Speaker 5 (01:50):
PD is actually just over a year old.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Now you're kidding. Wow, I didn't realize that. You can
see p D on our Jim Colbert YouTube channel Jim
Pilber's show.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I think it's the tail.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Is it the tail?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think it's the tail that doesn't the hairless tail.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That is one thing that makes them so special though
from that, Yeah, the prehencil tail.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So it is a true prehensile tail.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It is.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah, they can't grab things with it, but they.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hang from it.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah that makes them not creepy at all.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No, definitely, not not at all. But Kristin. I know, normally,
under better circumstances, we would have had you in today
to talk about your Fall Festival, which normally you hold
around this time of the year each and every year.
What is it care Foundation's biggest fundraisers.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
It's our once a year big fundraiser, yep, where we
invite the public in. They can come see all the animals.
We do, food trucks, we do all kinds of special things.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Vendors have animals to pet, things like that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So this year, unfortunately, Now, how long have you been
in your brand new facility.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
We've been there since six Oh wow, okay, so, but
we've been in Orange County for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Next year, wow. And for some reason, for.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Some reason, all of a sudden, the county asked for
an event permit, and then when we submitted all the
paperwork they wanted, it wasn't good enough and they denied it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
So that means there is no Fall Festival this weekend.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Nope, there is not.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So we're still trying to work out all the kinks
and jump through the hoops that they require and everything else.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
So but we've been doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
For wow or crazy and they had no explanation on
what happened or why they didn change or no.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Trying to figure it out says one thing, one person
says another.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Wow, So a bit of a run around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're being very kind about it
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
But we don't want to run any other situation that
they know it coming a nice in the future. You
don't want to cause a situation where you know they're
not going to work with it at all. But it
does it doesn't you know, something sounds amiss or something
sounds like you know, a lot of balls were dropped
on one end. Because something has been going successfully for
thirty years with no legislation, change should not be a
hurdle to having an event that would raise money for
(04:03):
your foundation.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, it's probably over a five thousand dollars loss.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Which what makes it even worse is the start of
this weekend.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
It's getting cold right yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, And we have tropical animals that need heat, lamps that.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Need running water.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Last year we actually had two months of electric bills that.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Were over one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So suffering this loss, it's pretty it hurts bad.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, we do know one thing we have here in
central Florida, and that is a really close community of people.
I love the way you handle pet by the tail.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Well, I know Gim's not fond of him, so and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Jack is hoping you'll let PD go so people will
run towards gym.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
There are drinks.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Over here too, and I'm sure Pete would like to
wash down that little treaty.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Just well, pet will get punched in the face if
he touch my head.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Come on, yeah you would. How can p will help you?
Since they're not going to be able to come in
and check out the it may not be a fall festival,
but they can certainly come for tours.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
We're hoping. We're hoping that doesn't change.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So all of that is up in the air right now.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Everything is up in the air. Yeah, So we're just
trying to figure it out there. There was one thing
they requested that they said we should be doing yearly,
and I've never heard of it thirty years and they're
just now bringing this up to me. So we're going
through that paperwork. And then there's something about first I
was told zoning, now I'm told building, and you know,
(05:33):
all our enclosures for the animals are built according to FWC,
the state standards. They're the ones that know what these
animals need, and we are on.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Top of it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We've never had a problem, and all of a sudden
we have to go through a whole nother division of
people we don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, so yeah, we're looking for donations. So if anybody
wants to go to our website, you can help us out.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
There and you can see the kind of animals we have. Yeah,
almost two hundred.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Now somebody text us at seven seven zero three one
instead apparently we haven't vetted this, but a new ordinance
to control outdoor events.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Possibly somebody said somebody, would there be more than one
hundred people there? Yeah, somebody said something also about if
it's more than a if they expect more than one
hundred people, there's a permitting thing that is required as well.
But again, these are just people in the public. We
do not know if this is accurate, but they're just
giving possibilities of what could.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Could have happened.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah, well, I wish.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Still they would. They should have told you, I mean,
you know, this is what event it comes up. I
mean they easily could have said, hey, look, you know
there's going to change you know this is a permit.
Now you now need to have this event, so make
sure you do that before it comes up so you
don't have any issues.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And we're happy to abide by all that if we
were told soon enough, and you know, we just this.
This was a slop in the face basically and you know,
very unexpected.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What would they do if you just want ahead with it?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I don't know, but I don't want to test it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, yeah, because most likely they would shut you down.
You could potentially face fines or whatever. Yeah, but give it.
