1:57
Steele, who is the executive director of the Putnam County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
2:00
Kelly, good morning, How are you? Good morning, Dave.
2:02
I'm great. How are you? I'm fine. We're gonna get to know
2:06
Kelly a little bit better later in the show. We're gonna find out exactly
2:08
what it is a Convention and Visitors Bureau does. What are some of the
2:13
big events going on to Putnam County? And of course he always popular ten
2:15
questions, are you ready for that? I'm ready? All right, good
2:20
to go. It's bringing Hannah Gardner from the Canal Charleston Humane Association with our
2:24
Adopt Me please spend of the week. Hannah, good morning, How are
2:27
you great? How are you? I'm doing fine, Hannah, Kelly,
2:32
Kelly, Hannah, Hello, Hello. All right, let's get right to
2:37
our pet and we're trying to get adopted. This is the story of Sailor.
2:42
Is the dog's name this week and I Sailor's pictures posted Dave Allen Radio
2:45
and Facebook and at Dave A seventy on the well I'm still saying Twitter on
2:49
the artists formerly known as Twitter known as x now Hannah's tell us about Sailor.
2:55
Yes, the sailor is a thirteen ish year old boy. I don't
3:04
believe he's fixed yet. But if he's not fixed, I don't know if
3:08
they will do it just because of how bad, not how bad, how
3:14
just how older he is. He does he is a little bit of a
3:17
resource guarter, so when it comes to other dogs around him whenever he's eating
3:24
his food, he doesn't really like that. So you're gonna want to make
3:29
sure that you're either around and making sure that you're working with them when it
3:34
comes to resource guarding, or just teach him to be in the crate or
3:40
something along just eating away from other dogs or something along the lines of that.
3:46
And we could also give you resources on that as well. He is
3:50
very very laid back. He is very very very sweet, very very old,
3:55
and as you can help in the pictures, he also looks like he
4:00
is old. He's very frosty in the face, very very very very sweet.
4:05
He's been in the back office with me for a couple of days now,
4:09
and he doesn't do much. He just wants to lay around and he'll
4:14
come up to you and lay his head on your lap if he wants you
4:16
to put him and stuff, but he pretty much just lounges and that's about
4:20
all. He has shown to be cat friendly as well. He's been in
4:25
the foster home with some other cats and he'd never really paid attention to him
4:30
much. He's seen them, but he never really did much. And if
4:34
you have other dogs, he is sign with other calmer dogs. He doesn't
4:39
really like the hyperactive of the younger dogs. He doesn't really want to be
4:44
around dogs that are super playful. But if they are older like him,
4:48
or if they are already calmed down and they don't really do much, or
4:54
maybe they just play on their own, then I think he would be a
4:56
great candidate. And he does show to be housebroken as well, because he
5:00
holds his potties for a long time. That's awesome. He looks like he
5:05
would be a perfect couch companion, keep your feet warm while you're watching while
5:11
you're watching your Netflix. Yes, yes, he would be a great companion
5:15
for just kind of hanging out. I'm sure he would be fine going like
5:21
on a few little short, little walks and stuff too, if you just
5:25
live in a small little neighborhood or if you just want to go on a
5:28
short little walk. He's just a great dog. He needs he needs to
5:32
spend, you know, the rest of his life in a home. The
5:38
vet don't think too much about him living like too much longer. It could
5:44
be a couple of months, it could be a year, but they don't
5:46
think that he's gonna live too much longer. So we're definitely trying to encourage
5:50
people to come and look at him and give him a chance and just let
5:55
him live out what he has less in a home because he has a very
5:59
very suitable way. How do you're thinking he's about twelve or thirteen? Is
6:03
that right? Yeah, he's he's he's about twelve, folutine, And I
6:06
guess I should also mention it's pretty important that he does seem like he is
6:13
either fully deaf or partially deaf. He doesn't hear very well at all.
6:18
You can holler for him and scream for him, but the moment that you
6:21
start like kicking the ground or like hitting the wall or something, he can
6:26
steel those vibrations. So I'm sure that he can tell that you're trying to
6:30
get his attention, but if you're just hollering for him, he definitely does
6:33
not hear that. And go ahead. I shouldn't say any idea what kind
6:39
of dog that he is, because I mean, I'm not good at I
6:42
guess any things. I looked at the picture. I mean, any idea
6:45
what all he's got anim Hannah, Honestly, I am not sure he He's
6:50
got a lot of skin issues going on. He's off a lot of his
6:57
fur, like on his belly and on his arms and stuff. I don't
7:00
know if you can really tell from the picture, but if you see him
7:03
in person, you'll know that he's kind of balved on his belly and under
7:08
his chin and stuff. But that's just from some allergies to some skin issues,
7:13
and we have been given him most and for it. However, you
7:16
know he would be perfectly fine without it, according to the vet texts and
7:24
the events that have I've spoken with, But he could definitely continue that.
