Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 2: It's time now for our community connection right here on
Speaker 2: K one, the one you trust. It is eight thirty
Speaker 2: four and we have a Ria Gus, we have Christina
Speaker 2: Bishop and some guy who walked in here. How are
Speaker 2: we doing great? I'm doing okay. I'm all about Eldercare.
Speaker 2: Is the good, the bad, and the barbecue. But I
Speaker 2: don't know about this guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know. He just picked him off the street.
Speaker 1: He said he was a barbecue expert.
Speaker 4: I'm big, bad billy. Oh sometimes it's sweet, William. It
Speaker 4: depends on whether we get that saddle on the horse
Speaker 4: just right.
Speaker 2: I understand, I understand. Now, Christina, we've got a big event.
Speaker 3: We have a huge event.
Speaker 5: Tell us about it, the good, the bad, and the barbecue.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, it is.
Speaker 5: Our annual fundraiser and it helps us provide services all
Speaker 5: year long.
Speaker 1: And Eldercare deserves it. My got you whatt forty one
Speaker 1: years now close to it. It's just going on. And
Speaker 1: the barbecue is a little bit younger.
Speaker 3: A little bit seven years worth.
Speaker 5: The huge ranch, the beautiful historic hues ranch.
Speaker 2: Now this I got to tell you. The setting is awesome.
Speaker 2: First of all, you you come in off the highway
Speaker 2: and you say, well, where's the ranch because you got
Speaker 2: to drive a little bit now, very pretty little road,
Speaker 2: very scenic, and then all of a sudden it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: there it is.
Speaker 5: It is just fabulous and we are so grateful to
Speaker 5: be there.
Speaker 2: And now, Maria, this is one of the things that
Speaker 2: is a real kind of a boost here to us
Speaker 2: as a town because we have people coming in from
Speaker 2: all over there about Elert.
Speaker 3: I mean absolutely.
Speaker 6: One of the things that I like to say about
Speaker 6: Bartlesville is that if you can't find something to do,
Speaker 6: then you're not looking hard enough. And a lot of
Speaker 6: times our events are those things that sort of supplement
Speaker 6: all the great restaurants and retail outlets and uh, you know,
Speaker 6: tourism activities that we have. Is these really great fundraisers
Speaker 6: and even though it's a fundraiser for elder care, it's
Speaker 6: still sort of.
Speaker 3: A getaway, right.
Speaker 6: It's community, but not everybody gets to see the Hughes Ranch,
Speaker 6: you know, that's not something that you can just go
Speaker 6: hang out anytime. So it's really fantastic of the Hughes family,
Speaker 6: especially Robert and all of his crew and everything that
Speaker 6: they do to make sure that we can get there
Speaker 6: and enjoy that beautiful setting.
Speaker 3: It's special. Whether you're from Bartlesville or not, you should
Speaker 3: come check it out.
Speaker 1: You know something, Christina.
Speaker 2: It's like fifteen minutes from anybody's door, but it could
Speaker 2: be a million miles away just because of how nicely
Speaker 2: and gently secluded it is.
Speaker 5: You just feel like you're someplace really really special. You're
Speaker 5: far away, and it is gorgeous. The home is amazing.
Speaker 5: The artwork, the artwork is incredible.
Speaker 1: Yes, Now, if you have a little set up, like
Speaker 1: a special ticket, you.
Speaker 3: Can do Can we have a VIP ticket?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 5: And I think this is really great if you're a couple,
Speaker 5: and maybe you don't need a whole table, but you
Speaker 5: want that VIP experience.
Speaker 3: You want to go to the patron party.
Speaker 5: You want to go see that historic home, the artwork,
Speaker 5: the furniture, oh my goodness, and maybe even get to
Speaker 5: talk to Robert.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you can do that too.
Speaker 3: Robert will talk to anybody.
Speaker 1: Now, Billy, you've been out to the risk, Oh.
Speaker 7: I've been out to the range a few times. Rustle
Speaker 7: up a couple of good times.
Speaker 4: I may be big and I may be bad, but
Speaker 4: I'm not bad about throwing a good party.
Speaker 1: This is a great party.
Speaker 4: It's a great party, and it's going to be wilder
Speaker 4: than a kylete on a hot skillet? Tom, have you
Speaker 4: ever seen a chileote on a hot skillet? I don't
Speaker 4: recommend it. Let me tell you that's a good time.
Speaker 4: We're going to have barbecue from Dinks.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good best.
Speaker 4: I'm always better at the bar as the official unofficial
Speaker 4: Sheriff of the barbecue event, officially the unofficial Sheriff. Dnk's
Speaker 4: Pitt Barbecue has always catered this event, and you will
Speaker 4: never have barbecue this good again in your life.
Speaker 7: It's the best barbecue this side of the Pecos River.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, I'm not kidding because many years ago
Speaker 6: I used to work with Christina at Eldercare.
Speaker 3: I love Eldercare. My grandmother was a client there.
Speaker 6: But I will tell you, and I told Jim this
Speaker 6: years ago, the barbecue just tastes better at the good,
Speaker 6: the bad, and the barbecue.
Speaker 7: It does it just does.
Speaker 3: They do something special to it.
Speaker 6: A little big bad billy magic William.
Speaker 1: To the barbecue exactly. Now, how do we get our tickets.
Speaker 1: Where do we go? Can we get them at the gate?
Speaker 3: I don't well, I don't know.
Speaker 4: The sheriff's deputies mind be out there trying to keep
Speaker 4: that from happening. You can get those tickets online at www.
Speaker 7: Dot About, Eldercare dot org.
Speaker 4: Forward slash BBQ and that stands for barbecue, not big
Speaker 4: by Quinton.

Speaker 1: Can we get it?
Speaker 4: Well, you can get the VIP ticket there as well,
Speaker 4: and that's five hundred dollars a person, which is going

Speaker 4: the eatery Salman the eatery, there's gonna be a signature cocktail,
Speaker 4: there's wine, there's beer for those who are participating in that,
Speaker 4: and then all the food is delicious.
Speaker 7: Plus you get, as they said, you tour the Hughes.
Speaker 4: Ranch House and you can sit there and shoot the
Speaker 4: bulls Robert all night.
Speaker 3: Yes, and I want to say too.
Speaker 6: You know, Hughes Ranch has been a location in the
Speaker 6: last couple of years, not only for a film but
Speaker 6: also for a television show. So if you want to
Speaker 6: see where these shows are, you know, Sarah's Oil is
Speaker 6: the film that's coming out that was filmed last year.
Speaker 6: Zachary Leviy's in it. It's about a young woman that
Speaker 6: made her fortune here in Oklahoma, a young black woman.
Speaker 6: And then also Sterlin Harjo's new TV show, The Sensitive Kind.
Speaker 6: So if you want to see the backstage, you know,
Speaker 6: the Oklahoma back lot, come on out to the barbecue.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be really cool to see that. Yeah, so great,
Speaker 6: so fun. I've gotten to hang out with Robert a
Speaker 6: lot the last few months. And because that TV show
Speaker 6: is producing and it is Oklahoma, there's no setting like Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: There's no setting like the US ranch. So you really
Speaker 3: should come check it out.
Speaker 7: Hey, we also have some good music. And you know
Speaker 7: that old boy from Pahusky, that's right, that's right, Louke
