  Speaker 1: a big deal. You know the boy you and I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: look today. I'm wearing my rotary hat.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yes you are. You know you wear many hats too.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Don't you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: That's a good point, I really do. The very art
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: splash is something that has done every couple of years, yep,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: every other year, and the reason why is because it
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: just takes so long to pull off an event like this.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, I mean, I mean just the artwork
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: alone is a huge undertaking.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: That's a huge, huge deal.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It takes the artis a long time to decorate these items.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: They work, you know, all winter long. Yeah, some of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: them spend over one hundred dollars. The other interesting thing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: is that they have trouble eating when they're decorating, because
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of them do it on their kitchen table. Yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: No, you're serious, You're serious.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I've been in their homes and they're they're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in there working away on the thing, and they say,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'll be glad when I get this done, so I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: can go back to using my table to eat instead
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of decorating cats and dogs and chimpanzees. Chimpanzees.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Should we start out with the chimpanzees this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: While, because I'm looking at one right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: By the way, Shirley Potter says, she remembers when you
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: were young and handsome. Wow, thanks a lot serily.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Wow, Crystal says, oh my god, I haven't seen Carl Rinker.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Christal Merrill, haven't seen Carl Rinker in forever good man.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I used to work for him years and years ago,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: so she's.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Probably lucky not to see me.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Let's start out on the front side of this guy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well, why don't you just show that first
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what we got here. Yeah, this is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: so cool man. Check out this grantited Carrara.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: This is one of the first ones that I noticed.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: This is so so cool. Hey, should we give me
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: a before we even start this morning, Let's give a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: shout out to Lloyd Hutchins. Yes, we lost him, what
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: about a year ago.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're kind of dedicating this year's auction to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the memory of Lloyd Hutchins for the very arch splash. Yeah. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: great guy. He's done so much.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: He was responsible for getting you the thirty two's and
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: thirty four coops.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He was responsible for providing the real race cars. Yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the real punch of the real race cars that we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: using to manufacture the molds, and of course those molds
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and those race cars are all made right here in Barry,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: which helps to keep jobs here in Berry. So there's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a little side thing of this over and above a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fundraiser for the Barry Rotary Club bringing people into town.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But Lloyd hutchins a great man, very knowledgeable. He was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: instrumental in starting the New England Racing Museum over in Hampshire. Yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: he was instrumental and actually hands on building of Thunder
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Road back in nineteen sixty. So he's a career race
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: car fan, always involved with it. He loved the sport.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He used to race himself, he used to own race cars.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But he just went out of his way to help
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Burry Art Rotary arts Lash. We added rotary to it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Used to call it Barry arts Lash now without very
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: well it should be the Rotary because that's what that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was the inception of all of this year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: As I said last night, you're the brainchild to this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: This was a fundraising idea that you had which has
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: absolutely exploded.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Over the last couple of years.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Carl and I don't know how much money has been
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: pulled in for for Rotary, but this is a malt
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: multi faceted win for so many people in so many
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: different ways. It's like a win win win win win,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: like you just said you were talking about jobs. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: mean there's art. I mean people get to enjoy it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Brings in tourists, people get to enjoy they take pictures.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: You've got.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: You've got scavenger hunts going on, you've got people's choice towards.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: You've got businesses that benefit from this. This is so cool, man.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: So let's yeah, let's walk around.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So you know, well, just quickly, the very Rotary Club
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: just had a Pie for Brunch event where we gave
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: away ten thousand dollars. And of course the ten thousand
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: dollars came from the Rotary Art Slash and different groups
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in town were awarded those funds and we enjoyed giving
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the funds out and we enjoy earning those funds at
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: our auction, which this year will take place on September
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: sixth at the Vermont Grant Museum at three o'clock. So
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the brochures are out, they're in the stores. People can
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: pick up a brochure. Actually, let me see it here
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for a second. This is the twenty twenty five brochure
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and the map and of course it tells the artist,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it tells the sponsor, tells the location of the art item,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and be aware, folks. I did move a couple art
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: items from where they're projected on the map for various reasons.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: They're within one hundred feet or so where they're supposed
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to be, but they did get moved around a little bit.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But back to this animal over here. So to the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: fans out there, I want people to tell us if
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: they know what the difference is between a monkey and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a chimpanzee. This guy is a chimpanzee. So let's walk around,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: show the whole granite carver. This is done by an
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: artist down in Virginia named Liz Martin, and she remembers
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the Mutua. I don't know if you can zoom in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: on that or not sure, So this is the pitch
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: tournament down into Mutua. We got some Italian names Sierra Calcani.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Can't quite read that one, but oh chipto, barbariery, oh Barbari, Barbari.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: So she did a wonderful job decorating this.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So if people can tell us what's the difference between
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a chimpanzee and a monkey, we'll go from there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: All right, And we've talked about this before, and you've
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: you taught me what it was, and now I can't
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: remember first, but we're coming up on ginger noodles. The
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: artist is Cynthia Christensen. Mattress Land is the sponsor a
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: little bell here.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to shake this guy, but if
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he's off his stand and you shake them, there's actually
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a bell in there that will ridden. But look at
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the hundreds of art items that she is incredible placed on.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Ginger noodles. Just a beautiful dog.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: And again these are all going to be auctioned off

