Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome. It's time now for our community connection right here on K one, the one you trust, and today we're talking to the Tlajuanas and we have Jeanette here with us. Hey doing, miss Miller. I'm doing great. How about you? Well, I'm always great, but we're doing better because Wow, I took a look at what we're talking about today. We got a ton of good things coming to town courtesy of the help of the Kuanas we
do. It's our busy time of the year. We just finished up with Sooner Junior and the Freedom Fest and so now we're into the holiday season. Now I'm gonna take a little bit of a departure today because Sooner Junior has always been a fun thing. But you actually had a little bit of fun when the movie Killers of the Flower Movements being filmed. Here, tell us a little bit about what was going on, you little star power goal we did. We had Steve Wating who placed one of the Doctor shows, the
Tall Doctor shown. He came out to Sooner Junior on one of his days off and he has his own miniature golf course back in New York, so he would come out every time we were open just about and it got to where he was helping us open up, setting up, and he was in our tournament that we have our Sunfeest Showdown and he won. I think he won first place, first or second place in the showdown. But it was so neat because I was seeing him. When I saw him on TV,
I thought I hadn't met any movie stars, but I had. But to me, he was just a normal guy. Here's to Steve. And he was fun and he was great to Kawana. So our hat's off to Steve. Oh my. We got something coming up rather quickly here. It's called the Halloween Bash. Can you tell us a little bit about it? Yes, on this Friday, I mean Saturday. I'm sorry this Saturday. Please don't rain on Saturday until after midnight. We're going to have our Halloween Bush.
It's free, free miniature golf, free candy for the kids. We encourage everyone to be in costume and we open at six and we will close the gate at nine fifteen. We'll take our last people at nine to fifteen and we will we decorated up for Halloween. It's so much fun and seeing all the kids. This is Sooner This is at Sooner Junior. Wow. So go out there to Sooner Park. Keep going straight when you come in, take a little left you're there exactly exactly. Oh my gosh, that
sounds like it's a lot of fun. Now we're going to be doing some celebrating. It's called Celebrate Giving. Now. Last year was kind of like one of the first years for this format, but it worked out so well. Oh it was great. We had thirty two i think nonprofits, which a lot of people don't realize how many nonprofits we have in Bartos two hundred. Yeah. Well we're going to have forty four of them at the this
year. So we're going to do it the day before Giving Tuesday. We're gonna do it on Monday, November the twenty seventh, and it's at the Center Bartlesfield, the former Bartlesfield Community Center. We will have food there that's for sale from the FFA groups, school groups. We will have a cash bar, and we will have all of the nonprofits with any They might have
some fundraising if you want to go and make donations. But the best thing is you can see a lot of the different nonprofits, especially some that you probably have no Clue are in Bartlesville. So I was telling one group when I talked to their board the other day, it's a room at his table, which is a puppet ministry. We bet that go. We've had him on here. That's a great little thing that got Yeah, Chris Ben and
his wife parently, they're awesome. Well, I was telling him, you know, even if you don't sell anything or don't make it, if you could get one donor who is a faithful donor, it's more than worth it. And so he agreed. So I think it's just wonderful opportunity to get to see all of the different offits set are out there. Our folks at Dynamic Independence were out there. They had a blast and they won last year
they did they won, so of course they had a blast. This is really good because you can see what all of our nonprofits that will be in attendance I do, and they can explain just you know, how they work within our community and this kind of help folks that fall through the cracks, and you know, there's quite a few folks that do that, and it's great to know that we have these help in hands in our community to help so many people. And thanks to the Kiwanas for organizing this too, because
it's really good. This is going to be at the center, right. It's at the center at the community right, huh, And it's four to seven on the twenty seventh. I need the twenty seventh. The other thing that we do is they each of the nonprofits has a jar and we give tickets as people come in or they can buy tickets. That's the only other than the food and stuff. That's the only cost. But you pick your favorite jar because they're going to decorate them up. You pick your favorite jar,
and they win cash prizes. The nonprofits will win cash prices and it goes right to their causes. It does. Karen Wilson, our head of fundraising, works very hard on this to get sponsors and to get money, so we will give out. We will give out a lot of cash prices. The Grand Marshall from the Parade's going to be there and he's going to pick his favorite boot. Yeah. That's where a Dynamic Independence won last year. So that's our goal is to give money to the and help out the
nonprofits. Oh, George is going to be there. You're going to have a lot of fun and really you're going to see a lot of friends. There's what you're going to say, and it really it's it's like a microcosm of Bartlesville from where I was last year. It's like everybody knew everybody, but they didn't know they were doing that. You tell me you were with this group, Well you resked, Well now we do know, you know
