Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome. It is time now for our community connection, and let need to start out with.
We're talking auction here. I can't do that. I don't even know why I bother trying. How are we doing, ladies?
We are excited me get to this. This is the highlight of our summer. You know, this is what we really look forward to in July.
Hey, hey, that's the Christmas shopping in July, that's for sure.
Yep, yep.
If you're not familiar with it, the radio station every the last Saturday of July every year for the last twenty six years, has been doing an auction. And what we do is we go up to the Dewey Fairgrounds, the fairgrounds in Dewey, and we set up at open the doors at eight o'clock.
At nine o'clock we start the auction.
We have brand new merchandise and gifts fortificates from local advertisers and you.
Are going to get a bargain.
What we do is we guarantee that you can't pay eighty percent of the retail price, because when you go there at eight o'clock and you start looking around, you're going to see lots of items on display. You can look through the items, touch field, look at it, whatever and stuff too. But miss Tina here has made a tag for each one of it and each item, and it says where we purchased it from, because we purchase
these items, where we purchased it from. It says what the retail price is, and then what the eighty percent price is. So our auctioneer knows he can't go over that eighty percent price.
That's his limit.
Wait a second, Tina was telling me we have to reel in mister Nichol every now.
Once in a while.
Well, you know, a very excited and he does a great job. He really does.
Yeah.
Funny, he makes it fun. He makes it.
We have a whole lot of fun with it. But when you come at eight o'clock, you want to look at all the items. But also on the wall, we have a huge wall with gift certificates on it. And we've got passes to places all over the region. You know, whether it's Branson or Oklahoma City, or Kansas City or Eureka Springs or wherever it might be. We've got passes
to fun places to go. A lot of people even plan their vacations the first or second week of August so that they can get their tickets and stuff at our auction because they know they're going to get a great price on them. But not only are there attractions on our gift certificate board. We have restaurants, we have plumbing, we have heating and air, we have pet grooming. We have a car repair, you know, like for oil changes, you know, things like that. I mean all kinds of
different golf. We've got several different golf and things and stuff too, So a lot of gift certificates. So when you come, you want to come in and get a free number. You'll get everybody has a number. That's how
you'll bid is by your number, a free number. We give you a little notepad too, one of our little k kwnkyfmkri GKPGM notepads and a pencil, so that you can go around and look at things and kind of make notes of what you might be interested in, Yes, so that you don't forget something or miss something that you really really really wanted. So you can go scan that board and say, okay, yeah. The neat thing too about it is Ms. Tina and her daughter Kenna, who
is our intern. They've also been making posters for each of these attractions too, so like if it's a Brandson show, you can look at the poster that's right beside on the gift certificate board there, and you can see, Okay, they don't perform on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, you know, or whatever, or they're an eight seven thirty show these days, and they're a morning show these days, you know, whatever and things. So as you know, when you're going to go to Branson,
you can look at that poster. You can look at their schedule and see, yes, that will fit into my schedule or and it won't fit into my schedule, you know, as to win your calendar.
Because once you've got them, you've got them, and.
Some people say, oh my plans changed and I've got these tickets, Well give them to somebody else in your family, sell them to somebody else as neighbor or whatever something too. If you can't, you know, if you can't, go ahead and use them. But yeah, you don't sell them on the open market. I'm not doing that.
We can't do that.
But no, no, but if you can't use them, be sure somebody else can. And stuff too, because they aren't for resale, they're for you to be able to use.
Well, you know, this is great.
This is pretty much an auction for everyday living and entertainment as well. But you know, when you think about it, and I've been.
To a few of these in the last years.
Some of the darnest things, a lot of things that are kind of decorative. Other things you can set on. Some things you can even ride, yes.
And we have some things you can set on.
We have a very nice brown leather Ashley accent chair from Neil's. We just picked that up yesterday. It is on the website, so go check that out. We also have a fun recliner that massages.
Heats massage recliners from Michael clarke se Center, I Bid Ready to Go and which talks about max Bid. What some people do is they go ahead and again they get their eight o'clock so they can peruse everything, and which you can look online too, because Tina has all this stuff online up too.
If you go to our.
Webs and as that's a book can sit, yes, so you can know that ahead of time. But most people just come at eight o'clock and look through things. But you can go ahead and know what that eighty percent price is. So when the auctioneer starts to talk about that recliner that you really really really want, you just say max bid or you say you know what the bid is itself, and he knows, and that's it.
You've got it.
And I will say, though, be prepared because sometimes there might be somebody else that wants the max bid too. So the first one that's hand goes up, the first one that he sees, is the one that he's going to grab as the winner too.
So auctioneer's choice.
No fuss and no fighting, no hair pulling, no ie gouging, no fighting, no none of that.
I know. I mean somebody's going to say it.
But it is a good time too, And I mean it takes a while because we have a lot of stuff. I really every year I get more excited because I mean, it's a tough job. But Tina and I've been shopping for a whole month. You know, it's rough shopping exactly.
Let me tell you. We went to because we shop all over.
We went to Punka City, we went to Pasca, we went to coffee, and we went to Know. We've been on stall, Barnstall and Dewey and yeah, I think so. Yeah, thanks kind of encompasses most of our area, but I mean that's quite an area. But we went up to coffee on the other day to the Shabby Chic and man, it was a fun store.
Oh shabby kid in there for a while. We can shop, you know, pretty quick. No, no, no, they have so many cool things.
We'll have a budget of how much we can spend.
And so it's like, darn, I wanted this too, but it doesn't fit into our budget. So but yeah, but Chabby Chic, if people aren't familiar with it, it's kind of a vintage mall, kind of like Susie Cues is a vintage mall here in Bartlesville. And so you know, they're great because they have all these little booths that people have specialty.