Give everyone the website where they can go to.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's the care Foundation all one word, thecare Foundation dot
org RG.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, And then do you have like an Amazon wish
list that folks can do there or just to donate
now button, just to.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Donate now button. We changed our website builder and all
and I we've still got to do the wish list
and everything. But if anybody's interested, they can contact me
through the website and I can send them a wish
list or whatever.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
So but yeah, money is.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Essential because of the the upcoming coal to the winner.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, and that you're a five you're nonprofit organization?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
About is nonprofit?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You can get yeah exactly. You're not the FWC, right,
you're not receiving state funds.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We know they're happy to dump things on us occasionally, but.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
No helpe otherwise.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You mean, just dump the animals, but not the money.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
It's happened.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah exactly, But that turns out that you are
also a great resource for the state. So, but how
about new volunteers. Could folks still sign up to volunteer
with you?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, we need new volunteers. We've had several could volunteers
that have gone to college, right, and a few that
have had family issues come up and one of a
couple of them have moved and things like that.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
So we definitely need volunteers.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So if somebody finds themselves with a day each week,
one day a week.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
That they can come out, we'd gladly train you.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What about teenagers that are maybe looking to go into
zoology or biology, Yeah, yep, we do them as well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And we have taken some high school students also that
are trying to go for the bright futures.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh cool, so they can maybe even get like credit
hours or something like that. Yep. Okay, So there's still
some opportunities for the community to come through and help
the care Foundation even though you can't you know, couldn't
do your fall festival this weekend. But keep us up
to data and let us know how the permit process
is going. And if and when you've been able to
reschedule it.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Oh god, I'm hoping we can reschedule.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is there anything that folks maybe listening right now could
drop off to the care Foundation. By the way, you're
located in a popka, right, we are in a popka.
Things like towels, maybe old reptile lamps.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
We've got We've got all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Okay, Yeah, anything like dog or cat food, whether it's
canned or kibble.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
We go through a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Trail mix is one of the fun things that the
animals get once in a while, but it's a little
more expensive, so we don't buy it very often.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
No punkins please, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
By the way, I just I just wanted to see
how easy it was to donate. So I just donated
one hundred dollars while we're sitting here and you guys talking,
So just to show you how easy it is. While
these guys were having that conversation, I went to the
care Foundation dot org and clicked right through. The donate
button is easy to see. You click there, you put
your information in, put your card number in. I donated
one hundred dollars in two minutes.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I did you know what you get for one hundred
dollars a hug from PD.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
No, let's double somebody else up. But anyway, that's how
easy it is. I mean, and by the way, they
even have I chose the highest domination they had, but
it could be five, ten, twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You can write a number and if you'd like, but
you click right.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
There and just click right through. It's a piece of cake.
Like I said, I did it while I was sitting here,
so it's right there. That's Thecarefoundation dot org.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We also have a monthly which the people that donate monthly.
I mean, it could be two dollars, it could be
ten dollars, and that helps out so much with just
the monthly bills. And like we it sounds funny, but
the most expensive animals on the property right now are
all the monkeys and the exotic birds. Their food is
not cheap, yea, yeah, a ton of it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah. You've talked before about monkey biscuits.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
How much you know they're just tooking number eleven. Oh,
I said we'd never have monkeys.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Now I'm up to eleven.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's not one of them crazy herpe monkeys. Is it
the one?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
No, no, we stare clear of those.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Did you see the video from Silver Glenn?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I did?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How crazy was that that was?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Would have loved been there and seen.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That National news.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It made everywhere the CBS, NBC, it was on USA today.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Uh, the AP had it.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I saw it on Instagram. Jack. Did you happen to
see the video of monkeys literally raining down over the river?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yeah, they climb up for those and they jump down
the springs and if you're there at the right time,
they do it all in unison.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
So it literally looks like it's raining monkeys.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, because they're crossing from one end of the river
to the other. It was a little scary because they
got a little close to the boat.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's amazing, but it is kind of scary a little bit,
especially if you work with monkeys, and you know monkeys.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean even Jane Goodall said they were not her
favorite animal because they're too human, like real quick though,
this is the time of the year when everyone is
being told to take their old pumpkins to animal rescues
into farms. We're fine, okay, so what we're good us.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Have already had pumpkins and yeah, and the pigs are
punkined out.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Okay, so everybody's had enough pies.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yep, okay, we're good on punkins.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm an old meat loaf.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, we could do a meat I'm sure Pete would
love the meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You guys haven't left over in front of Margarita.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh it sounds like Jim just invited for dinner, and
it does it?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Did? I canna tell you's damn good though he sat
there pretty much the entire day. All these other dogs
and cats would bring in here, roll them around like
crazy people.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
This thing's that right there?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Somebody just texted us at zero zero our seven seven
zero three one rather all caps. FYI that rat is adorable, sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
It's a count I just found on the side of.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The road exactly, just with a really long hairless tale.
