Speaker 1: And we were just kind of talking about the origin
Speaker 1: of this. Originally was a comedy thing, which is kind

Speaker 1: things and it's sneaking right up. When is this?
Speaker 2: That's right October ninth, from five thirty to eight thirty,
Speaker 2: and we've.
Speaker 1: Got Becky Blue and Patrick Hicks and Pearl Leeferman and
Speaker 1: Jim Wooster are the speakers this year, and each one
Speaker 1: of them talking about different things. But it's always, like
Speaker 1: I said, i've been to this event, it's always a
Speaker 1: neat event. I was just telling Molly that the first
Speaker 1: year I went, I thought it was a comedy event
Speaker 1: and we got there and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is not comedy at all. So but it's still fun
Speaker 1: event and it's a great event. And it's for a
Speaker 1: good reason too, isn't it.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yes, So this is a fundraiser, our big
Speaker 2: fundraiser for the year for Reach Literacy, and it's just
Speaker 2: a great way to get everybody together and share what
Speaker 2: we've been doing. We're going to have learners there who
Speaker 2: we teach in our different programs in Sioux Falls, and
Speaker 2: they're going to share their stories as well among the
Speaker 2: other fabulous speakers that you named. Nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is an opportunity for anybody who wants
Speaker 1: to contribute to come out, be a part of it,
Speaker 1: have a little bit of fun, enjoy some camaraderie with
Speaker 1: other people, and probably walk away learning a little something
Speaker 1: about something.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And we have local beer. We have some fabulous wine,
Speaker 2: handwritten wines, and we are having Nickis Taco Bar.
