We do, and I've noted that as we've gone along
here we have more and more to talk about it.

envisioned this. And people are sending in events, so thank you.
So I'll just yeah, I'll say that again. If there's

So all right, so what do we got, Well, lots
of really great fun things for dads this weekend or celebration.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What are you getting me?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, it appears Irish were Irish once she would just
hang out with you. It looks like I walked into
studio for those that don't know, and there's just a
big beautiful dog God greeting me and Irish and I think,
just want to go hang out the rest of the weekend,
but we can't be fine with that. I would love it.
I love it, And Irish is welcome back every Friday
(01:59):
that I'm here. I think, Okay, if we can make
that happen.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We're taking a dad dog day.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I love it. I love it. Well, let's talk about
some of the events going on this weekend. I want
to I want to talk about one of my favorite
places will stay on the trend of animals, the zoo
this weekend. Is there overnight they've got their campers correct, Yes,
and that's typically probably by the time I'm talking about
(02:24):
it already booked out. So you could call the zoo
and see if they've got any openings for shampers, crash
the door, your favorite line. But breakfast is at the
zoo tomorrow and I love breakfast at the Zoo. I
don't know if I can get my own household up.
They've already this morning. We're talking about how they're going
to sleep in tomorrow because we've just been running pretty
(02:44):
hard this week. But tomorrow morning breakfast at the Zoo
from eight to ten eight and it is a heck
of a spread. Eggs, the famous pancakes, as you know
that I break about.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They're virtually criminal.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yes, and then you know fun fIF tip if you
go later, sometimes you get seconds of the good extra pancakes,
but you do get early access to the zoo, and
the animals are very active in the morning, and we've
got a lot of babies again that showed up this spring.
So it's a really great time to be at the Zoo,
so members. If you're a zoo member, which I encourage
(03:18):
everybody to be, to get breakfast as ten dollars for adults,
five dollars for kids. If you are a non member,
then it's of course a little bit more because you've
got to pay for the admission, but it's twenty dollars
for adults and fifteen for kids. But it is absolutely
well worth it. So if you're looking for something fun
to do this weekend, breakfast at the zoo.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
There you go, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
And then we've got a fundraiser over at the seven
oh one venue.
Speaker 1 (03:41):

cool event that's being put on at our venue, the
seven oh one venue, So that's seventeen hundred East Main
and Mandan And it's a first time event. It's called
Bags for Babies.
Speaker 1 (03:58):

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Cornwall turnament yees, no babies. We're not giving out babies,
but we are fundraising for babies. So it is a
cornhole tournament being put on twenty five dollars per person
or fifty dollars a team. You can absolutely show up
as a single and they'll they'll match you up with
a partner, which can always be fun. There is Registration

(04:21):
contact information, but you can absolutely walk in tomorrow morning.

