I'm a State Fair fanatic. 6 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:15.960 I don't know when I'm gonna go, but I'm gonna 7 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:17.960 get out there a couple of times. Give us just 8 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.120 how's it looking so far? 9 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.519 It's as big as I've ever seen it. I mean, 10 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.719 it was roaring and ready to go. Started with the 11 00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.440 commodities breakfast yesterday morning, the opening ceremonies at the Governor 12 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.679 and Commissioner Shell and David Beck and the whole team. 13 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.879 It looks really good out there at the fairgrounds. And 14 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.600 I always love the State Fair. Got to say thank 15 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.000 our first responders that are out there getting to know 16 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.520 the public a little bit. And I'm excited to go 17 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:40.920 back again myself with Rachel. 18 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.560 The sights and sounds and the smells, I tell you what, 19 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.039 all the different options when it comes to food. I 20 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.479 know you were very mindful of what you put into 21 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:49.799 your body, and a lot of the food that the 22 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.520 Fair not so healthy do you have if you had 23 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.799 the burger with the donut bun. 24 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.640 I've not had the donut burger or the flaming Cheetos 25 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.399 corn which is the new which is the new one? 26 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.000 But I tell you what, I what I actually like 27 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.159 going out there for. I eat honey, local honey every day, 28 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.239 and so I love going out to the State Fair 29 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.519 every year, meeting some of the beekeepers, finding some new 30 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.959 honeys from somewhere in Kentucky for the for the coming months. 31 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.719 So I know that's not quite as good as a 32 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.439 funnel cake. I'll have a buye to that, dear. 33 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.319 Yeah, I'm I'm pretty simple. Just the Kentucky proud pork 34 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.200 saandwich is something that that I enjoy. 35 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.000 The one right out there in front of Freedom Hall. 36 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.560 Those guys I think his name is Jim Bob. We 37 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.840 had some of his corn yesterday. He's got a great 38 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:30.840 place right there. 39 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.040 Yeah, the corn dogs, the corn itself, a lot of 40 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.879 good food at the fair. So I'm excited to get 41 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.079 out there. But when it comes to just the week 42 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.200 that we've had here in Louisville, I do believe some 43 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.560 of the unfortunate things might have distracted folks from some 44 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.319 awesome news when it comes to the investments made five 45 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.560 billion dollars total when it comes to GE and for 46 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.760 their investment in the future. And then a hometown company 47 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.079 that's made us proud, Texas Roadhouse, continuing to invest here 48 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.959 and they're going to stick around. Obviously, very very big 49 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:58.560 for the city. 50 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.200 Yeah, this has been so definitely a week of highs 51 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.599 and lows. With the murder, tragic murder that we had 52 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.120 at the bus stop as well, we have just shown 53 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.879 what great economic momentum we have, what great momentum we 54 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.919 have in creating good paying jobs of the future right 55 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.759 here in Louisville. With Ford and GE and Texas Roadhouse, 56 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.240 we've established ourselves as the center of the universe for 57 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.639 advanced manufacturing opportunities for all industries. Texas Roadhouse is part 58 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.159 of our growing food and beverage industry that we have here. 59 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.000 And you know, it all really ties together because of 60 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.960 course there was focused this week as well as it 61 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.039 should be on this tragic murder at the bus stop. 62 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.840 Long term, we need to create more opportunities for people. 63 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.719 As young people have more opportunities in life, they're going 64 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.439 to go down a better path than choosing one that 65 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.960 results in gun violence and so creating more jobs, having 66 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.520 businesses invest in here. That's all part of our public 67 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:49.240 safety solution. 68 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.639 When these companies decide to reinvest stick around. What is 69 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.560 it As the mayor of the city, what do you 70 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.919 get from feedback as far as what they like, things 71 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:01.439 that really make it to where this is where they 72 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:01.840 want to be. 73 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:03.840 Well, there are several things. You know. 74 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:05.800 First, that has to be an easy place to do business. 75 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.039 And so you know, Kevin Nolan and ge the governor 76 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.280 and Secretary. Nol and their team worked very closely with 77 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.759 Trevor Paul and our Louisville Economic Development Lines and me 78 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.960 to put a package together that was a competitive process 79 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.520 that we had to win. Louisville has to be placed 80 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.879 an easy place to invest, an easy place to create job. 81 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.199 You look at forward, they've had great They have twelve 82 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.719 thousand employees here already. They know the strength of our workhorse, 83 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.560 they know the quality of the people that are in Louisville. 