exactly a lot of fun. It's just a lot of fun. We're going to take a quick break and we've got to talk a little bit about the Christmas parade. Okay, all right, we'll be back after these words from get Real Ministries, Tall Grass Motors and Artol Moore and Niea Funeral The needs are completely transferable in the United States from funeral home to funeral home, and
in Oklahoma that's especially true without any penalty at all. For instance, if you decide you're going to retire and move to another state and you find a funeral home that you're comfortable with elsewhere, you can take that already set up free need that you have at funeral home A and transfer to funeral home B, and there's no problem doing that. Tim Howeng, Arnold Moore and n
Deecamp funeral Home sixty seventy years ago, Bob Farmer died. Joe business owner Noon, Joe business Owner hung a sign that said close for the funeral of Bob Farmer back at three pm. Hung it on his door, closed his door. No one would steal that sign. He would go to the funeral, as would many of Bob's friends. Now, if you are a grandson, you have to have proof that Grandpa died so you can get paid for that day of leave said at one hundred times. Death is an inconvenience to
twenty first century America. But it's not at Arnold Moore and Nie Camp Puneral Hall. It'll be all right, we'll walk through this together. Arnold Moore and Knee Camp Punerial Hall seven ten Dewey Bartels event Life. We'll walk through this together. Is it time to start thinking about a new car? But the thought of dealing with the large dealerships is just too intimidating, too confusing.

Goodbye Tall Grass Motors today and enjoy looking at over sixty used cars, trucks and SUV's all prized to save you money. Tall Grass Motors, Highway seventy five North in Bartlesville. Hey everyone, this is Pastor Rando and Pastor Shiloh with git Reel Ministries and
this is your get Real minute. Most everyone has heard the scripture John three point sixteen, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, who's ever should leaving him to not perish but have everlasting life. I believe that that scripture is really of no avail if not followed up by the very next scripture John three point seventy For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might
be saved. And that is the foundational scripture by which get Real Ministries was founded.

And we're talking with the Jeanette Millery. She is with the Kuanas and Bartlesfield Course has the Halloween Bash coming up this Saturday. We have to celebrate give coming up and also the Christmas Parade and that is what we're going to kind of focus in on. Now.
This is quite the deal. Every year it just seems to be. Even during COVID it was spectacular. We hold it in the evening, We hold it in downtown Barnosville. Well you put it on the TV and tons of people show up. Tell us a little bit about it. Well, our Christmas Prey this year is going to be December the second. We always have the Christmas Prey the first Saturday of the month in December and our theme is Christmas at the Movies. Oh goodie. Yeah, I'm so excited to see
a lot of channel. It's just cheering you guys on you know, that exactly. So I love the creativity of all the different organizations and what they take the theme and just run with it. So I'm looking forward to seeing what all they have to do. We start at we'll start that morning. We'll start at nine in the morning, start setting up the parking lot. And it's it's the the Frank Phillips lot. Yeah, right there off of Frank Philips Boulevard, right past the train tracks, right exactly, and so
we will fill that up. Last year, I think we had over seventy different if at least at least at least, yeah, seventy plus. So we will start setting up about two o'clock. Floats will start coming in and at four point thirty they all need to be in line because then that's when
we have our judging for the floats. We have a nonprofit float contest one first through third place, a business and a corporate And the difference between business in corporate is corporate are the ones that have their and the floats that someone else make. But we have we have our at four thirty we start judging. So if they're not in line by four thirty, are not gonna get judged. Oh my goodness. Well, I'll tell you what. Everybody's pretty
punctual with this, and everybody wants to win. And we've had a few that have won perennially, and but every now and again we get some new blood out there, and it's really kind of neat. You know, the folks are just so overjoyed when they when they win. But you know what, everyone's a winter when they come down the street. Everyone is putting on the dog, just having a good old time. And we have marching bands of plenty. We also have all kinds of lit up floats from all over
the place. We even have we even have a couple of TV stations and Tulsa showing up to give us the weather water in the back of the truck waving at everybody they are. That's really cool watching watching yourself go down the watching the crowd as they go down, showing the crowd. But it all starts off with I think the fire department, right and the the honor Guard, and you know when that steps off, they're marching, and they're marching
at their own pace. They got to follow. They are better hustle. You're going to get left behind. Exactly now, I understand we have some sign ups available for folks who want to get a float in. Yes, we dogister early registration. We're still part of that until the fifteenth and November. Okay, have forty five dollars for a business and twenty dollars for nonprofits.