barbecue lunch that is available for goodwill donation. But if

All right? What else we got? We got We got
a little bit, a little bit bit of a cool
thing going on at Cross Ranch State Park.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, you want to talk about that now? I want
you to talk about well all right, so I just
I've talked about.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
This till we were blue in the face. I'm sure
that folks want to hear your voice.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I wow, okay, and I am sorry that I missed
that you had them on earlier to talk a little
bit about this. But the Missouri River, Yeah, the Missouri
River Bluegrass Festival is the nineteenth and twentieth so it
starts tonight six thirty to ten thirty and then tomorrow
Saturday starting at tenam. I remember talking about this last
year actually now, so this is a heck of a
lineup that they've got going on. Waddington Brothers and Jess Burdock,
(05:32):
Michael Pruitt call Robbie Soup. That's a fun one.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, I like to say that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
All right. So a couple couple of things at Cross
Ranch that I want to call out because I don't
want anybody to get there and then be angry because
they didn't know these things. So there's no smoking on site,
leave those and leave those in the car, no alcohol,
and no pets allowed in the concert area.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Sorry. So it's a beautiful park though. It's their thirty
fourth annual Missouri River Bluegrass Festival taking place at Cross
Rains Munch State Park outside of Center in North Dakota.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, and I want to give a highlight here to
Crosser in Street Park. They do an incredible job. There
is nothing for my money, As I'm sure you agree,
there's nothing like waking up in your tent or your
cat to you know, the sunrise or you know that
misty time of morning. Yeah, there's just nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Better Dewey Cissy Coffee right on the water. Maybe some
you know, somebody's got their fire already going, so you've
got the smell of a fire, which we can do.
Can Yeah, the burn bounds are lifted right now, which
is great thanks to all the rain that we've got.
But this event also has an admission required, so if
you can't get up there and you can't camp, but
(06:42):
you still want to attend, Friday is twenty dollars, Saturday
as thirty five, you can get a combo at forty
five dollars. Sixteen and under are free and it includes
your pricing or your parking. Excuse me, but it does
say bring your lawn chair and your bug spray because
the pests will be out. So one more time Missouri
River Bluegrass Festival across Ranch State Park Friday and Saturday
(07:04):
and a great lineup of artists that'll be performing tomorrow morning.
The one other thing that you know I love to
talk about, bis Market is taking place at Kawanas Park
tomorrow morning. A couple of things to highlight. They've got
Transition Yoga taking place at nine am. That's a fundraiser
for a couple of nonprofits, so you can bring some
(07:26):
cash to donate before your workout. But they also will
have live music. They have their vendors, BIS Market, the
team behind that. I don't know them personally, but they've
done just a lot of great work at playing together fun.
Everything they do they do. You're gonna get your fresh produce,
You're gonna get your baked goods. You're going to get
some gifts. I mean, the last time Harpbur and I
(07:46):
were there.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Get a white sheet cake.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Don we bought jewelry, I know, a harper poor thing
bought a parrot earrings and went to go put them
in and one went right down the stink. So we
need to go back and repurchase these really fun earnings.
To harder to do that. But so biz Market kicks
off at nine o'clock, but it is. It's really cool.
You can go get your fresh coffee, your fresh produce,
(08:10):
really whatever you want, just right, yeah, wander around.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's a great way to spend an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yes, it really is. Or two and I love the.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Fact that you know, neither you nor I have any
association or relationship with them, and yet we talk about that.
We do every single week that they're up.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Do you know why, because those things are so important
in our community, I think, and I know what it
takes to put those things on, so I want to
highlight them because of course, you know, that's that's what
I do for a living.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So and and I also want to say it is
very much the personality of a particular region in the country.
There's a I've been to one in New Orleans, for example, Lafayette, Charleston,
you know, up and down the East Virginia Beach. Say
it's it's very much captures the characteristics of a particular
community really really well.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, absolutely, And just supporting small businesses, you know, that's
I'm a big proponent of that as well. And that's
what they all are at their mom and pop shops
that you know work also probably full time jobs elsewhere
and in the meantime are making sour all Yes, yes, okay.
There's another fun event taking place in Jamestown this weekend.
(09:22):
Jimmy Yeah, Lake Jam Music Festival. And I'm I've not
heard of this. I don't remember talking about this before,

ax storing for the very first time you do it
was it was a lot of fun.

a location in Watford City, but I don't think they
have a rooftop there. Yeah, that is the O G
so Zeane Miller Trio band. This is a makeup session.
I had talked about it before, but they canceled due
to weather. The one little tiny disclaimer I researched, but
of course they weren't open this morning. I think from
what I recall, it's family friendly. Most of their concerts
(12:51):
on their rooftop are. But if you're listening, you're gonna
go check that out. Maybe check with them tomorrow, but
most most often their they're events on the rooftop family friend,
Yeah yep, so check with that. And then Crossroads has
a patio, a grand opening patio and over in Mandan

