6
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>the museum.

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Yes, on the fourth of July weekend.

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my goodness, sakes, we got a lot going on.

9
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>First of all, congratulations for the Bartle's celebration that we.

10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 3>Had Cake Bartle's Day birthday. Yeah, that was great.

11
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that performance. You had pretty good little lackers out there.

12
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, there was from the acting community here in Bartlesville.

13
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 3>They came out and volunteered put on a good show.

14
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>We had about one hundred and forty people. It was

15
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>a really good showing. The hotel was very pleased, and

16
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>we're thinking of doing it every year on Jake Bartle's Day.

17
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>You should, well, I think, so change up the script

18
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 3>a little and have a talent show. We're going to

19
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 3>extend it next year to Washington County's got talent so

20
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>that the more of the area people can participate. But

21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 3>our initial year, we thought we'd better start off with

22
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Dewey and thank you for being a judge.

23
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I had a lot of fun.

24
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was great, and you got an opportunity to sing,

25
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, as a time filler. You did very well.

26
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Always should throw up the ham, you know.

27
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And then there was that lady who said I

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 3>got some jokes. Boy, she did, and she did. I

29
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 3>said you could do five jokes. They were fun jokes.

30
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 1>They were fun, all clean. Yeah again funny. Yeah.

31
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>When you give someone permission to do something like that,

32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 3>you keep your fingers crossed. I can imagine how you

33
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>guys on the radio feel about those things.

34
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, we just see Joe's coming. No, I'm

35
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>only kidding now, Joe, you brought friends today.

44
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 3>coming today.

45
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh, thank you I'm originally from Boston and I was

46
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 4>a teacher librarian there and I met my husband online

47
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 4>and moved out here twenty three years ago.

48
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

49
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 4>And I've been telling stories here since two thousand and three.

50
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 4>But I decided to research the fourth of July in Oklahoma,

51
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 4>and it's amazing. We had one hundred and four turtle races.

52
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 4>We had we had one snake race, and then we

53
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 4>had a couple of.

54
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 5>Armadillo races.

55
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 4>A snake race, yes, they only did it once because

56
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 4>they didn't all the directions on.

57
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Top of that paint a number on.

58
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, the turtles, they just put a fish in the

59
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 4>middle and then they put the numbers on their back

60
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 4>and whoever gets there first gets the first hundred dollars.

61
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

62
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well that's I'm just snapping turtle and box turtles,

63
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 3>every kind of turtle.

64
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 5>Any kind of turtle, right, gosh and else.

65
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Then we have the cow chip Capital of Oklahoma in Beaver, Oklahoma.

66
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 4>When you come to Beaver, you see Bucky Beaver. He's

67
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>eighteen feet tall and he's always there. And they've been

68
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 4>running this up cow Chip since the fifties and it's

69
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 4>still going on even today. Anybody can join in.

70
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 3>And at one time, wasn't that the cow chip wasn't

71
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 3>just a woman's activity, or is it now open every

72
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>it's it's open to everybody, everybody else. I thought originally

73
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>that had been a woman's competition because they used the

74
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 3>buffalo chips to cook with as pioneer women. Yeah, on

75
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 3>the Oregon Trail.

76
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 4>And well they got fancier when they the first turtle

77
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 4>race was at the one on One Ranch and we

78
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 4>had all kinds of people come out of one of Tom.

79
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 5>Mix Will Rogers, Annie Oakley.

80
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 3>But that was Annie Oakley from Oklahoma.

81
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 4>No, okay, no, she was She was deserted her family

82
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>because they were beating her, and so she, at the

83
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 4>age of fourteen, she started her first competition and she

84
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 4>was up against this other fellow and she kept beating them.

85
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 5>So the husband he became the husband.

86
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>So what about the Armadello races?

87
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh, the Armadello races were popular because they would tell everybody,

88
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 4>don't run over them, just try to catch them. And

89
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 4>they'd put two fish in the circle, and of course

90
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 4>the first bunch had to be trained to go this way,

91
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 4>and towards the end of the they did that for

92
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 4>about four years and then what for whatever reason, they

93
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 4>got up, they started dying off so they couldn't.

94
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Do the race anymore.

95
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>They started raising their own but even then they just

96
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 4>didn't didn't work out.

