6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>could say we had an amazing fireworks show on the

7
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July, but sadly the fireworks portion of the

8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>event got rained out, so we did not get to

9
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>do that. But I do want to say thank you

10
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to everybody that came out for all of the fun

11
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>that started at seven pm, and we had some folks

12
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that were showing up at like six point thirty. So

13
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 1>a big thank you to all of the sponsors, and

14
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a big thank you to all of the volunteers and

15
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>all the people that put their heart and soul into

16
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>making this event happen. And I wish we could have

17
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>gotten everything in, but we didn't get to do some

18
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of it. So I'm going to go through and just

19
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about the things that we did get to do,

20
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>because even though the fireworks didn't happen, look at all

21
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the cool stuff we did get to do. A big

22
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>thank you to the American Bank and Trust the folks

23
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>there for the American Bank and Trust Kids area. That

24
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 1>happened and a whole lot of kids had a whole

25
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. Big thank you to Trail Life for

26
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>being the volunteers to help there. They gave out a

27
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 1>bunch of flags. They had ten thousand flags, and I

28
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 1>know they've got some left because again the thing got

29
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 1>cut short. But we'll have some of those for it

30
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>next year. And again I think we're getting more so

31
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>we'll be given out even more flags next year. Mister

32
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.040

33
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>you to all the people who stood in line with

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.680

35
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.560

36
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.400

37
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 1>And I've seen a bunch of those shared online, which

38
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is cool. Party Train USA that was brand new this year,

39
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a Kid's train sponsored by Midwest Railcar Repair that happened

40
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>as well. Also, Great Faces photo booth was brand new

41
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>this year sponsored by Yonnuts and Sioux Falls that happened.

42
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 1>And the face painting for the kids sponsored by cufflinks

43
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>dot Com. Big thank you to the young lady who's

44
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>doing the face painting and Cufflinks for sponsoring it. Then

45
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.079
<v Speaker 1>we get to the free entertainment on the Blue Peak

46
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Fiber Internet stage. We got a lot of this stuff

47
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>in not everything, but Phil Baker performed courtesy of sux

48
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Falls jc's and South Dakota Arts Council, and the brass

49
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Holes performed as well, see of Sunny Radio. They got

50
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>rain and they stopped, and then they came back out

51
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and rained and then stopped and then they came back.

52
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>They performed three times, and finally the sky broke loose

53
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of their set, and that's when we

54
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 1>had to kind of finally just go, okay, we're done.

55
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>So we did not get to do the Poet Ethanol

56
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Power Vanguard flyover. They were on the runway, they were

57
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. But then that's right, it was eight

58
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>thirty is when they were going to be doing the flyover,

59
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 1>and that's right when the storm got pretty bad. Nine

60
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>o'clock we were going to have the Starts and Ends

61
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 1>band and they were also going to perform for the

62
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Comfort King Mattress Factory Comfort King after party, and we

63
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to do that. Bubba, thank you for coming

64
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>out being a part of the event. He was there

65
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and helping and we were making announcements and doing stuff

66
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>in the rain. So Bubba was very very helpful and

67
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>we hoped to have him perform next year. And then

68
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>we also the other one thing that we didn't get

69
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 1>to do was the fireworks, and I understand it's a

70
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>big thing at the Sioux Falls Fireworks, but sadly we

71
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>did not get to do that because of the rain.

72
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to say thank you all the volunteers. We

73
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>had so many people helping this year, and again just

74
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing groups of people and some individuals that reached out

75
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 1>and said, hey, how can I help? What do you

76
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>need help with? So big thank you all of them. Also,

77
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a huge thank you to the food trucks. This year.

78
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>We had more food trucks than we've ever had in

79
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>the past. And we're gonna do a little different layout

80
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>next year because we had food trucks kind of parked

81
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>in weird places. But a big thank in all of

82
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>the food trucks for being out there. And again a

83
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>huge thank you to all of our sponsors. Huge thank

<v Speaker 1>and Butterburgers and Mini Critters and our friends at the

97
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>fireworks store again, huge naked, all of them. Now. I

98
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know there were people who were sad that we didn't

99
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>get to do the fireworks. You know who was even

100
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>more sad than you? Me? I was very sad. I

101
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>spent an entire year doing fundraising to get the funds

102
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to put this on. There were people on the internet

103
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>who think that this is like sponsored by the city

104
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>they give us zero dollars that they get sponsored by

105
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>like the county they give us zero dollars. So the

106
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>funds one hundred percent of these funds come from businesses

107
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>who support this. So again, I understand you were disappointed.

108
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>You can get to see the fireworks. I was way

109
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>more disappointed. But here's what happened a couple of years

110
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 1>ago when the people were canceling everything else. I had

111
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>people calling me at noon when it was raining out

112
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and I was out at the fairgrounds putting up flags

113
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and banners in the rain. Two years ago, I had

114
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>people calling saying when are you going to cancel? And

115
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I say, well, it looks like it's going to be

116
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>nice tonight, so we're not going to cance. Literally had

117
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>an old man and a car pull up mocking me

118
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>for being out in the rain, saying, well, you're more

119
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>optimistic than me. So I'm a very optimistic dude, and

120
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I was hoping Friday night that we would have the

121
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>same type of thing happened where the weather just waited

122
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>long enough and it looked like it was going to

123
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>as well. We were able to start the event. We

124
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>got about halfway through the event before we finally had

125
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>to stop. But sadly, the last two years we had

126
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>forecasts for rain and we didn't get rain, and we

127
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>were one of the only fireworks events that actually happened.

128
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Last year and the year before, many other places canceled.

129
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the first time we've ever had to cancel

130
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>because of rain. We've never canceled for any reason, and

131
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the JCS did this for about sixty years. They had

132
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>two rainouts in sixty years. So there's some people online

133
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>that were like, oh, this thing always gets canceled. Nope,

134
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong, completely wrong. Reach out. I'd love to chat

135
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>with you and tell you what happens, because that's never happened.

136
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you're thinking of, but it's not

137
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>this thing. So again, big thank you, all the volunteers,

138
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 1>all the sponsors, and I want to say thank you

139
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>to my wife because my goodness, she wish. First of all,

140
00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>she puts up with me not doing my job around

141
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 1>here for about two months because I'm working on that.

142
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 1>But also she was trying to defend the fireworks online

143
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>as people were being because some people keyboard Warriors on here.

144
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is horrible. I get it. You're disappointed that

145
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have fireworks. I guarantee you we were far

146
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 1>more disappointed than you were. Here's the good news. Let's

147
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 1>put that in the past. Let's look at the future.

148
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Twenty twenty six, America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. We're

149
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>going to have the fireworks that we're going to raise