Perfectly blund I'm not a car person. I like looking
at him, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, that's right. I mean, I like driving one, but
that's about the extent of it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But I like driving them really fast, which I got
to do on a on a NASCAR track.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I was going to say speeding ticket, but okay, you
were on a track. You were on a track. Okay,
I'd like to drive fast too, But it turns out
there's lots Okay, so food vendors, and I just wanted
to mention Olives ice Cream. If you've never got a
treat from Olives ice Cream, that's a food truck that
is going to be at POCLK tomorrow at their Corvette show.
So eleven am registration and the show itself is from
(14:41):
one to four, Okay, and then let's see let's talk
about I've got a couple of minutes. Let's talk about
all of josettees that.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
She sent Mears Downtown Man, historic Man Dan Joseph Josette
Dupree is an incredible human being who has a cigar
shop that they just do it right. And I walked
in the other day for example. And I knew I
wasn't gonna get out of there for less than you know,
one hundred buhucks.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But perfect.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So but she got me some cigars that that I'm
gonna I'm really looking forward.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
To you then maybe on the boat this weekend.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I love a good cigar. I love a good cigar.
So she is traveling. These events are all over so tonight,
the nineteenth, there's an event called Straight Up and Toasted
at the Spot in may Not and it says, join
us for a delicious evening with Neely Fanmilybourbon and Kentucky
and cigars from Big Stick Cigars from five to ten tonight.
(15:42):
This is a ticketed event. They're fifty dollars, but I
want to let you know some of the things you
get with it, so don't let the fifty dollars scare you.
You can pre purchase those at downtownmyot dot com so
www downtown might dot com, or pick them up at
the Spot gourmet chef Margie's studio or Cookies for you downtown.
And that's a I mean a lot of these are
(16:02):
are really fun for Father's Day gifts. But your ticket
includes three pores of signature Neely Family Distillery. Bourbon. It's
a lot of bourbon talk for ten thirty in the
morning about I like it, and then fifteen dollars coupons.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
There's no time clock when it comes to Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
With bourbon, right, so but you know your one hundred
dollars purchase gets knocked down fifteen bucks. There's a fifteen
dollars coupon for a big six cigars, so check that and.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Tak for about half of a good scar so that
rips out.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Well, go ahead, yeah, No, there's something about summer nights
in Northaquinta and that's good cigar am Okay, Saturday, she's
on the move. She's at the Harbor Bar and Cole Harbor,
which we love the Harbor Bar as well. So this
is called bourbon tasting and cigars at Harbor.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, she's taking bourbon on the road.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yes, starting at three o'clock, excuse me, starting at three
o'clock there's a bartender throwdown, five girl blast. Yeah, they
throw down there there artists everybody, and they love showing
off their work. And so you know, I'm not a
bourbon sipper. I know that's like tragedy, but I love
a good drink with bourbon, and these bartenders make magic
(17:15):
with them, so I would be all about the throat on.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I was not a bourbon either.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
That's funny. I can tell by the look on your
face what you're suggesting. Fair. But then there's at five
point thirty a bourbon tasting. They're tasting four different bourbons
with their friends from Johnson Brothers. Thanks Johnson Brothers for
being there, and they'll be paired with cigars from Big Sticks.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So she's traveling, and go to her website and you
get a you'll get an idea, a really good idea
of where Joe Sett is going to be at any time,
because she brings the party with her.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
And I love this part. Donate to Cigars for Warriors.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes, I was going to bring that up.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, look at that. It's like we've done this before.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Either that we've like lost the same number of cells,
we're operating along the same.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Time, probably both of those things. But make a donation
and receive a free Shiner bock.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
And this is cool because what what Joette Josette does
is she puts together cigar care packages for the troops
that are stationed not only in war zones but overseas
uh uh and and she enables you to donate various
to various companies, to various uh to various park branches
of the military. It's a great organization, it really is.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And she highlights them all the time. So Harbor Bar tomorrow,
So we're gonna start off them mine not on Friday
at the spot, and we're gonna go to the Harbor
Bar in Cole Harbor. And then to wrap it up
on Sunday, she is back home at her home base
at Big six Cigar Loans. So celebrate dads in a
proper way. Head over there for food on Sundays.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
On on Father's Day, Josette will probably be really, really tired,
so she won't be so she won't be ringing up
every drink and everything complete. You need to go to
a commercial break. This is Dakota Morning Ziame. Your host,
Michael Bell kfy R five fifty AM, not a nine
point seven FM. We are joined in studio by Ddre
(19:12):
Hillman thirteenth Hat Events with Purpose. Welcome back to Dakota
Morning Zime. Your host Michael Bell. We are joined in
studio by Dedre Hillman thirteenth Hat Events with Purpose for
Dedra's dates and dats. Let's get to it all right.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, I have an event that the First Lady is
a part of, and I love anytime that she shares
an event.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
One of my favorite people in the entire of us. Yes,
we the smartest and kindest, one of the smartest and
kindest people I've ever encountered in my life.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
She really is. And when she puts.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Her she knows seven languages.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I think you did share that fun fact with me
before fluent fluent seven languages.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
She has a bar degree in Norway and she's and
she's barred here in North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well, I wonder if you could get her on before
this event. It's on June twenty four, so you've got
a little bit of time. Not really maybe, but maybe
she would call in maybe a call her.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
But I've been asking her for two and a half
years now.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh okay, that might be you a problem. Okay, So
I'll talk about the event. This is the MSA United Ways.
It's the very first ever community baby shower. I think
it's very cool how they're doing this. It is hosted
at the Governor's residence. They are asking for you to RSVP,
so you can do that by going to MSA United
(20:29):
Ways website or their social media and getting more details.
But it is June twenty fourth, from twelve fifteen to
one forty five minutes, and again you have to RSVP there.
I was on their website and so MSA does so
many things for our community, the Dolly Parton Imagination Libraries.
That's an awesome program that you know, we used to
(20:50):
participate in, the Backpack program. The Center for Opportunity down
on South twelfth Street. They offer additional education resources and mentorship.
And so this is a fundraiser. On their website, they've
got a list of things that they are fundraising for.
You can even nominate somebody that should be a shower recipient.
But it talks about how to donate and it looks
(21:13):
like a really cool, cool event. So thanks for sharing
that to the first lady, and I hope that it's
a great turnout for for MSSAY. I'm sure it will
be in the United Way as well. First ever baby
shower probably, I don't know. Maybe at this residence. I
think I would you know who.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Carried the bill to build the residents there, Jessica and Rubel.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Really I was like that's a trick question.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I could. She didn't have anything to do with the architecture.
She didn't have anything to do with having to zoom
the remains, which they're currently doing. I know that'll happen,
but yeah, it was. It was a big project of hers. Am.
Kelly Armstrong when he was a state senator, was an
original co sponsor in the will, and he never had
visions of you know, being residence.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Right, and then there they are, Well that it's a
cool it's it sounds like a cool event, great gift back.
So and then I just wanted to quickly highlight next weekend,
of course is mcquaid's.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, and we have we have the guys coming in
from all of them, right, all four hundred teams. Yeah,
uh no the I'm sorry, the USA Softball or the
Patriots Patriots, yes, yes, okay, I'm coming in before.
Speaker 2 (22:30):

