Speaker 3: We do and it's called curt Delay. It's a dog
Speaker 3: puppet show which has it's like a little wiener dog,
Speaker 3: you know, and the pretzels, and we have story time,
Speaker 3: and we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna do.
Speaker 3: Things about the German for German story time, the story
Speaker 3: about the Little Doxy, and then we'll have music and
Speaker 3: story time together and all the children will be able
Speaker 3: to participate.
Speaker 1: In all of that.
Speaker 3: And then we're going to close out again with a Puppets,
Speaker 3: the same puppet show. So if you've missed it the
Speaker 3: first time and weren't able to come, you can see
Speaker 3: it twice or come later in the evening.
Speaker 2: Now I see, we have a lot of other things
Speaker 2: going on, all kind of at the same time, bouncy
Speaker 2: houses and all that.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, we have all kinds of things. We have
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun.
Speaker 3: We have cookie decorating. We have the pretzel necklace that
Speaker 3: they can make and string and if they can eat

Speaker 3: and then we're gonna have root beer floats.
Speaker 4: Oh, so kind of the difference is, you know, we
Speaker 4: always have a traditional beer garden tent, but this year
Speaker 4: we have that for the adults.
Speaker 1: But then we also have a root.
Speaker 4: Beer Garden tent and so I can't come out and
Speaker 4: you can play a non finding game while you're sipping
Speaker 4: on either root beer floats or just sipping on a
Speaker 4: root beer. And then because it's become a family favorite
Speaker 4: to have these contests, we will have the beer root
Speaker 4: beer pond set up in the tent and then there
Speaker 4: are prizes and they get to take a mug home,
Speaker 4: and so yeah, it should be fun. We also have
Speaker 4: a sausage toss, so not real sausages, but fake little
Speaker 4: brats that they can toss and win a prize. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, if there's so much to do, and then
Speaker 4: what we've added going to back what Rose was saying
Speaker 4: is the Cerk Do Wiener Dog puppet show. But then
Speaker 4: in between the shows, we also have story times with
Speaker 4: over five books that will be read, and then at
Speaker 4: each series where you attend the book reading and there
Speaker 4: may be more than one.
Speaker 1: Story read at each session.
Speaker 4: They'll also get a little prize or a present that
Speaker 4: reflects kind of the memory and the.
Speaker 1: Theme of that book.
Speaker 4: So again free to all families for children eighteen and under.
Speaker 4: Ten dollars per adult tickets, so not too bad.
Speaker 1: Cheaper.
Speaker 4: Then go into a movie, and then let's talk about
Speaker 4: the adult stuff.

Speaker 2: were ok and they got all this energy. I said, well,
Speaker 2: you know, if you believe in something, you're going to
Speaker 2: just be. It's not even work because it's just the
Speaker 2: labor of love.
Speaker 4: A world without music would be very sad. You know,
Speaker 4: we are here to bring music, education, music entertainment and
Speaker 4: promoter artist.
Speaker 1: That is what we do. And you know it does
Speaker 1: make a difference.
Speaker 4: I mean you look at just Sell who's interning for
Speaker 4: US stops and she's kind.
Speaker 1: I mean, she.
Speaker 4: Performs for us, and so we're in you know, we
Speaker 4: enable her to get to meet musicians and network and
Speaker 4: do all of those things. But at the same time,
Speaker 4: she's gaining other skills, you know, learning how to do
Speaker 4: web design, learning how to do marketing. She's been going
Speaker 4: out with Dad the past three weeks in person, just
Speaker 4: trying to help do development, do business development.
Speaker 1: So she's acquiring that skill.
Speaker 4: So I mean, it really does help and imagine the
Speaker 4: things that she can put on her resume, and and
Speaker 4: we hope that you know, both she and Mia and
Speaker 4: Malan all had a really good time interning. They said
Speaker 4: they did, and they said they learned a lot of
Speaker 4: new skills.
Speaker 1: So not only for the little.
Speaker 4: Kids who you can introduce the music to and educate
Speaker 4: and sort of try to tell teachers and parents the
Speaker 4: benefits of classical music, but.
Speaker 1: It also for our older kids.
Speaker 4: The volunteer opportunities, the internships, the scholarships that we give away.
Speaker 1: I think it does make a difference.
Speaker 4: And so Rose and I both are very enthusiastic about
Speaker 4: what we do, and we want to make a difference
Speaker 4: and hopefully spread some of this musical magic to all
Speaker 4: the citizens of Martlesville.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking a little bit of a magic. You guys
Speaker 2: do scholarships too, yes, and that's something that we never
Speaker 2: seem to talk about it though, but you know, at
Speaker 2: different times of the year we have the eligibility and
Speaker 2: the application process, but right there on the website can
Speaker 2: tell you all about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have three scholarships that we give away every year.
Speaker 4: We have the mem Scholarship, which is for children, well
