<v Speaker 1>I can't remember.

58
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>It's it's assorted flavors or do we have I think

59
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.439

00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh, well you there you go.

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty moon pies are the most moon pies eaten in

63
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minutes. So we're putting a time limit.

64
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>That's really good because the time that we didn't do.

65
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>That, yeah, we were there for a while, was.

66
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>A little longer than I had put them on my camera.

67
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 1>But this is going to be a lot of fun now.

68
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>The little guys and galls, I hear we've got a

69
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>little tracker pull for them.

70
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>We do, we do, but they have very pedal companies

71
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>coming again this year. They always do an amazing job

72
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>getting those kids excited and getting them on a tractor

73
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>that fits their size. And when we say tractor, it's

74
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>it's not actually an engine driven tractor. They drive it themselves.

75
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a pedal tractor. So they get to give it,

76
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>give it there all and see how far they can

77
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>pull those weights. And let me tell you, there's a

78
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 2>they get after it.

79
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 3>And that's on Friday night at seven o'clock.

80
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so right after you have your moon high. Yes,

81
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 1>and the spectators have the regular food fair that you

82
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.319

<v Speaker 1>foot trafficking doors, don't you.

111
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>We do, we do, we our indoor entries. We we've

112
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>already got a lot of feedback. I think it's it

113
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>was full last year and now we're having to think

114
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 2>about how we're going to rearrange it to get it

115
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>all in there again.

116
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>The problem to have.

117
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>It is the more the merrier, Well we'll get it

118
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>figured out. But there is a lot to see and

<v Speaker 2>one o'clock. Then the horse show will start at two

154
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>o'clock Saturday afternoon, so we're super excited. We have a

155
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>new superintendent for that show. She's an experienced horse person

156
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and she actually added a class to the horse show

157
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 2>this year. It's the trail class, so I'm excited to see.

158
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen one before, so there's gonna be some

159
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 2>obstacles and those those people have to get around and

160
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>get around all of them on their horses, so that

161
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>that'll be new and fun, very good.

162
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 3>And then the children's barnyard. There will always be little

163
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>critters there to take a look at, so if you

164
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 3>don't see an animal, there will be an animals for

165
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>you to see.

166
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>And then the poultry and the rabbit show is Friday morning,

167
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>so there's really every every shape and size and feathered

168
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>and furred and everything to see.

169
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Chicken. The rabbits kind of took off a little bit

170
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>over the last couple of years. I mean, I would

171
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>have never dreamed that rabbits would be a livestock pair

172
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>judging type of thing. And then what three years ago, Oh, yes,

173
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 1>they disturbed multiply it. I don't know how that happened.

174
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 3>They did well like rabbits.

175
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they are.

176
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's a it's a good project, especially for you know,

177
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.639
<v Speaker 2>beginners or not even beginners. You know, there's there's a

178
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of really experienced people in that world. But it's

179
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a it's economic and it doesn't cause it doesn't require

180
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of space to have that project. So it

181
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>is really a good versatile project for people to get into.

182
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>So wonderful. Now getting back to my favorite part of

183
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the fair. Food and we have some we have some

184
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>food trucks, but we also have the big meal providers

185
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>we do and it's for purpose. I don't want anybody

186
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>thinking that, you know, you get to go out there

187
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 1>and camp out in the cafeteria all day, but you

188
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>could for a price, well, you can.

189
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>And this is a great opportunity for local or some

190
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of our organizations to do as their fundraisers. That's that's

191
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>the main purpose. But they do provide us with really

192
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>great food. And so Thursday it's gonna be our fair Board,

<v Speaker 3>And that's five to eighty.

228
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>So there's really no downtime here. No, this is just

229
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 1>going to be boom boom boom boom boom. Go go, go,

230
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 1>go go. But it's going to be so much fun. Now.

231
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>What I really like when I come out here in

232
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the daytime is that the school children get an opportunity

233
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 1>for a field trip. How many times. Does that happen

234
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 1>outside of Oklahoma where kids get to go to the

235
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>fair for a field trip. It never happened. So this

236
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>is kind of for folks to take this for granted

237
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that it always happens, right, It just happens here.

238
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>It just happens here. Yes, we always enjoy seeing those

239
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 2>lines of kids at the door ready to come in

240
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and see everything that the fair has to offer, and

241
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>we do. We in the past few years we have

242
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 2>anywhere from you know, three hundred to six hundred kids

243
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>come through, and that's a lot of kids, but it's

244
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 2>it's a good time.

245
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>They're always on their best behavior. You know, they'll get

246
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>that one look from the teacher and it's like going,

247
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I think my comedy career is over, like now, yes,

248
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, the acting that does not happen.

249
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we'll have Gary Deckord with his rope making machine,

250
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 3>all porn shelling and so that's always a big one

251
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 3>for the kids.

252
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 1>They got to get to the little rope made so.

253
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.600
<v Speaker 2>They yeah, I can't come to the fair without without

254
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>taking them a rope.

255
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>We got the fishing guys out there too.

256
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Yes, the Green Country, the Green Country fly fishers

257
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>are going to be there again this year. I'm telling

258
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you what their product is, bar none, the most durable.

259
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>And I know it's a safety pin and a mock flight,

260
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 2>but that thing will survive a washer and a dryer.

261
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Ask me how I know. I have three kids and

262
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you how many times I've washed and

263
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>dried those little things, not realizing they were still on

264
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>their fair shirts. And they still are. Just look like

265
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>they you know, they held up. They're durable.

266
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And know something, those peddle's got some stories to tell you, and.

267
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 3>They'll be back to back with the lace makers. So ah,

268
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>you can trol the fly and tat some lace and once.

269
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.279
<v Speaker 1>You got a little bit of everything going on, yes,

270
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of cover bases. I think you got them all covered,

271
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 1>to be quite honest with you. So this once again

272
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>runs September.

273
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It's open to the public fourth through the sixth, and

274
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.399
<v Speaker 2>so indoor entries are due on the second, and then

275
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 2>the all the livestock entries will come in on the third,

276
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll get it all organized and ready for

277
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you to look at and it'll be open to the

278
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>public the.

279
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Morning from today.

280
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Three weeks from today is the opening day. How fast

281
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I have to ask this because I've never been there

282
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:12.200
<v Speaker 1>when the doors are closed.

283
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Because the doors are closed, right, do you need a

284
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 2>secret passage?

285
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, I'm just trying to figure out how

286
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 1>and that heck you get that so organized on the indoors,

287
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>not really knowing what's coming through.

288
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Years years of experience and just kind of being flexible

289
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 4>and on the fly, being creative, and.

290
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>It really we have a good team.

291
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you really want to behind the scenes.

292
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you bring your entry in, it's sorted by class,

293
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 3>it gets judged, and after it's judge, it's got to

294
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>be displayed. So there's like twelve hours of ballet of

295
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 3>just boom boom, and it's up wall on which it's

296
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 3>pretty it's like what happened, which.

297
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Which reminds me we do have a really good team.

298
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But we could always use help. We could we could

299
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.759
<v Speaker 2>use help, And so I encourage you if you have

300
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>any spare time before the fair, because we're always up there,

301
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, trying to build pins and getting all the
