Man, what a great lead in on a Friday, the
sun's out. This is just a fun conversation. Thanks for
having us on.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Absolutely, Matt, so tell us a little bit about this.
And first of all, what is a cake walk? Because
you know, I kind of remember some of this as
a kid, you know, getting but it's been a long time.
You guys want to set a world record here the
largest cakewalk. It's free, it's family fun and if you're
looking to be a part of this tomorrow, folks can participate.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
You got it. Here's the deal. You don't even have
to stretch or do anything special to be able to participate. Basically,
what's gonna happen is you show up, and when you
show up, it's at the Special Olympics train facility on
sixty eighth Street, which is the old South Christian High
School for those of who have local roots to remember that.

(01:10):
But the music will play, you'll be given a number,
and when the music stops, you a numbers can be
called out and you can win one of ten big prizes.
But here's the deal with our cakewalk is everyone gets cake.
I'm gonna bring free vouchers for these these buntlet sized
cakes so that you can come to one of our
three bakeries and for free. It's about six dollars value.

(01:34):
You can pick out any flavor you want to. Just
think everyone's gonna win. The other thing about this event
that's great is it's this family fun event that is
going to have bounce houses, there's going to be dance parties,
there's gonna be live music, and right now things are
costing a lot of money. Something free is kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
That is is that kind of fun. That's really that's
really fun. A lot of parents, if you like me, Okay,
we got two and a four year old, You're always
looking for ways to like wear them out, and this
would be a great way to do that.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Actually, well, and we've partnered like we have in the past,
and that you're going to hear a little bit of
my competitive spirit. Come out here, but we partner with
Consumers Credit Union and we we put a spotlight on
amazing nonprofits when we do this event. So yes, we
want to set a world record, but we love this opportunity.

(02:29):
The shines spotlight on the special Olympics and also the
being a nice group and just elevate them and their cause,
and we're going to raise about five to ten thousand
dollars for them. The other thing is is we've done
this cakewalk in the past in West Michigan. We get
we had the world record in twenty seventeen, we beat

(02:50):
our world record in twenty eighteen, and then there's this
group out in Minnesota in twenty twenty two who decided
to beat us. And I know West Michigan you can
always punches well above its weight class. We need to
bring this world record back home here to the West Michigan.
But I need your help out there to make this happen.
There's no downside for you to participate. You get free cake,

(03:13):
you can win big prizes, and you get to have
a lot of fun and there's no cost to do it.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I love that there is a little bit of a
competitive nature. It sounds like in this too we got
to bring the bring the title back home. But as
you mentioned, ghost towards a good cause, special Olympics being
ie and of course bring the kids out have a
little fun. And and Joe, where's where can folks find
out more? Obviously, uh, we stop into the stores you
