I think of it in 55 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.039 two aspects, because of the tournament play itself as important, 56 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.639 that is, but our two program days. So the last 57 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.599 three years we've had weather issues on our Wednesdays and Thursdays. 58 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.000 Yeah, heavy rain, yeah, yeah, but that makes for like 59 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.879 you know, remember when you had that and the pictures 60 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.520 and all that and not that it helps, but yeah, 61 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.199 it's it's during the Cool Guard Classic, they came out 62 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.039 and it was still cold and they still played and 63 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:47.680 ye had snowball fights. 64 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:49.800 And that's yeah. A few years back. I think it 65 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.120 was not even the year that we had snow. We 66 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.120 had some lighter snow earlier in the week and it 67 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.639 stayed cool enough behind all the hospitality since it didn't 68 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.000 have Sunno. 69 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.560 Right, right, it's funny. 70 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.759 You guys have never met before, and you guys, as 71 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.319 I know, most of the Conkey stores too, Yeah, like 72 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.599 Dan Lintel and all those guys and then yeah, but 73 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.879 Dan's taken over. I think he's in charge of Centurions 74 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.400 this year. So yeah, I'm pretty sure he is so nice. 75 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.879 Tom Clark's been one of my close friends of mentors 76 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.319 from lunch he see is one of my favorite. 77 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.360 Yeah, the man, what are these things that we've talked 78 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.159 about before and I've had re floors and all that. 79 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.360 How everybody comes together like you are skipping Wednesday because 80 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.719 of that? You know what I'm saying. It's everybody's pulling 81 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.520 the same rope to success. We're trying to. 82 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.360 I mean, I think not just from our standpoint, our job, 83 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.919 the authority's job, so there's on sports churism film authority 84 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.719 is to uplift and promote and market the communities that 85 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.560 we represent. So, I mean, I said it before, but 86 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080 the color Guard's ingrained into our DNA of who we are. 87 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:46.680 We don't want to we don't want to mess with that. 88 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.039 We want to make sure that we're creating success as 89 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.000 much as as possibly can the same, right. 90 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.840 I mean, I think that's and we've got some bigger 91 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.280 restrictions with the PGA tour and and kind of win 92 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.479 oh short and get seedtled out within them. So, I mean, 93 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.960 I know that kind of plays in because you're right 94 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.400 before the book festival and the tournament and the tournament 95 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.879 or the PAC twelve tournament you know now, but you 96 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.159 know what I'm saying, it's kind of like the small 97 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.120 window everybody has during this great time. Yeah, and you know, 98 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.319 timing wise too, especially with the book festival, we don't 99 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.560 think about it until we need, you know, a big tent. 100 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.439 Yeah.

He's up and coming, so he's been 244 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.039 kind of hit and hit mainstream pretty. 245 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.600 Right, I'm sure that's been pretty Both of them have 246 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.000 been pretty popular both nights they have. 247 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.279 Yeah, so this is the first time that we've done 248 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.200 two nights. Yeah. 249 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.240 So last year was fantastically Midland on Friday Night, which 250 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.279 over at the the til Park. 251 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.159 The racetrack was a perfect setup. 252 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.679 So we've made that a little bit bigger to accommodate 253 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:35.360 a larger fan based this year. 254 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.080 So so my story for Bisinus song with you. You 255 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.879 know you've seen that place a thousand times, every you know, 256 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.919 every nook and cranny, right, because you had to make 257 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.759 sure everything is right. Uh, just a dumb question because 258 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.840 I know the answer. Probably Would you do this again? 259 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.679 Because you guys switch every year, right we do? Yeah, 260 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.080 I would because it's it's fun. 261 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.960 I mean, it's it's it's hard, it's a ton of work, 262 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.720 but I mean it's an apps blast. And if we 263 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.720 can hit close to the numbers that I'm tracking and 264 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.679 hoping that we can hit from a sales standpoint, and 265 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.000 what we can give, I mean, it's worth every bit 266 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.960 of nightless sleep to be able to give back the 267 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:12.399 way that we can. 268 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.519 I think the numbers I used and you may be 269 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.480 better than what I'm going to say. Seven hundred thousand. 270 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.000 Yeah, that's what that was our last year's community impact. 271 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.200 Between us, the tour and Color Guard, we were able 272 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.679 to give back to the Tucson community over seven hundred 273 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.360 and fifty thousand, And at the end of the day, 274 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.759 that's what it's all about. One hundred percent. I mean, 275 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.320 as I mentioned when you, when you and I were 276 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.600 talking about in the article. I mean one dollar changes 277 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.240 of life, So anything above that we're winning. 278 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.519 Yeah, and I'm sure you will aware of this. I 279 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.720 think this these guys, these guys the color Guard, the Classic, 280 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.639 there's no better partnership because it's right in our wheelhouse 281 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.279 for the testing and all that. Because I guess now 282 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.559 they're going to forty forty five, forty five forty five 283 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.240 and you have these great stories of the people coming 284 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.759 in their survivors. I mean, come on, you're gonna either 285 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.559 cry or or be happy for their success. 286 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:01.879 You know. 287 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.360 It's the partnership with col of Guard because you know, 288 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.799 we've had corporate sponsors in the past for you know, 289 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.000 the Tucson Open, you know, back in the day and 290 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.720 when we were Center match Play, and those are great institutions. 291 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.440 But I think the. 292 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.159 Fabric of what color Guard by Exact Science does and 293 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.399 getting to hear the stories and how they utilize this 294 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.639 platform to showcase their survivors and caregivers so they bring 295 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.399 them out for the entire week. I think they're going 296 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.279 to try to host over four hundred and fifty this 297 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.519 week for the tournament and one of our exemption picks 298 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.840 so we get a few exemption picks.