7:29
They don't really think that he's going to have much hair grows back in those
7:32
areas. It's just a matter of just keeping him nice and health happy and
7:38
healthy and clinging. And he's really, really good he's he is about like
7:42
fifty five pounds, I believe, so he's not that big. So he
7:46
would be a great couch companion. And really I always try to, I
7:51
guess throw this out there is try, you know, at least try an
7:55
older dog, Hannah, because as you said, these dogs usually are just
8:01
a lot more grateful. And you and I kind of got the backstory from
8:05
you when you when you send me the information last night that this particular dog
8:09
was given up because I guess his family just couldn't afford him anymore. Is
8:13
that right? Yeah, Yeah, they did love him a lot. They
8:22
definitely wanted him. It's just a matter of they just you know, with
8:26
his skin and shoes and stuff at the time, they definitely could not afford
8:30
that. And you know, we took him in with open arms, and
8:33
we treated them and stuff, and we are just hoping that he gets a
8:37
good home and can send out what he has less and that couch and a
8:41
bed, washing TV and eating some scat food. All right, Dave Nation,
8:46
this is your call to arms. We've done pretty good in getting these
8:50
animals adopted. This would be a great, great pet for somebody, maybe
8:54
an older person. Somebody said a text here Hannah and Kelly, it says,
8:56
a dear Dave, Sailor is your spirit animal. Yeah, he's got
9:00
gray on the face. He just wants to lounge around. He doesn't want
9:03
to do a lot and he doesn't like a lot of noise. You're yeah,
9:07
that's that's pretty much my spirit animal. We'll get back to Sailor here
9:09
in a minute. Again. If you want to see Sailor's picture, it's
9:11
posted on Dave Allen Radio and Facebook and at day A seventy on x.
9:16
If you want a story that's truly going to warm your heart and make you
9:20
say, well, maybe these kids they aren't all bad. On the Facebook
9:24
page of the Canal Valley Humane Association, Hannah, which I shared last night
9:28
on Dave Allen Radio. It's a story of a young lady locally here named
9:31
Abbey. Now, Abbey just turned twelve and all she wanted for her birthday
9:37
was donations for the pets of the shelter. That's what she told her family
9:41
and friends. No gifts, I just want donations of pet supplies to be
9:46
given. You gotta go over to the Canals Charst Humane Associations Facebook page and
9:50
look at the amount of food that young Abbey was able to collect, Hannah,
9:54
pretty good stuff. Yes, yes, she definitely did a great jobs.
10:00
We're so very thankful for her, and we were so excited, you
10:03
know that that's what she wanted to do for her birthday. And then we
10:07
actually have another girl that's turning eight, I believe in a couple of weeks,
10:13
and all she wants for her birthday is just to cuddle some puppies.
10:16
So we're going to take some puppies to or for a birthday and let her
10:20
cuddle on them and bring them back and hopefully they get adopted. That's that's
10:24
that's awesome. What else are you needing, Hannah? As far as donations
10:28
go right now at the shelter, I know that we need we need dog
10:33
food, but you know, we have been getting a good bit of that
10:35
in but you know, we could just we could always use more, and
10:39
then we also could use a little bit of cat food as well, some
10:43
cleaning supplies like bleach and down dish soap. And we also need dog collars.
10:52
I know that we need dog collars. We always need those because every
10:56
dog that walks to the door, we try to put a collar on there
11:00
and so that way it can help us if we need to grab them and
11:03
say good off the leash or something like that, and then we also could
11:07
use some leashes. And we also have an Amazon wish list and a basic
11:13
wish list for like physical items if you want to just go buy them yourself.
11:18
We have that all on our website adopt shots from dot com, so
11:20
if you want to go look at all of that, we have a whole
11:24
list of things that we need and we update that quite freqularly. So well,
11:28
hen I got a text here for you that somebody texted wanted to know
11:31
as the shelter is needing donations for the Putnam shelter, are you doing anything
11:35
with it because there's been some problems there with the Putnam County shelters or is
11:39
the Canalege Shelter any way involved in helping them or do you know anything about
11:43
that. I know that we have been helping him with with them with a
11:48
few things, but with the donations aspect of it, I'm not entirely sure.
11:54
Definitely found out and get back all right, we can do that next
11:56
week when you're when you're back on with this next week, we'll fin I
11:58
appreciate the texture texting in with that, Hannah, anything else going on to
12:03
Shelter we need to know about, not currently. I do know that our
12:07
kegs for Canine just coming up in September, so you know, we'll get
12:11
more into that next time. But keep an eye out on that and look
12:15
on our Facebook because we have all the details for that event. All right,
12:18

You ready for ten questions a little bit later on? I'm so excited Jim
17:22
Strawn, who is mister excitement? Is what us? Right now? Are
17:26
you? Man? I'm doing really, really, really really good. I
17:27
tried to forewarn Kelly that you get a little, you know, edgy with
17:32
these questions. I've got hers scared as I can. But well, she's
17:33
done her homework, she's been listening to the show. She got this down.