she's gonna be with Ginger here this morning. I was
with her last night and I said a pastor in
the hallway here in studio. But the mcquaids tournament is
absolutely going on, Yes, absolutely is, and it is still happening.
So I wanted to just reshare the the word on
that there's always you know, a lot of live music
(22:55):
over that weekend and and so one of them I
wanted to mention is the Eclipse is bringing back the
Parking Lot Party. And so this is of course sometimes
twenty one and older, but the Eclipse is the old
Bucks venue. I don't know when we're going to stop
calling at that, but on Third Street.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And they're about twenty seventy four.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Their team is so awesome. I just love all the
things that they're doing, and they're they're really testing outs.
So they're bringing back the parking Lot Party.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
And I've heard nothing but good things from everybody who is,
you know, even even those that like walked around the outside,
you know, because it was closed or whatever. Everybody is
raving about the Eclipse.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And I'm working with the team at the Badoor Project.
They'll be out there providing food and beverages in the
door and I just love working with with Mike and
Jared and I mean, they're just they've been They've been
so great. So Parking Lot Party and the lineup is great.
Jennifer Lynn and the Groove of Revival, DJESP Frantic Anarchy

(23:56):
thirty dollars for the weekend or fifteen at the gate
if you just go one day. Sorry thirty these thirty
dollars for the combo. But it is outdoors rain or shine,