97
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>But it was a heck of a heck of a deal.

98
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Yes it was.

99
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 4>And I'm from Massachusetts and I had never heard of

100
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 4>maternal race, and you know.

101
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't make sense in Massachusetts. Well, it probably Boston.

102
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 4>And of course, of course there was a Dewey Hotel,

103
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 4>the Dewey round Up and Will Rogers used to play

104
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 4>there and it was always the third, fourth, and fifth.

105
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Of the month.

106
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 4>And we still can't figure out how they got twenty

107
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 4>thousand people and eventually fifty thousand people and dew we.

108
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 3>And they camped. I understand there was a lot of

109
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 3>camping had to be yeah, yeah, And I understand that

110
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 3>that that popularity carries on to the Pahusca Cavalcade, that

111
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 3>they liked to camp over there.

112
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so.

113
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>What a tradition in my goodness. Anyway, her show is Saturday,

114
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Friday morning, fourth of July at eleven am at the

115
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Hotel Lobby. It's it's donations only. Yeah, but she has

116
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 3>a following. But we thought we would bring her on

117
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 3>and get new audiences. You know, people have guests from

118
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>out of town on the fourth. This is the perfect thing.

119
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So bring your family that's not been around for a

120
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit, or maybe their first time to open.

121
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Actually, we had a family show up at one of

122
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 3>her storytellings. I remember that the family came in with like,

123
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, about two five kids. Yeah, they all just

124
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 3>loved it. And that's what's fun about the Dewey Hotel

125
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 3>as we're trying to have events that attract people to

126
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 3>the history of the icon of the it's being painted

127
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 3>right now. It's all sanded down and one hundred and

128
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 3>twenty five years the building was celebrated one hundred and

129
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty five years. But Diane does several events during the

130
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 3>year and Veterans Day included. We just looked for any

131
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 3>excuse to do storytelling.

132
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, we got to bring you in.

133
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 4>We did.

134
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Well.

135
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't know any of the state that had turtle

136
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 5>races and.

137
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Well maybe the couch hip was in other places, but

138
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 4>Oklahoma was the only place I found that had all

139
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 4>of this sneat stuff.

140
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>My god, you pretty unique.

141
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

142
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 3>He was always on the fourth of July. Yes, that's

143
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 3>so cool.

144
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 4>In fact, it started back in eighteen eighty nine in

145
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 4>Oklahoma City after the first land Run, and they wanted

146
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 4>to get people to come, so they talked to the railroad,

147
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 4>and the railroad made it cheap for them to home,

148
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 4>and they had a grand stand and ten thousand people.

149
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 4>But the day before it started, the grand stand fellow.

150
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh gosh, Well that's what happened eventually to the Dewey

151
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 3>round up. The grand steadon collapsed after a big rainstorm

152
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 3>and a couple of clowns shot off guns and there

153
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 3>were horses.

154
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 1>These were real clowns, folks, not.

155
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Real clowns, but the horses bolted and started to shimmying

156
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 3>effect and cause that stadium to collapse. Well, then on

157
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Saturday of the fourth of July weekend, we're doing the

158
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Family Film Festival. We're showing The Music Man.

159
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I was the music band in nineteen seventy seven.

160
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Who did you play, Harold Hill? Oh my gosh, yeah,

161
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 3>right here here city. Well, we googled Fourth of July

162
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 3>movies and The Music Man was like number one in

163
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the nation for top fourth of July movies, and so

164
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 3>nothing perfect for an outdoor showing, you know, and.

165
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Nice Iowa picnic.

166
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 3>It's see ioa way. Yeah, it's a great music. Well,

167
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 3>I remember when that came out as a kid, I

168
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 3>was early Broadway. I just anything Broadway. I like music.

169
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 3>But the movie I went and sell the movie over

170
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>and over again, and it's just a great it's a

171
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 3>baby boomer classic. And so anyway, that's going to happen

172
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 3>at eight thirty on July fifth, Saturday night of the

173
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>fourth of July weekend, and it's free, and there's a

174
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 3>concession and we have chairs all set up and hopefully

175
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>a beautiful summer evening there you go. So far it's

176
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 3>staying pretty cool out there and no rain. My god,

177
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 3>we've got plenty of rain.

178
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, these movies that we have outdoors, they've really been

179
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>working well for the hotel, haven't they.