That's very reasonable, Yeah, it is. And then after the after the fifteenth, it's going to be fifty dollars for business in twenty five for the non profits. But that money, that's part of our fundraiser because one of the things about the Christmas Parade we just want to get back to the community. Sure, and it's our gift to the community, but also it asks as a fundraiser, we give out scholarships and we have other projects in the community. So all of the money goes back into the community. Oh,
it does, and it really works out well. And plus it's quite the show. It is really quite the show. I remember one of the times we had somewhere between seventy and eighty, and it may have been it was just a lot, but it was so fun. I was telling Jeanette off off camera and off microphone that you know, when we're up there with our little TV stuff and our little radio stuff, you know, you kind of feel like you're you're doing the big Macy's Parade in New York, except
for you know, everybody in this parade. You don't know anybody in New York City. That's what makes it pretty dark cool that you know everybody it is and it just it really is great to see. You know. The last couple of parades, Jeanette, there was not a there was not an empty spot along the route. There were people that were actually on floats that were texting back to us saying, there's no gaps. That's at And that's how we wanted to be. That's what we start for. But we do
have several sponsors. I want to give a show. We got to do that because without them, we can't make that happen, I know. So the one said I want to shut out our Grand Marshal, of course is George Hockey Artists. There you go, and Trudy's going to sponsor the Grand Marshall. Very good, Yeah, do we High school ban is by state senator or i mean state Representative Judd Strong, and thank you Judd. He does that every year for a ban. The Bartlesville High School Ban is our
best bank, sponsored by our best business Bartlesville Radio. Yay, thank you so much. Corporate is Cliffs Flooring in Windows and nonprofit is sponsored by Stride Bank overall winner Brian Little Hayley and Kent PC. And then Santa Claus is sponsored by Muscleman Abstract And one thing about our parade and it's a guarantee you will only go to see one Santa Claus because the Santa Claus exactly no counterfeits. We asked no float to have a Santa Claus on their float. So
we do have a few spots available for sponsorships. So if anybody is interested, they can go to the Quantis of Bartlesville website and they can sign up. All right, you make it that easy. All you got to do click and go, is there? Yeah? Wow, that's amazing. And we have banners and your business will go on the banner whoever chooses to sponsor.
So of course we're quite generous throwing those sponsored names around on our broadcast on the night of the parade, because we understand that that's how we make things work, right, So we couldn't do it without our sponsors, and they deserve all the credit that they earn. And it's really something else and you were talking a little bit about the quantas and I want to go into that a little bit. More scholarships, that's really important. That's a big
thing. It is a big thing. We give out at the end of the year. We'll give out five senior of the year one thousand dollars scholarships to the five area schools in Washington County. We give out five sophomore of the year. It's one hundred dollars scholarship, but it prepares them forget getting the for working on their senior scholarships when they go to college. From those, we pick one and shout out to our little Emma Matthcki. This year
she was our sophomore of the year. We sent her on to Texas, Oklahoma, and she also won the Texas Oklahoma scholarship, so she will get six hundred dollars when she graduates. Nice. Yeah, I's so proud of her. And then we give eighth graders of the year, two from Madison too, from Central Boy and a girl from me each that's a fifty dollars scholarship. And then Try County Tech. We give a five hundred dollars scholarship to the adult senior the adult Student of the Year and the high school student
of the Year. So we have a big blowout in May June for all of our scholarship winners, and then through the whole year we give out to nonprofits. We give money to nonprofits too. This is just some of the work that the Kawanas of Bartlesville does. Can I thank you?