talk about some of the things that A two fifty activities.
I know we've had some of those event planners on
as well over the weeks. But it's right around the corner.
It is right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
And I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I am too, So I want to start with Mandan
Mandown's really got a heck of a show.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm on the MBA board, the rodeo. You've got the rodeo,
you've got the race, You've got here on the park.
I'm on the board. I got a preview of the
fireworks display that's happening on July third. I am so
jealous that I won't be here. I am really jealous.
I know I'll be having a blast in Madora, and
we'll talk about that as well. But if you are
(26:50):
going to be in in the area and get a
chance to go check out the fireworks show, it's it's
going to be something.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
To put on.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Mad Progress Organization and a ton of partners and many
many community sponsors. I mean, we would be absolutely remiss
if we didn't mention all of the community sponsors people
and Mandan are incredibly proud of the businesses and across
the river of course support too. But so this is
all of their information is on visit Mandan dot com
(27:20):
and their schedule and lineup for all of these are
very nicely detailed. So July second through the fourth. So
there is of course the famous parade which is going
to take place on July fourth. Don't worry about it,
just get over there. Yes there's going to be traffic,
Yes there's gonna there's gonna be thousands of other people
that you're trying to find a spot for, but it
(27:43):
will be worth it. And so that is on the fourth.
You've got the rodeo kicking off on the second. That's
put on by of course, the the Mandan Rodeo so
Mpo cross promotes that.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I got there four hundred and seventy sixth year putting
on the rodeo.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Something crazy. I can't I can't remember. I mean I
probably have access to it right here with a click
of a button. But you know, I do encourage it's
at that New Dale Pulky Arena. I do encourage you
to get tickets. You can absolutely get tickets at the gates,
but it's kind of fun to be able to pick
out your seats and no one and depending upon the weather.
So that is July, second, third, and fourth, and every
(28:23):
day there's a little bit of a different theme to it.
So there's like a family night. There's a veterans in
one hundred and forty seventh year. How did you know that?
Did you say that?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I said seven and forty. Oh, it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You had a lot of the numbers in there. But
I am sure there's going to be a lot of
very special things because of the two hundred and fiftieth
celebration as well. And it is fun we go every
year that the riders, the talent, the clowns. It is
just a really call.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Them clowns anymore? They call them something else?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Did I just defend?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No, No, No, that's a transition. It's been going on
for I think I think we had somebody on talking
about it for like five years now. That's okay, I
call him something else.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Okay, Well, I'm I don't know. I just know that
they are incredible way they really really are. They really are.
They're very talented and they're very entertaining. So the July
second is family Night, the third is a Patriot Night,
and then the fourth is of course fireworks night. So
I hope that uh everybody heads over there and checks
out that event as well Art in the Park. That's
(29:27):
a fun fact. The first time I was at Art
in the Park was because I borrowed a car. I
didn't have a driver's license, so I got to do
a little community service at Art in the Park. It
was well worth it. That was my first exposure.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Can we go back to borrow in the car without
a like mean.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I was just you know, testing the boundaries. Harper, don't listen, okay,
So because she you know, I tell her I didn't
read the book I wrote it. But I turned out okay.
I turned out to be a heck of an event planner.
But okay, So there's lots of things going on when
it comes to the parade itself. Sure you check out
the time stamp on that I can't believe. Yeah, there's
(30:03):
a comp down fourteen days. I just got a little
anxiety over my event over the fourth. But they've got
the Pyro musical event as well. But their parade is
phenomenal I can't. I don't want to say it wrong.
Do they have the National Guards? They have?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They probably have?
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, yep, sorry, Matt. I know he's like embarrassed as
he's like, come on board, remember to.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Get it together.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
At some point we have had him. We did have
him on while you were gone a couple of weeks ago. Okay.
So that's all things going on in man Dan are
in the park, the parade, the rodeo, all great things.
Get over there, get your tickets so that.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Like, I don't want to be anywhere near Medora.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
But those that do, let's talk about that because that's
where I'll be.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
He's confirmed. The Dakota Mornings is going on the road,
broadcasting live from the Presidential Library on Friday July third
and Saturday July fourth. Special edition of Dakota Mornings nine
to eleventh Central on Saturday July fourth and from the library.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It'll be such a great four days of events July second, third, fourth,