So again, it's the Care Foundation all one word dot org.
Can they go there to sign up to volunteer as
well as to donate.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, just my phone number is the one that's on
all the information. Just call or text me and I'll
get you set up cool.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So let's let's I know the community is going to
come through and help you get through these early cold
nights and then hopefully, you know, you'll be able to
finish out the work with the you know, Orange County,
the permitting process and as soon as you get that
event rescheduled, let us know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, it's just so disappointing because we've done things with
Orange County Sheriff's Department. We're on call with Orange County
Animal Services, like if somebody this is another thing, if
somebody has a snink in their yard and they don't
know what it is or they think it's venomous, hit
me up. The counties will give you my number. So
I do a lot of things. We work with Harbor House,

Speaker 5 (04:14):
It's getting cold right yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, And we have tropical animals that need heat, lamps that.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Need running water.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Last year we actually had two months of electric bills that.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Were over one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
So suffering this loss, it's pretty it hurts bad.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, we do know one thing we have here in
central Florida, and that is a really close community of people.
I love the way you handle pet by the tail.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Well, I know Gim's not fond of him, so and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Jack is hoping you'll let PD go so people will
run towards gym.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
There are drinks.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Over here too, and I'm sure Pete would like to
wash down that little treaty.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Just well, pet will get punched in the face if
he touch my head.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Come on, yeah you would. How can p will help you?
Since they're not going to be able to come in
and check out the it may not be a fall festival,
but they can certainly come for tours.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
We're hoping. We're hoping that doesn't change.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So all of that is up in the air right now.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Everything is up in the air. Yeah, So we're just
trying to figure it out there. There was one thing
they requested that they said we should be doing yearly,
and I've never heard of it thirty years and they're
just now bringing this up to me. So we're going
through that paperwork. And then there's something about first I
was told zoning, now I'm told building, and you know,
(05:33):
all our enclosures for the animals are built according to FWC,
the state standards. They're the ones that know what these
animals need, and we are on.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Top of it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We've never had a problem, and all of a sudden
we have to go through a whole nother division of
people we don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, so yeah, we're looking for donations. So if anybody
wants to go to our website, you can help us out.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
There and you can see the kind of animals we have. Yeah,
almost two hundred.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Now somebody text us at seven seven zero three one
instead apparently we haven't vetted this, but a new ordinance
to control outdoor events.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Possibly somebody said somebody, would there be more than one
hundred people there? Yeah, somebody said something also about if
it's more than a if they expect more than one
hundred people, there's a permitting thing that is required as well.
But again, these are just people in the public. We
do not know if this is accurate, but they're just
giving possibilities of what could.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Could have happened.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah, well, I wish.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Still they would. They should have told you, I mean,
you know, this is what event it comes up. I
mean they easily could have said, hey, look, you know
there's going to change you know this is a permit.
Now you now need to have this event, so make
sure you do that before it comes up so you
don't have any issues.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And we're happy to abide by all that if we
were told soon enough, and you know, we just this.
This was a slop in the face basically and you know,
very unexpected.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What would they do if you just want ahead with it?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I don't know, but I don't want to test it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, yeah, because most likely they would shut you down.
You could potentially face fines or whatever. Yeah, but give it.
Give everyone the website where they can go to.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It's the care Foundation all one word, thecare Foundation dot
org RG.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, And then do you have like an Amazon wish
list that folks can do there or just to donate
now button, just to.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Donate now button. We changed our website builder and all
and I we've still got to do the wish list
and everything. But if anybody's interested, they can contact me
through the website and I can send them a wish
list or whatever.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
So but yeah, money is.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Essential because of the the upcoming coal to the winner.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, and that you're a five you're nonprofit organization?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
About is nonprofit?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You can get yeah exactly. You're not the FWC, right,
you're not receiving state funds.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We know they're happy to dump things on us occasionally, but.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
No helpe otherwise.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You mean, just dump the animals, but not the money.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
It's happened.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah exactly, But that turns out that you are
also a great resource for the state. So, but how
about new volunteers. Could folks still sign up to volunteer
with you?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, we need new volunteers. We've had several could volunteers
that have gone to college, right, and a few that
have had family issues come up and one of a
couple of them have moved and things like that.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
So we definitely need volunteers.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So if somebody finds themselves with a day each week,
one day a week.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
That they can come out, we'd gladly train you.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What about teenagers that are maybe looking to go into
zoology or biology, Yeah, yep, we do them as well.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And we have taken some high school students also that
are trying to go for the bright futures.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh cool, so they can maybe even get like credit
hours or something like that. Yep. Okay, So there's still
some opportunities for the community to come through and help
the care Foundation even though you can't you know, couldn't
do your fall festival this weekend. But keep us up
to data and let us know how the permit process
is going. And if and when you've been able to
reschedule it.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Oh god, I'm hoping we can reschedule.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Is there anything that folks maybe listening right now could
drop off to the care Foundation. By the way, you're
located in a popka, right, we are in a popka.