84 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.479 We are a Ford town, sure, and so that we 85 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.439 were able to talking to their team give them confidence 86 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.039 to invest as much as they have in Louisville and 87 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.919 in the surrounding communities. Here, and then of course Texas 88 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.319 Roadhouse started by a Louisvillion Kent Taylor, who fortunately passed 89 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.159 away too early, but his team is still They might 90 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.280 have Texas in their name, but they've got Louisville in 91 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.960 their heart. And what a great culture that is they're now, Nick, 92 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.000 I don't think a lot of people realize this Texas 93 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.319 Roadhouse is now the number one casual dining restaurant in America. 94 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.719 They just surpassed Olive Garden, that's the biggest restaurant in 95 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.120 America by revenue, based out of louisvill Kentucky. 96 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.120 I think that that accomplishment led to people realizing just 97 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.599 their growth. They're on fire right now, not only them, 98 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.720 but the concept the other concepts that they have that 99 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.319 are super popular. And I'll admit maybe it's just ignorance 100 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.600 on my part. It took me a while when I 101 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.519 was younger to even realize they're local here. I guess 102 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.560 maybe because it's Texas, But I don't know, you know, 103 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399 I'm sure if I looked hard enough, I may find somebody, 104 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.000 But I don't know many people that don't love Texas Roadhouse. 105 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.879 That's right, and they've got two other great concepts in 106 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.279 Bubba's thirty three and Jaggers that are growing as well. 107 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:38.639 So I'm excited for their future. 108 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.120 Yeah, no doubt. I remember sort of it being a 109 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.720 realization to a lot of people, Wow, not only are 110 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.759 they local, but man, they're they're killing it. And again 111 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.279 that that to outpass Olive Garden. That's that's the number one. 112 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.279 That's there's nobody better good stuff, no doubt. All right. 113 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.839 So when it comes to just the community, because it 114 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.720 seems to from my position here talking in a microphone 115 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.519 for four hours every morning, I feel like the heightened 116 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:04.000 awareness of the violence is seemingly at an all time 117 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.240 high from those that maybe just don't even try to 118 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.240 look for what's going on because they just live their 119 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.759 day to day lives. If somebody wants to say, Okay, 120 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.279 I'm not sure what I could do, but hey, I'd 121 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:15.959 like to help in any way that I can. I'm 122 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.519 just a citizen that wants to see the community do better, 123 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.800 and they're helpless as far as knowing what they can do. 124 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.240 What are their options? 125 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.079 I mean, there's something that everyone can do. You might 126 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.079 not realize it, but here are just a few things. 127 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.439 If there's a young person that's anywhere in your circle 128 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.399 of your life that you think needs a little help, 129 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.240 that needs a little support, that might not have the 130 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.759 strength of a strong parent at home, or other things 131 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.519 to help them get a new direction. You can reach out. 132 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.680 You can if you know somebody. If you own guns, 133 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.399 make sure your guns are locked up at home and 134 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.040 in the car. Be a responsible gun owner. If you 135 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.240 have cameras on your business or on your home, particularly 136 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.959 your business, you can connect those to our real time 137 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.680 crime center so the police have easy access to the 138 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.319 exterior cameras if they're needed. If none of those apply 139 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.199 to you, you can always volunteer. We have great organizations 140 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.439 like the Why, like Big Brothers, Big Sisters, like Boys 141 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.560 and Girls Club that are always looking for quality adults 142 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.399 that are going to provide positive mentorship to youth that 143 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.120 don't have that at home and could use a little 144 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.800 help in life. And then of course people in the 145 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.079 professional world, I mean judges, they need to hold people 146 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.879 accountable when they commit crimes and our police arrest them, 147 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.439 they need to hold them accountable. Legislators they can pass 148 00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.600 some more laws to give us even more ability to 149 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.800 take illegal guns off of their streets. So there is 150 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.639 something in the here that everyone can do, and I'm 151 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.800 hoping this brings our I know people are angry, I 152 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.839 know people are upset. I certainly am mad as hell. 153 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.279 But let's all come together and channel this anger into action. 