• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And our tagline this year is art is anything but Square,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: and we are excited about that, even though all our

  Speaker 4: pieces are primarily square.
• 6:21

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a look at some I want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: see you and we can show them to you that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are watching on.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: The This one is probably.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: One whatever we call the internet the unique.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that will there. It might.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It's like a industrial safe.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It is different. Yes, knobs on it and a spring
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and the light.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It's very elaborate.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: We have a landscape we have.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: This one will set up. This is.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Here. I can take it all right.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: That's that's one. Uh, John recognize that he will have.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: About sixteen pieces of art, so there will be several
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: to choose from.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and people have seen these around town.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He does a great job of taking photographs and enhancing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Them, right.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: And then and of course the vibrant color is the
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: other thing that's very.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Engaging. I guess just kind of draws you in.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So and then this is a piece Nick did this
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately he didn't tell me his last name.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the stray Cats.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, five hundred though, will know the Stray Cats around
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: here and great Car Club and and their car show
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is coming around the corner again. Yeah, but they'll be
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so one of the Stray Cats will want to attend, to.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Be sure, I would think so.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And there's probably a half a dozen of
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: different ones.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: That fit that category.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is a little.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Traditional, Yeah, yeah, for your landscape lovers, there's several.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And there are all these this great size, so they
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: can pretty much go anywhere in your home or office.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And and and you know whether you want to hang
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: them on the wall in your bathroom or or just
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: have a little with several, well you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Could, yes, and there are a few that kind of
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: would fit like in a three canvas series or some
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: things that you can kind of mix and match. This
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: is a watercolor from Monte Toon down Cleveland and.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: She has beautiful or fill at sixty six gas station
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: people remember the original gas station in downtown Bartlesville.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: And then this is a little more graphic type of piece,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and there are several of those. So the variety is awesome.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: You know. That's the fun part about it is that
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: we've got such a great variety of artwork and we
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: just encourage everybody to come by take a look, because
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: there's going to be something there that you're going to
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: want to cover up those beige walls with.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Then a food truck and of course if it's a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Cooper and Mill, there's probably going to be some beer available.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, quite a variety of different drinks and.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: So I think.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And it all goes to support.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: As you said, I mean, a lot of your programming
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: is actually covered by your member and fees as such.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: And yes, but you guys.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Have had you know, through the years. You know, you've
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: been been at different locations and I know you're now
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in a.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: We're just across your here.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: A few years ago and you know there's some costs
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in that and stuff that you have to take.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Care of, you know. That's it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: So but we have a really good board.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: We have a fourteen member board, and they work hard
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and they really have a heart for the art community.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: And that's that's part of our goal to make the
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: art in our community more accessible to everyone, try and
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: make it as affordable as we can, and to bring
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: really good artists into our community for to help people
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: build skills.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and it just makes the community stronger, you know.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I think to have this kind of access to art,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: whether you're you know, we've been doing it your whole life,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: or just have you know, want to something new, exactly
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: being creative, being a you know, taking time to set
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: aside the stress of the day and all the things
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we worry about and focus on something that's inspirational.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: To Yes, you know, it's and I find that it's a.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Big part of balance in life, isn't it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: And I find that when you sit down to the easel,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: all of those other things disappear, you know, you just
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: you get involved with what you're doing and what you're
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: trying to create and how you're thinking, and the world
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: just kind of disappears, and that's that's a wonderful relief.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And that process too, of creation and then starting with
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: an idea or something or something inspiration.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And then ending up with the end result.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of we talk about them, we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: call sparks at the dealership, which is this idea.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Of creating you know, whatever it is right, you know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and that art is like that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: It takes it takes a spark and then does And
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: the other thing that is really exciting about that is
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: when you're in a group, that spark can explode.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Well that's the whole point the dealers.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Exactly, because you get these other ideas that come in.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: And so if you're trying to build like a still
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: life and you want to do a painting, and there's
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: two or three other people there that are working on
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: their own projects, you get inspiration from maybe just an
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: innocent comment and you go.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Wow, okay, that could do it. That's what I need
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: to do.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I need to move this over here, or I need
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: to change this color, or the size isn't quite right,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: maybe the perspective needs a little help.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: And you get that.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Support from those those people around you, those people that
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: are in the same class.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking there must be people out there listening
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to us coin, Well, how do I get involved in this?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And what other opportunities are they are there in the organization,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and so what is the best way to somebody just
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: curious about it?
• 13:04

• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you did them for sponsoring.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: This is coming up.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But you know, those volunteers make a big difference, I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: know in an organization like this, because I doubt if
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you have a.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Large staff, and well we have a one cart time staff.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we actually get a lot done with just

• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you have great if you have a great board,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: good good people in the community and a great community
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: for over seventy years.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: As we said, it's.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Great to finally be having this fundraiser. Hopefully we'll get
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: lots of people out there and sell out all those
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: six by six pieces of art. They're really outstanding, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: lots of local artists and people from the region.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We we've as you guys, have been busy this beginning
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: of November. We've been really busy at the dealership too.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: We've had a great inventory right now, We've got I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: think I looked at I looked at it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: This morning.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We had twenty four Toyotas on the ground, another twenty
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: two on the way. Here a great selection of used vehicles.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: We're getting some good incentives as we get closer to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the end of the year, and interest rates have started
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to moderate a little bit. We'll see you later today
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: what the FED does on their next time around after
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: this hand ringing we've been through earlier this week.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Thankfully, that's all over with.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we can now we can think.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: About that's better, and then it might be good to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: focus on something like that. But I thinkvehicles like the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: land Cruiser rep for the Highlander and Grand Highlander and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Prius actually.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Are now available.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: These are vehicles that Toyota stopped building for a while
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: this year because they identified an issue. You know, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: this is one of the unique things about Toyota. You know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they actually stop building the vehicles they identified the issue,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: rather than continuing and then doing a recall fix and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: fixing them two or three years later. It cost them
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of money and sales this year because those
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: are among their most popular vehicles. But they prefer to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: do it that way. It's the best thing for their
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: customers and that's just how Toyota operates. And but the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: production has begun again we do on the Highlander and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Grand Highlander. We have a few of those scheduled to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: be here before the end of the year, and we've
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: got Prius on the ground right now, some of the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: great new vehicles like Sequoia on the ground and up
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: next we'll have the twenty twenty five for Erunner that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: totally red asigned. And that's another one is that we've
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: been working through the model year and change. We haven't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: had any four runners in a while, so it'll be
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: exciting to have those again towards the end of the year.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the incentives we have going now. I have
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: two point nine percent for seventy two months on twenty
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five Tundra. So great, great to be there to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: get a low interest rate like we used to be
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: able to get a few years ago.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's good, we're seeing you know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It's just it's again a little bit more back to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: normal about a pre COVID type environment with the market
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: used vehicle values are a little more stable and more
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: traditional on how they're they typically contract a little bit
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: this time of year and then start to grow as
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: we move into the beginning of the next year. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: new vehicle incentives kind of grow at the end of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the year, and if you think about it, that puts
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Pressure on the used car values to go down. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: so we're in that space.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So there's some great deals on previous model years as
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: we move into the twenty fives on all our models,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and you know that's a DUNGEUS will be in December's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: our new anniversary month. We used to celebrate in April
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because Ford came first, but now that we're not doing Ford,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: we've got Toyota and so we are Oklahoma's oldest Toyota dealership.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Not quite as old in Toyota as the Art Association,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but since nineteen sixty eight here in Bartlesville, we've been
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: selling Toyotas and proud to be Oklahoma's oldest and what
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: we think is the most trusted Toyota dealer. I did
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: want to mention I've been watching Jeremy Coyle's who updates
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: on Facebook. He's one of our customers who was inspired
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to go to the Appalachia region and start working.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And he's an ex marine and he just.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Went there to help Chain saw him and took his
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: dog and you marine friends of his went down there
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and and I've been checking that out.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: He's he's had a lot of great updates.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And and just you know, he's really just going around
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: trying to help people and and uh, you know, build
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: things back up and you know, we removed debris still
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: if it's there. Yeah, there's still a lot to do
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: out there. I know there's you know, we don't want
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to forget about that, all those people.
• 19:24