180
00:09:59.320 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 4>They have.

181
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 3>We've had to cancel a couple because of the weather.

182
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 3>But you know, if that's what happens when you do

183
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 3>outdoor events. So we're hoping that, you know, with now

184
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 3>in the summertime, if it gets too hot, even the

185
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 3>evening is too hot, but right now June is in

186
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 3>July fourth it's too irresistible. And then then in the

187
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 3>fall we have an event planning where we're doing. We're

188
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.679
<v Speaker 3>going to revive He'll Billy Heaven. You know, a few

189
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 3>years ago we did that at the Heritage Theater in

190
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Dewey and it was a big hit and all the

191
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 3>country western stars come out and sing their favorite songs,

192
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's a musical review. And we've got the

193
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.879
<v Speaker 3>original cast trying to commit, but we've got some new

194
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 3>We finally found us a George Jones.

195
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 1>That's a hard fit, yeah it is.

196
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 3>He sings she stopped he Stopped Loving Her Today, which

197
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 3>you know we were discussed. Now that's a hard one

198
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 3>to sing because he has that's considered to be the

199
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 3>number one country Western song ever written. But you know,

200
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.919
<v Speaker 3>we've got a guy who can do him. And we

201
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>have a Tammy Wynette. In our last production she sang

202
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 3>stand by Your Man. But in the Willie Neilson production,

203
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.720
<v Speaker 3>the first one. We've done this show several times, Willie's

204
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 3>it was the first Tammy Wynette sang I don't want

205
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.080
<v Speaker 3>to play House and that was a big hit. So

206
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 3>we've got a Kitty Wells, an older lady who sings

207
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Kitty Wells, and we've lost our Loretta Lynn. She had

208
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 3>to go to work. We don't have a Mama cass

209
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 3>Elliott anymore, so you know, we just we're looking for

210
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 3>a Brenda Lee and we're gonna hold auditions throughout Don

211
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Tyler Park. David Valdez who runs a karaoke here in Bartlesville.

212
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>He's going to have a series of karaoke sessions at

213
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the Pavilion and Don Tyler Park, and there's three of

214
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 3>them schedule for the summer. And that gives people an

215
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to pick out the singers. We've asked you to

216
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 3>show up and do Alroy Clark for us. Anyway, That's

217
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 3>where we get our cast members is through the karaokes.

218
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 3>It gives them a chance. That's where you find singers

219
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 3>who can imitate the real artists. Some of them are

220
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 3>professional band members and singers, but most of them are

221
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 3>karaoke people and they sing really well. They won't have

222
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 3>any theatrical experience. It's hard at first, it was hard

223
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 3>to get to come to rehearsals. They're going, what's that.

224
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>It's where we put the whole show together, sometimes in pieces,

225
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 2>but it all comes together.

226
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 3>They don't like to show up, have a cold beer,

227
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 3>and when their turn comes they get up and sing,

228
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 3>but they have a good time.

229
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Where do they think they are in Nashville?

230
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Karaoke is a great way. It's good for the mental health.

231
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 3>It is it is to get out there and get

232
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 3>up in front of people, no matter what the circumstances.

233
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 3>It's always healthy to do that and keep the mind going.

234
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 3>But you never know the talent. We did a revival

235
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 3>of it. We tried to start one up in Independence.

236
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 3>Didn't have any luck up in Independence putting a show together.

237
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 3>But down here in the Bartletsfield area, well, we have

238
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>lots of singers.

239
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>We do.

240
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 3>So we've got that coming up through the summer and

241
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 3>that's going to be the Western Heritage Day's weekend in

242
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 3>the fall. Our Western Heritage Day is October the eleventh,

243
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 3>and we're doing H'll be Heaven on the tenth in

244
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 3>the twelfth and we're doing it outside between the hitching

245
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Post and the hotel. We have a nice slab out there.

246
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 3>It's going to have lights in the stage and so

247
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 3>we're looking forward to that. We're moving forward with the

248
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Dirty Dewey Hotel on doing more entertainment events and we're

249
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 3>going to sell tickets to We're going to sell it

250
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.480

251
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.360
<v Speaker 3>but if you want to sit and listen to the show.

252
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.960
<v Speaker 3>And so it's going to turn into a fundraiser. So