and fifth.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I heard I heard a rumor that President Trump is
coming on July first. In I did.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
How do we get that confirmed?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
When they ask you for your Social Security number, that'll
be the confirmation.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, Well, that always asked for mine, So I haven't.
I don't have that information. But what I do know
is we are putting on a heck of an event
in Chimney Park. The whole town of Medora is ben
transforming and being converted and getting ready, and we are ready.
We are absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I want to I want to talk for thirty seconds
about some of the cool stuff that the library is doing.
They had the kids, the school kids testing out the
AI interaction with Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I just thought that that was such an incredible use
of resources that they had the kids, you know, testing
it out.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
They're the tester, kidding and they're at the truth serum.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, that's and that was the point that I found
the most, the most relief from that they're participating in. Plus,
it's just a great way to integrate the community into
what is going to be a long, long, long commitment
to Theodore Roosevelt. This is Dacota Morning Zimer host Michael Bell.
We are joined in studio by Dedre Hellman. Welcome back
(32:40):
to Dakota Morning Zimer host Michael Bell. We are joined
in studio by Ddre Hellman. At thirteen tat Events with purpose,
also by Magic Sam. Today Magic Sam was a bit
of a we were glorifying you and talking about what
a great human being you are. We have our Yeah,
we have our staff meeting here coming up after the show.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
So I'm not sticking around for that. I purposely left
my last employment so I don't have to do staff
meetings anymore. Just make the decisions.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
These are informal staff meetings. That's cool. It's kind of
a flying target. Sometimes they're on Mondays, sometimes Tuesdays, sometimes Fridays.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
You're checking a box. Really minutes perfect, just a quick huddle, and.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
She usually brings donuts, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
A lot of things, all look at her face. Nope,
today she brought Jimmy John's leftover drink for you all.
That's awesome, folk. Okay, let's let's talk a little bit
about more about me, Dora. Can we shall we?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Okay, there's a one legged duck swim in a circle.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yes, I think so. Yes, Okay, thanks for clarifying that, okay, Medora. Uh,
we're we just want to smash the there's no parking,
there's traffic, blah blah blah. We we are ready, the
community is ready, the business is already Chimney Park is
being converted into We've now pointed Grand's central stations.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So I like it. I have been talking for weeks
now about the transportation is going to be seamless and
the time and effort that y'all have put into it
is going to be realized as time well spent the transportation.
Do not worry about transportation.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It's going to be different. It is going to be
different because there have to.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Be a little bit more patient, but that's hard. These
things work.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
But the guest experience that we have put together, in
all the touch points and the communication, that is important
to us. So I want to tell you the best
way to experience Madora the second, the third, and fourth
and fifth is to pre purchase a ticket. There are
tons of free things, but if you are thinking about, hey,
I'm just going to get to Madura and if there's
(34:47):
spots available at the musical or the Pitchfork Fondo or
the gospel brunch, don't risk it. Just please don't risk it.
This is not the time. And then you are going
to be frustrated and you're going to, you know, head
over to the complaint zone and we're just going to
smile and say sorry, but there's extra people in town.
So the way you can do that is go to
Medora dot com dot com YEP toggle over and find
(35:13):
America's two fifty event and check out the lineup. And
I do want to highlight a couple of things, so
this will be this has never been done before like this,
but there's live entertainment taking place all day on these
four days in Chimney Park that I mentioned huge main
stage downtown, the wild West Stage, so I believe that's
third on Third is being shut down. The road is
(35:35):
being shut down, and we've got really great acts there.
Adam and Tay is one of Monty that pops up
the Andres stage, which is just a couple of blocks away.
There is activities and music over there. The US one
hundred and eighty eighth Army Band will be performing over there.
The Cowboy Hall of Fame has entertainers taking place, and
(35:57):
that whole patio is being activated as a pop up
rest for those of us that have ever had food
from Arlin at six oh four catering and his family.
He has a full on menu taking place breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. So we've got a restaurant pop up and
entertainment at the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and then there's
other entertainment at the town Hall Square such as bingo,
(36:19):
all kinds of cool things.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Medora is the front porch for the United States for
America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
It really there's so many fun things that we still
can't even talk about. But there's a lot of great
information on Medora dot com on their website, and I
want to I want to mention a couple of the acts.
