00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>of the event on Saturday at Houstt's in Brandon. But

22
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>that is that's the cherry on top. So there's a

23
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>whole big event that leads up to it. Let's talk

24
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>about what's happening on Saturday for the South Dakota Freedom Festival.

25
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, John, it starts off with four o'clock. We have

26
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a huge kid zone area, which is the venue. I

27
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>want to back up a little bit and thank HOUSTT

28
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Speedway for allowing us to be there at their venue.

29
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>But out on the asphalt out there, we're going to

30
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>have a kid zone. And so we've got like five inflatables,

31
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>face painting, touch a truck where the Armed services are there.

32
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Might even have a fire truck there too, And we

33
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>have mascots coming from all over the United States. Give

34
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you a little teaser globe. The mascot for the Harlem

35
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Globetrotters is going to be here. I think that's really cool.

36
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 2>John was the Utah Jazz Bear for twenty five thirty

37
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 2>years and he's going to be there. Yeah, he'll be here.

38
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. And then we got local guys Chris from

39
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the Storms coming nice and maybe another one. But they're

40
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>going to be run around having fun with the kids.

41
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a big family event. Food truck there, you know,

42
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 2>food's available, you know whatever.

43
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>The kids are sponsored by Black Hills Federal Credit Union.

44
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>A big thank you of them, and now that part

45
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is free. The kids area is free, right.

46
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is free. Bring your family out. It's rain

47
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 2>er shine, bring them out. It's going to be a blash.

48
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>And it's coming up this Saturday, September twenty first, I

49
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>remember when we started talking about this that felt like

50
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>so far away, and I remember when we first started

51
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about this, I committed that, yes, I'll be there

52
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to help, and then I also found out, Oh, I'm

53
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>also gonna be at Grand Falls. I don't know if

54
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>you heard the news they moved that the scheduled concert

55
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>for this Saturday has been postponed, like move back, so

56
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to leave, I don't have to try

57
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to be in two places at once. So I'm like, hey,

58
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you Sebastian Bach for moving your thing for me.

59
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 1>It was not my fault, but again it worked out

60
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>really nicely for me. Freedom Festival. Now we've got some

61
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>music as well. We've got a band called the Last

62
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Call Band from this area. They're going to start things

63
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>off at four pm and they do a great job.

64
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes they do, And if that was it, we would

65
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>already have a great event because we've got the kids area,

66
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>We've got a band, and we've got fireworks that we

67
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>talked about. But in addition to that, we've got three

68
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>really good national touring acts that are going to be

69
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>in town to help celebrate and honor veterans as well.

70
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we were excited about it, as Cole Caleb and Cam.

71
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Kerrie Boston, Cam Allen and Cole Hartley.

72
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean we're really excited because you probably already

73
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>heard their music. They're out there. They're really good too,

74
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>and so they're going to play all night long. We're

75
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>going to have a guest speaker also come, retired Colonel

76
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Galaghas coming from Hills Air Force Base in Utah.

77
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>He's going to come and speak to us too in

78
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>between stuff. It's a huge family but the bottom line

79
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>is all the veterans get in free, John, So every

80
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>veteran come, get in free. Kids twelve and under get

81
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 2>in free. So it's a huge family event. In all

82
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>the money that we raised from this event, we're given

83
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>to its Earmark for Midwest Honor Flight this year, so

84
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>we're giving back to the veterans. It's the right thing

85
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to do. I hope everybody's got time in their schedule

86
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.080
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday to stop on out to use the speedway

87
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>starting at four o'clock.

88
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's going to be a really, really good time

89
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be out there, and I hope

90
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>that you'll come out there again. If you're a veteran

91