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Dude?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: That's crazy?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Of course, when the coop, I love this.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Everything's got a story exactly.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: When these cars raced, you'll notice they don't have a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: lot of graphics on them. They don't have a lot
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of sponsors. They hadn't thought of that yet back in
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one, two, three, four five. Whereas the new
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: modern cars, we'll get to them down the street. The
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: new modern cars have a zillion sponsors. Sure everything's on there, man,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And that's Kathy Rabinhorset Adams Miles Supply was a sponsor
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on that one. And we're coming up on something new
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: this year. A thunder Road back in the seventies had
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a special class of cars that they call the mini stocks,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: you know, compared to the Koops or the late models.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And these Volkswagons were modeled after the mini stocks that
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: race at thunder Road. Now, this particular one is not
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: an individual driver. It was just decorated by the artist
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: however she wanted to do it. It's Stephanie Hutchins as
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the artist, and she just made it into a blazing woody.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Don't you love the exhaust pipe.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what the race car drivers put on them.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They elevated the bonnets to get air in there when
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they raced these cars, and then of course put the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: exhaust out the back to get a better flow so
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the car would go faster. Right here, Yes, that's been
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: elevated out to get air in there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: The original true Volkswagon would have had that flush flush.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. Lots of detail. Loved this. Wow.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: You got a buddy of mine who's got a sixty seven.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Bug Oh convertible.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Oh nice.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: They only made about four thousand of those, the convertibles.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but convertibles.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Ah, I've got one. Yeah, it's it's uh yeah, it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: quite a car. So so we're over here in front
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of the Berry Social Club yep, new business in town.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And this is the late Model I was talking about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So that's what the late models look like because they
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: down the road. This is Mark Lampbeer. The artist is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Jason Pelke, and the sponsor's Lampeer Motorsports. And all the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: drivers are still alive and autographed these cars. Sorry, so.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Cameras, Oh that's mine.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was dine. Oh hold on here,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'll hold this. You clip that back on. Yeah, okay,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: we've got a little U technical technical calendar. We're good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: We're good. So here's the autograph of the race car driver.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And that's pretty important because it makes the cars more valuable.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. Pretty cool, of course, pretty cool. Huh. Yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it's permanent. I love that. Yeah. I just starting to

• 15:22
  Speaker 1: racing in the last four or five years, they've got
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a zillion things on them. I love it, man.

  Speaker 3: these these art pieces.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Like when you drive down the road and you're looking
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: at them at a glance real fast, you don't realize
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: how big they are until you're right up on them.

  Speaker 4: just because a little kid did it, but.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I just I really love it. I do love to
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: have something like that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Each art, it don't know, has its own story, sure,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and that's what's exciting about it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: The theme as they come up with the ideas.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And this, believe it or not, is her dad, Roger King,
• 17:06

• 19:10
  Speaker 1: In the strap.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, every detail.

  Speaker 1: Then it takes hours and hours for them to fabricate
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: these items and get them on there and then get
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: them decorated properly. And this is a sitting bear, mid

  Speaker 2: Look at the detail.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: This is insane, man. So it takes, like I said,

• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It's appropriate Subways just down the street. And they were

• 22:42
  Speaker 1: job on this.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Check out the boots, the hiking boots.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I've been asked, Carl, if some of these artists can make.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: One of these, they'll they'll do it for people on consignment. Yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: that's what that's what I'm true. Yes, yeah, they can.

