I know you've heard the commercial on the air, and I've heard that it takes all day to get through there, so you might plan a couple of days to get through it. There's lots of different things to see in there, and it's all nostalgia. And we were just talking about nostalgia this morning, So taking your kids there will blow their mind. So it's the little things in life that the kids get so excited about, like the window crank on the old sixty five forward.
My nephew just thought that was the.
Funniest thing, had a window crank instead of a button.
I saw it in a movie. It was the funniest thing.
So thanks Hunter for providing that chuckle for us this morning.
We have a lot for everyone to come in. We were at Nellis Hall at Coffeeville Community College. That that's two huge spaces. That's big enough for a gymnasium, both of them. Yes, And the seats are all rolled back and everything up against the wall. So we've got nothing
but show space. Yes, and it like I said, it's huge, and you can take a walk around one big showroom and then say, wow, I need to get a snack, and you can go in the hallway and get a snack, and then you go right to the next connecting showroom and you can walk the calories off.
Yeah, there you go.
And I'm not sure if the bounce houses are coming back or not. You can, you know, go in there and jump around a bit. But we also have food vendors outside. May Kobyejo will be there again this year. Nice, And we have all kinds of fundings to look at outside as well. So we take over three big spaces of Nelli's Hall and yeah, like the whole parking lot, we have all kinds of farm equipment and things like that. I will report back as we get a little closer as to what all of those are. I know, room's
out there or power will be there. We usually have some vehicles from Roman Chevrolet as well, so you can climb in and out of those and that'll be a lot of fun. I like looking at all the new vehicles. But vehicle shopping is one of my favorite pastimes. So I mean there's that.
But yeah, you know, if we had more money, we'd be collectors, would we? Oh?
By far, by far. I learned from the best. But we have all kinds of variety of businesses. So if you're out there listening and thinking, oh, that's a home, that's a farm, that's a you know, everything in between. So you know, if you sell ice cream or you sell hot dogs, are you so T shirts or you know whatever, we will have a place for you.
We had somebody who had organic bags that was selling things a few years ago, so it could be anything.
Yeah, and it's anything from farm and home. So you know, we have the olive oil cast and grove will be back. So it's cooking, it's you know, the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room. Like if you have a house, if you have a farm, if you have any kind of a yard whatsoever, or even if you just you know, like to eat, because you know the meat venders will be there, like there's lots of things to look at, you know. And the best part is tom the weather.
Oh yeah, it's gonna be so much warmer by the end of March.
So mark on your calendars.
If you have a desk calendar already, you'll have it already on there. But mark on your calendars. March twenty eighth and twenty ninth. That's a Friday and a Saturday. Where there Friday afternoons one to seven, So if you work later in the evening, then come on out. You're welcome to come both days. Saturday we open at eight thirty and we go till four in the afternoon, so come out and check us out in or to win that five hundred dollars. You get five hundred dollars chance
every day. And if you come in on Friday, yes, you can register again on Saturday. The winners come out of different boxes. So Friday we pick a winner and we close that box up and then Saturday we pick another winner. So definitely come out and register both times and enter to win. And that Brandson vacation with the hotel stays man. Yeah, I mean all you're out is travel to get there and then whatever food you want
to do. You know, we provide the shows, and you know, if you want to do extra things, then of course you want to do extra things. But think of all the money you save by not having to spend money on a hotel and then not having to spend money to go to fund attractions and things like that, so you can splorge on those other tickets that you show you want to go to, or a restaurant that you've been wanting to try. I know, we have a lot of people here that go over that way often, so
over the summer and spring and stuff. So mister Evan, he loves the farm show. He's making faces at me right now.
That's good.
He always tries to trip me up and it works most of the time. I'm not as good as you guys.
Anyway, it's going to be a great time.
It's going to be a great event, and it's even if you're even thinking about it. If you're a new business or a business that might be new to us, yes, give us a holler. We'll make arrangements and we'll see if we can find you a nice space right there and you can join the folks who've been there for years. Many of the vendors have been there since you're one. They just keep coming back and we make good.
We make a lot of friends, you know, and then we have a lot of collaboration. So you make friends across the hall, across the walkway with someone, you never know how that friendship is going to grow your business, you know. And you can partner with all these people and they send people to your business, you send people to their business, and it's you know, it's one big community that we have grown and nurtured for nine years now. And you know that's nothing to sneeze at. Nine years
of doing an event is quite something. So we want you to come out. We want you to take part in what we do and what we believe in, and that is helping people grow their business. And that's what we're here for.
