<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. You know. I like a good street party.

8
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and it's coming up on October fifth, on a

9
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Saturday between fourth and fifth on Dewey Avenue, and it's

10
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 3>going to be here before you know it. We are

11
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 3>on the countdown, yes we are.

12
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, this is one of the best

13
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>outdoor events we got going on. You got it right

14
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>here at the pretty pretty pretty time of the year

15
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 1>and there's going to be a lot of fun in

16
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 1>the air, a lot of things to do. But this

17
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>year it's a more family inclusive. It's really something for everyone.

18
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>This year it is.

19
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 3>It's a family fantastic event. We have a certain deveener

20
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 3>pubbet so we have numerous story times telling stories of

21
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>the Dash on the dashun and talking of about the

22
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 3>different cultures. If anyone has ever read of the love

23
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>stories of Heidi, tales of the magical postcards about some

24
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 3>children who travel to Germany and learn about all the

25
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 3>German heritage and culture. We also have a special story

26
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 3>time about a goat called Once upon a Goat, and

27
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 3>then of course of the loved Hansel and Gruttle. So

28
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 3>we hope that kids and families and parents and grandparents,

29
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 3>aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters will come out and

<v Speaker 3>these bags that the kids get to fill with all

33
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 3>kinds of art supplies, storytelling of course, like I said,

34
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 3>the pumpkin paigning, the acts throwing. A fun thing that

35
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 3>has become a tradition now is root beer pong, and

36
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 3>it's so fun to watch a thing we've played that.

37
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 3>But we also this year have a root beer garden,

38
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.079

00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 3>play some root beer pong, have a root beer float,

40
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.200

<v Speaker 3>have amazing food. We have a food vendor called Get Toasted.

46
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 3>People have seen that in my office for the last

47
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 3>three months and they're like, is that like a bar

48
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 3>cart And I'm like, no, it's like French toast, Like

49
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 3>you have waffles and chicken, but this is like French

50
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 3>toast and chicken, so it's kind of a play on

51
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 3>beloved French Toast. They have savory dishes, they have sweet dishes,

52
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>and of course we have Prices Meat Market who brings

53
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 3>all the delicious German food. New to us is Jack Barbecue.

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 3>We have Palace Rooms who is bringing their delicious vessels

55
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>and some nice wine. We have Anything but Hate coming

00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 3>super and Mill Scissor Tail will also bring back their

57
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 3>delicious beer. And in fact, I was just talking to

58
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>Chris last week and he is going to have some

59
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 3>wonderful october Fest beer that he's bringing. So we're very

60
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>excited about that.

61
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be one for the books. We

62
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 1>also have so much great entertainer is coming our way too.

63
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>We do.

64
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 3>We have the German American of Society Tulsa Dancers, they

65
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>will be coming, and then we have three live bands.

66
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 3>We have Blos Capella, Mark Schnell and of course the

67
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>beloved Kings Cabbage, who will be playing traditional Polka music

68
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>with some twists on it. And of course everyone has

69
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 3>to do the Chicken dance at least one hundred times

70
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 3>at Octoberfest, so we can't wait for that. We are

71
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 3>also bringing back our very popular beer sign relay and

72
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 3>our beer sign competition, and neither of those are easy,

73
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 3>but I think it's really fun to watch the beer sign.

74
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, if people look at this one leader at

75
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 3>beer and they think, oh, I can do it, that's

76
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>not a problem. You know, with the mugs last it

77
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>weighs quite a bit. Then you have the beer to it.

78
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 3>And even my son in law, he's out of the army,

79
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>who thought, oh this is no problem as you can

80
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 3>use very strong. He was flooding at the end and

81
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 3>his arm was shaky. I don't know if he's done

82
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 3>anything to prepare for this year, but you know, start

83
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 3>listing your ways and start practicing. It's not as easy

84
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>as it looks. We also have a raffle tom, a

85
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 3>really cool yetti filled with all kinds of German goodies

86
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 3>and so it's a really cute. It's kind of a

87
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 3>bright blue color, on wheels and so I think everybody

88
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 3>will really like this YETI it's fun, it's very october festish,

89
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 3>but it's also kind of supportive of the Bruins. So

90
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 3>it's one that is perfect for Bartlesville.

91
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>My goodness, you've got it all going on. Now, how

111
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>that they can do both. They can come out and

112
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.240

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 1>This sounds like it's going to be great fun as always,

119
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.040

120
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.879

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 3>eighteen and under are free and please go buy your

153
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 3>tickets at okmusic dot org or come to see us.

154
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 3>We would love to see everybody at the office at

155
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 3>four fifteen South.

156
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Dey, Maryland before we go. Do you need volunteers?

157
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I know this is going to be a big undertaking

158
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and you got a lot more going on.

159
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you still need folks to help out?

160
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 3>We would love to have folks. You know, we can

161
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>never have too many volunteers helping us set up hair down.

162
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 3>If you want to come help usher in people to

163
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 3>see the puppet show, or if you want to sign

164
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 3>up to help work the gate, if you want to

165
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 3>help work some of the kids events, we always need

166
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 3>help and you know it takes an entire town these events,

167
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 3>So we would love to have volunteers, especially if you

168
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 3>need service hours at the high school for one of

169
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 3>your programs or whatnot. That's a good way for kids

170
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 3>to get those service hours out, or if you just

171
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>like to volunteer. All of our volunteers get in free.

172
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 3>We also give them a food boucher to say thank you.

173
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's a win win for both OKM

174
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 3>and those who come and volunteer.

175
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I think so too, mary Lynn, thank you very much

176
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>for being with us today.

177
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much, Tom, thank you for always hosting us,

178
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.600