  Speaker 1: People can buy the cars from the Berry Rotary Club
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: or a dog or the art items yep, and then
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: contract with the artists to do it. So this one.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many people follow the Bruins, but
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Tim Thomas played for the Bruins for eight years. Played
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: for the University of Vermont. He was a goalie. They
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: won the Stanley Cup while he was there, and he
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: was kind enough to autograph it for me. You can
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: see his video of him autographing this bear on our
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: very Rotary Club website, which is Barryvt Rotary dot com.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Just go to the twenty twenty five art splash and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the yellow banner on the homepage. Pretty impressive, isn't it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: He must have been blown away when he saw this.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: He was, he was. I mean his eyes are just
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like that too. That's of course. I met him for
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the first time when he put the autograph on for me,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: and that was pretty exciting. But he's a great guy
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and he was just so kind to come and autograph it,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and that should push the value of this burea up
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. Absolutely, Are you kidding? That's so great.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, hold on just a second. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to see. Alison Randall is the artist on this
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: one air auto is the Morning Jimmy, How you doing good? Good? Wow?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of exciting. Uh get somebody, uh that's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: well known like that to put an autograph. And all
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the race cars are autographed, as I said before, but
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: if the driver is still alive. We do have one
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: car that's not autographed yet. He's still in Florida, but
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: he'll come up a little while and do it. This
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: is Harold hard Block Canterford and Melody Harvest is the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: artist granted financial group and we're right in front of
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: their building here. They have a connection to uh Sart Automobiles. Wow,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Putnam real Estate Holderness New Hampshire. Not even sure if
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: they're still around. We'll get that. But keep in mind
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: this car raced in the early sixties. Look at the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: detail on the engine. Now this is where Lloyd Hutchins
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: came into play in that he had some of these
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: real cars and Arcana Shop up in Jockey Hollow is
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the manufacturer of these cars, and they went right to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the real car, they measured it, they took videos of it,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: got it digitized, and here's the final product technology.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Man, And look at even the brakes here pocket, Look.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: At well, look at the difference between this wheel and
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: this wheel. This one's offset to race it thunder road?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Who whoa show that again?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Show that? Okay? So see the offset here where the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: tires stuck out a little bit. Look on this side
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you'll notice it's not that way. So remember these cars
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that's down the road go round and round counter clockwise,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: so they offset that tire to give.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: The car more stabilities. It goes around the corner.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Little things like that. That's right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Who notices them?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you who notices them, the people that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of interest in race cars because you've
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: got the race.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Car owner, you got the driver, you got the pit crew,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you got the fans.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, can you tell me what this bear is all
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: about just by looking at it? T one D? Yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: T one D.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Have you figured it out yet?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: No? Okay, Well come back over here for a second.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Take a peek right here. Oh wow. So for folks
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that are diabetics, type one diabetes, So this bear is
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: named T one D type one diabetes, and the reason
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: is because the sponsor, which is VDM Law but specifically
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: John Velson Jacamo, happens to be a diabetic and the artist,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Giuliano Checkinelli is a diabetic, so the two of them
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: came up with the theme together, and then the artists
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: decorated this bear. And again you know, it looks simple
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: when you see it on the video, but this vest
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: has been added on after the fact by the artist
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: by hand. Can you believe that right here? Yep, that
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: whole vest is something that he adds on by hand.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: And they use certain epoxies, they use bondo sometimes, the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: artists use a lot of different types of things. Carl,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this is unreal. I love that. Let me see the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Let me see a camera for just a second. Come
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: back over, let me see because I'm reaching this a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: little bit higher by I just want to show the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: hat up there, you know, the t one. Yeah, so
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you get some detail up there. And the artist's autographed.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: The art items as a rule, quite a bear. Huh.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. And of course we're right here in front
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: of where a VD LAW is upstairs over Nelson Brothers
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: another car Paul Donohue, that's a racing family. Grandfathers sons,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: grandsons all race.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: This was done back in the day. Artist is Jason Kelke.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And Lowriatto Sales is the sponsor on this particular car.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's us what.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to go for some some point, some big Well.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I already know some people that are going to be
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: bidding on a lot of these different art items.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: And what a fun day is.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: I mean even if you you know, even if you
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: don't want to bid, even if you know, just go
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: and enjoy some more dirvs and yep and free ours.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just just watch it all happen.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the program is such that we at the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Bury Roary Club get the sponsors and then we go
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: out and get the artists. We don't pay the artists
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to decorate the art item, but the artist does get
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: thirty percent of the high date at the auction. Okay,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: so that's how the artist gets rewarded. But basically they're
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: doing it for the love of it. Yeah, percent is
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not They've got way more time into it than that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And so this is a real head turner. This is
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the golden goose that laid the golden egg. Right, I
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: love this. Carl Bam Murphy is the artist and of
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: course nelson A Sideware is a sponsor, and we're right
• 29:15

• 29:20
  Speaker 1: like to crack open want one of those eggs, just
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: to see what's inside. I mean, look at this. Can
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you believe it? I'm serious. I mean, and see the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: auctioneer and actually bid live the auctioneer can see the bidder.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: This is a new artist this year for us, Sarah Sprague.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: This is firefighter Flow, so kind of think about the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: green fire trucks. Yeah, remember some of the fire trucks
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: are lime green and then some are red, and then
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: we've got the flow of the water.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So that's that's the theme.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And of course Corey Kitchen and Spirits is the sponsor,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and we're right in front of the Cory, right here
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: on the corner.
• 30:05

• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and enjoy looking at little Holly. Oh yeah, here we go.

• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Got all the teeth in the zipper car, I know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I say. It's like, how does the artist
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: do all the intricate little detail and then decorate it.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's the.
• 31:14