  Speaker 5: That's kind of potential.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: You remember, rights a musician. His art is more musical,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: musical that made you blish. Now I don't feature Tom

• 23:03
  Speaker 1: or we'll be featuring many of those Art Association art
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: groups and you know, whether it's the ballet getting ready
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: for the Nutcracker and all that. I was talking to
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: them recently too about they're getting ready for the transportation
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: part of that, which will continue to sponsor.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: And yeah, that's always fun.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: It is fun.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, then if you haven't been to Bartlesville's Nutcracker, that's
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: fun to Yeah, for sure they can. Yes, so stuff
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: going on out of the dealership. I mentioned the great
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Toyota incentence. We also have a good selection of used vehicles,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and we are in the market to buy your car.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I try to mention this every week. But you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: cars around Bartlesville are often among the best used cars
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that we see or are available. I think a lot
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of times the vehicles are pretty well maintained. They may
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: not get a lot of miles on them, just because
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: driving or you know, commuting in Bartlesville. I think from
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: my house to the dealership is three or four men,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, you know, so when I put miles
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: on my car, it's on a longer trip on the highway.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Those are pretty easy miles on a vehicle. So we
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: just tend to have really great cars. And you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: if so, that I think is an advantage. And so
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: if you're looking to sell it, we will certainly give
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you a great offer whether you buy from us or not,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and you can start.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: That process online.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: We've got a tool in there where you can go
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and put your information in and it will give you
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the Kelly Blue Book values on it, which we use
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to help evaluate your car, and that will get it
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: started and we can take it from there, or you
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: can come on in, bring a vehicle in and we'll
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: do it physically there at the dealership. Cool and.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: We've got we try to keep everything simple.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We you know, great market space pricing, non commissioned salaried
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: sales professionals that really focus on your needs rather than
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: trying to sell you a car that you you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to try to make more profit or something. We try
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to keep that out of their mindset. Altogether, the business
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much if you keep it simple, it can take
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: care of itself, and we do. We price our cars
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: where they are a great value when you start negotiating,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and there's really not that much wiggle room sometimes, but
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: we keep it straight up, work the same price whether
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you're on our internet site.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Or on the phone or on the lot, and have
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: great tools on.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Our website like I mentioned to either valuate your vehicle
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: or explore different payments on vehicles. You can go in
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and search for vehicles by payment range. Put in your
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: own personal credit information, search for vehicles by payment range,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: compare purchase to lease to cash vehicle purchase. Look at
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the different incentives on vehicles. Sometimes, like with the interest
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: rate incentive I mentioned earlier, there might be a rebate
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that's a choice between the two things, So you can
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: compare those two. So a lot of those questions that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you use, you know, in the old sales process, you
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and the salesman would work on that for a while
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and then he'd have to go or they you'd have
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to go to the manager and they're these back and forth.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We can eliminate a lot of that and really I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: think it saves you time and money and stress hopefully
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in the process. And you know, that allows us to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: focus just on helping you find that right car and
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: then once you do that, you know, really helping you
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: get the most out of it once you drive it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Because these vehicles today are they've evolved so much. There's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: so much technology on them, and it's great stuff. I mean,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it can keep us safer on the road, give us
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: better accessibility to all our the systems we use in life,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: on our phones and things, but you want to know
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: how to use.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Them and take full advantage of them, and it's a
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: great chance.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: To do that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So if you're interested in that, come see us out
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: at the dealership. And if you're interested in the six
