 2: cross Timbers area. You see them out all over the place,
Speaker 2: so well, you know, get out there, go do cookies