Things like towels, maybe old reptile lamps.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
We've got We've got all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Okay, Yeah, anything like dog or cat food, whether it's
canned or kibble.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
We go through a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Trail mix is one of the fun things that the
animals get once in a while, but it's a little
more expensive, so we don't buy it very often.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
No punkins please, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
By the way, I just I just wanted to see
how easy it was to donate. So I just donated
one hundred dollars while we're sitting here and you guys talking,
So just to show you how easy it is. While
these guys were having that conversation, I went to the
care Foundation dot org and clicked right through. The donate
button is easy to see. You click there, you put
your information in, put your card number in. I donated
one hundred dollars in two minutes.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I did you know what you get for one hundred
dollars a hug from PD.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
No, let's double somebody else up. But anyway, that's how
easy it is. I mean, and by the way, they
even have I chose the highest domination they had, but
it could be five, ten, twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
You can write a number and if you'd like, but
you click right.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
There and just click right through. It's a piece of cake.
Like I said, I did it while I was sitting here,
so it's right there. That's Thecarefoundation dot org.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We also have a monthly which the people that donate monthly.
I mean, it could be two dollars, it could be
ten dollars, and that helps out so much with just
the monthly bills. And like we it sounds funny, but
the most expensive animals on the property right now are
all the monkeys and the exotic birds. Their food is
not cheap, yea, yeah, a ton of it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah. You've talked before about monkey biscuits.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
How much you know they're just tooking number eleven. Oh,
I said we'd never have monkeys.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Now I'm up to eleven.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's not one of them crazy herpe monkeys. Is it
the one?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
No, no, we stare clear of those.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Did you see the video from Silver Glenn?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I did?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How crazy was that that was?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Would have loved been there and seen.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That National news.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It made everywhere the CBS, NBC, it was on USA today.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Uh, the AP had it.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I saw it on Instagram. Jack. Did you happen to
see the video of monkeys literally raining down over the river?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yeah, they climb up for those and they jump down
the springs and if you're there at the right time,
they do it all in unison.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
So it literally looks like it's raining monkeys.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, because they're crossing from one end of the river
to the other. It was a little scary because they
got a little close to the boat.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's amazing, but it is kind of scary a little bit,
especially if you work with monkeys, and you know monkeys.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean even Jane Goodall said they were not her
favorite animal because they're too human, like real quick though,
this is the time of the year when everyone is
being told to take their old pumpkins to animal rescues
into farms. We're fine, okay, so what we're good us.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Have already had pumpkins and yeah, and the pigs are
punkined out.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Okay, so everybody's had enough pies.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yep, okay, we're good on punkins.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm an old meat loaf.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, we could do a meat I'm sure Pete would
love the meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You guys haven't left over in front of Margarita.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh it sounds like Jim just invited for dinner, and
it does it?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Did? I canna tell you's damn good though he sat
there pretty much the entire day. All these other dogs
and cats would bring in here, roll them around like
crazy people.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
This thing's that right there?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Somebody just texted us at zero zero our seven seven
zero three one rather all caps. FYI that rat is adorable, sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
It's a count I just found on the side of.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
The road exactly, just with a really long hairless tale.
So again, it's the Care Foundation all one word dot org.
Can they go there to sign up to volunteer as
well as to donate.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, just my phone number is the one that's on
all the information. Just call or text me and I'll
get you set up cool.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So let's let's I know the community is going to
come through and help you get through these early cold
nights and then hopefully, you know, you'll be able to
finish out the work with the you know, Orange County,
the permitting process and as soon as you get that
event rescheduled, let us know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, it's just so disappointing because we've done things with
Orange County Sheriff's Department. We're on call with Orange County
Animal Services, like if somebody this is another thing, if
somebody has a snink in their yard and they don't
know what it is or they think it's venomous, hit