154 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.160 That's what we need to do after a trategy like this. 155 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.360 I think when you are a young teenager, maybe even 156 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.639 a little bit younger than that, you're so impressionable and 157 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.839 if no one has been able to really make an 158 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.000 impression on you in a positive way, it could be 159 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.240 somebody making impression on you in a very negative way 160 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.399 and you don't realize it, but you attach yourself to it. 161 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.759 And that's just one of the things that you know, 162 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:08.920 if you're somebody that has some time on your hands 163 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.959 and you'd love to mentor somebody, I mean that could 164 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.839 that could literally change someone's life and of course help 165 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:14.759 improve the situation. 166 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.600 Everybody is looking for a sense of belonging. Everyone wants 167 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.480 to be part of a titan a group, and you know, 168 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.519 it's it' human nature, right, and so for most of 169 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.560 us that's our starts with our family, and we're fortunate 170 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.839 to be born into a loving family that provides support 171 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.480 to us. But that's not the case for everybody. There 172 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.839 are far too many people that are born into challenging, 173 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.639 impoverished situations in our community today and it's not being 174 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.360 provided by a parent or a guardian. And so that's 175 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.519 where these other organizations, that's where other people can come in. 176 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.639 That's where teams at schools can come in. JCPS plays 177 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.720 a big role in what they do, but they can't 178 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.160 be held responsible alone. You know, we need parents and 179 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.079 everyone else in the community to help out. 180 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.839 And that's you know, all we can do is is 181 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.040 encourage change and provide ways in which people can But 182 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.439 just the mindset that we have to tell people that 183 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.759 they're responsible for their kids, it's still something that's baffling 184 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.079 to me. But I mean it was reiterated by Chief 185 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.399 Humphrey a few weeks ago, and obviously doctor Yearwood said 186 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.120 it when speaking earlier this week. 187 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.160 So yeah, Nick, let me add one more thing to 188 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:17.160 my list that I forgot because I usually start with this, 189 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.759 but it's still it's still early. The one other thing 190 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.560 that people can do is if you know anything about 191 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.160 a crime, let the police know. You can do it 192 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.480 anonymously five seven four LMPD. If you're not comfortable making 193 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.039 that phone call, tell somebody else who might do that. 194 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.960 We need to know there are people who are at 195 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.480 the bus stop that saw this shooting happen, that have 196 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.320 seen certain crimes happen. Let us know so we can 197 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.960 hold those individuals responsible. 198 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.360 The father of one of the teenagers that was arrested 199 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.200 seeing that he was the one that turned his son, 200 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.320 and that's certainly an awful situation all the way around. 201 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.039 But if more people did that, that can only help. 202 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.480 Absolutely. I hope everyone sees that interview with They're powerful father, 203 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:02.440 very powerful. Providing information to hold people accountable is safer 204 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.600 for the person who's responsible, and it's much safer for 205 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:07.240 our community. 206 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.240 Mayor Greenberg is with us here on news radioate fort 207 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.279 E WHS. One more thing I wanted to talk about. 208 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.039 I know that there's been some efforts to really make 209 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.840 Bargetown Roads safer, more and more enjoyable for everyone. What 210 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.000 I mean, clearly there's been some things in the works 211 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.919 for a while now, But what's the plan moving forward 212 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.159 in order to get Bargetown Road back to what you 213 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:24.600 want it to be. 214 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.720 Yeah, So earlier this summer, there were some issues with 215 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.559 some large groups gathering that were unruly and doing things 216 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.279 that are not permitted, and so we wanted to take action. 217 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.960 Bargetown Road is one of our great streets and great 218 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.559 in great neighborhoods in our community. It's got great restaurants, 219 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:42.679 great retail, great bars, and of course surrounded by great neighborhoods. 220 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.200 That's what we want is we want a thriving, balanced 221 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.879 neighborhood where there's commercial things going on as well as residential. 222 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.840 And it got a little bit out of whack earlier 223 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.000 this summer, so we took action. And one of the 224 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.279 things we did we're always looking for new ways because 225 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.200 the police can't solve any one of these problems that 226 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.000 we're talking about on their own. We need we need 227 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.120 to do other things as well. So one new thing 228 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.200 that we're doing released earlier recently, here is a new 229 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.559 survey and it's not just for Bargetown Road. It's for 230 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.039 people anywhere across the city. A survey that people can 231 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.519 provide what they view. You know, are there bars, clubs 232 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.679 in their neighborhood that are causing big issues, negative influences. 233 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.320 We want people to be specific just a complaint. It's 234 00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.399 not a social media comments sectionific information. We're looking for 235 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:31.320 specific information because every year when some of these places 236 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.519 come up for renewal, there's an opportunity to consider public sentiment, 237 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.519 and so we want to have that considered. And I'm 238 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:41.240 thrilled that we've gotten over six hundred survey responses already 239 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.840 just since Tuesday when we release this that. 240 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.200 That's good to hear people who live there they care 241 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.960 about that community in that area. 242 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.240 And if you don't live on the Bargetown Road corridor, 243 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.960 we've got a survey up as well on ABC's website 244 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.080 for any other part of the community if they are 245 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.000 establishments that are causing problems in your neighborhood. I know 246 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.639 the vast majority of our vast, fast, vast majority, nearly 247 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.960 all of our restaurants and bars are great citizens. Louisville 248 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.279 is a hospitality town. We want people to have fun here. 249 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.080 You just got to do it by the rules. And 250 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.240 there are a couple that are really causing problems for everyone. 251 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.440 That's what we want to focus on is those very 252 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.279 few institutions that are causing the issues. 253 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.279 All Right, I know you've got a chance to see 254 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.519 some Louisville football this week at practice. Give me some 255 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.279 insight info. 256 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.799 How are we looking well, looking very good to me, 257 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:27.840 looking like if I took one of those tackles, I 258 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.799 would never get up. 259 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.639 Same here, we look like we have a really good team. 260 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.279 Of course, I'm no expert, but I've got great faith 261 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.840 in coach Brahm and his entire coaching team. I got 262 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.600 a chance to meet a couple of players who seem 263 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.759 like wonderful young men, and so I'm really excited about 264 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.080 this year's football season. And you know the fact that 265 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.399 we were left out of the top twenty five, hopefully 266 00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.759 that's a little extra motivation for the team to just 267 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.159 prove the world that the Cards are going to be 268 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.039 on a roll this year. 269 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.639 Yeah. I don't know if they were looking for any 270 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.039 added motivation, but it was there, especially considering that off 271 00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.600 to such a good start with good momentum in the 272 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.840 first two years of the Jeff Brown era. But yeah, 273 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.200 it's still crazy. He's back home. Nobody better to lead 274 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.759 Louisville football than a brom. 275 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.799 And I'm really excited. We have eight home games this year, 276 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.919 so we have more for the fans. That's gonna be 277 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:10.960 fun for this town. 278 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.840 No doubt. Craig, thank you as always for your time. 279 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.200 Keep up, keep it up, keep keep on doing what 280 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.600 you're doing. And I know there's a lot that goes 281 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.120 into it, but appreciate you. 282 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.360 Thanks so much, Nick.

She's out there every day. 372 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.559 She was out there yesterday, kick it off. 373 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.759 Walk around the fair. 374 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:06.919 Couples are great, the ones with the arrow and the 375 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.399 T shirt says, I'm was stupid. I mean it's it is, 376 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:10.840 It's fantastic. 377 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.120 They still about the yard stick. That was a big deal. 378 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.480 Well, and back in the day used to give away 379 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.159 free cigarettes. Yeah, yeah, cigarettes. They would just give cartons 380 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.480 of cigarettes out at the State Fair. 381 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:22.480 I O the line was down down. 382 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.840 The block is there still? Can you still get an 383 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.120 invisible dog on a leash? There? I wanted. I wanted 384 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.279 an invisible dog on a leash. They still have those, 385 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:30.799 I don't know. 386 00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.120 Or moccasins. You should be able to you should be 387 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.320 able to get the moccasin shoes or boots out. 388 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:36.120 There have you? 389 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.919 So the and this is just me being a nerd. 390 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.159 Each county has a booth. Yeah, they they're they're I guess, 391 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:46.360 trying to sell what makes them special, what they're known for. 392 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.919 And that always interests me because you know, we have 393 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.200 a lot of counties in this state compared to its others. 394 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.519 And uh yeah, that's just one of those things like 395 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.240 there's little like for example, my father's family originally is 396 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.639 from from Greensburg, Green County and the Doomas Walker song 397 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.480 like that shs from the Slowburger fries and a bottle 398 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.480 of ski. So they always have some reference of ski 399 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.160 in their in their booth. And I don't know, I 400 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.559 just I think that because that's I always. 401 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.160