17:37
Shelly, good. How are you? I'm great in PC, Putnam
17:41
County, doing well, always well? Yep. I love you, know.
17:42
I was telling you off air. I had nine great years down there,
17:45
Dave. I lived down there from ninety two to oh one. It
17:48
was great. It was in this like Super Growth year. It was like,
17:52
well, it's happening again. They lived through it, and it was
17:55
great once you got home. But I loved the Little League down there.
17:57
I love the growth, I love the store, I love the neighbors.
18:00
I loved all the things we had to do. When I got to Putnam
18:03
County, I just went ahead and stayed there all weekend. I worked in
18:04
Charleston up in Kanawa City, but I loved the being in Putnam County and
18:10
I umpired more Little League games, I think for them and to the face
18:15
of the earth. I was at that baseball field eight hours a day Sunday.
18:18
I've never seen yet another thing I learned about Jim Strown. I had
18:21
no idea you were a baseball umpire. The equipment is still in my trunk.
18:23
If they said, Jim, we got a game of five, can
18:26
you call it? I'll be right there. And a basketball official two.
18:32
I've done a little bit of that, but not officially. That's what Cooper
18:34
should tell me. I didn't know that. Is there anything that Jim Strawn
18:37
can't do. I have done a lot of different things. My claim to
18:40
fame is I just got done saying this. I am not very smart.
18:42
But I know a lot of things. I can do a lot of things.
18:45
Okay, well that's all you need in I get to enjoy different things
18:48
right now. One thing, one thing that you do better than anybody out
18:52
there is MC events. I love I love Live leve By the way you
18:56

21:10
gym, But go ahead and hit that because people have asked, you know
21:12
me, why are they ending early earlier than normal? And so in case
21:18
people miss that, city officials, we typically go from Memorial Day weekend all
21:22
the way to Labor Day weekend, so they're they're backing out for a couple
21:26
of weeks. So we're going to ended on August the eighteenth. School does
21:30
start. I mean when day when you and I went to school, first
21:34
day of school was a day after Labor Day? Ye always probably as well.
21:38
I'm still be a heavily conditioned school starts a day after Labor Day.
21:41
I'm sixty three. I've done a lot of school seasons. That's just the
21:45
way it is in our body. But school starts earlier, and this this
21:48
year in Kandall County, in the Kandalla Valley, I believe it's starting on
21:52
that next Friday, the eighteenth, and so school starts early, and there's
21:57
high school football and that seems to be getting started a little bit early too.
22:02
So just I think conditionally the fall season is here after August eighteenth,
22:07
even though it's still technically summer through mid September. But I think it's just
22:11
to again cater to the kids, cater to the school schedule, cater to
22:15
the Friday night lights. And it wasn't my decision, you know, Dave,
22:22
I would be down at head Ed River Front Park fifty two fridays.
22:25
If we have. You been down under in a snowstorm in January with your
22:29
shorts on. My favorite is when the water is up over the stage and
22:34
someone inevitably will put a picture out there. Excuse me, excuse someone,
22:38
check on Jim. I don't see it now. I mean the waters,
22:41
the waters over Jim's head. Somebody get down. The stays Jim So,
22:45
I love I love Lion Levy. I love being down there with the people.
22:47
The neighbors are great and it's just such a good time. But yeah,
22:49
we're gonna we're gonna stop. The next Friday will be the final one
22:52
and get ready for the school season. All right, sounds good. And
22:56
we're gonna do a little funk tonight. Yeah, we're fucking, yeah,
22:59
we're fucking we're working on a Friday night. All right, brother, that's
23:00
so much fun to say. I appreciate you being here a jamp. We'll
23:03
talk to you with the question. Thank you so much. I got a
23:07
preview of them. I'm I'm gonna be listening. I'm a little concerned,
23:10
Okay, all right, Jim Strong with Live on the Levy and again we're
23:14
doing some funk music tonight. Uh and then uh it's it's over, I
23:18
mean next week and next week, is it? I understand that, though,
23:22
I mean, you know, because there's just so on one hand,
23:25
somebody told me this the other day, Kelly, they said, why do
23:27
we seem to rush everything these days? It's like we don't enjoy you know,
23:30
October comes around, We've got Valentine's candy out, in the stores.
23:33
You know, that's usually the way it works. And right now people are
23:36
pushing I've seen people pushing fall stuff and here it's you know, we're we're
23:40
in the middle of August here, not even quite to the middle of August
23:42
yet. But that's just that's just what we do. And I understand their
23:45
decision because against school, Like when I was in school, it was a
23:48
day after Labor Day. Yeah, and hasn't been that way for quite some
23:52
time because I'm old. Uh and uh, and so it is. Yeah,
23:56
it's hard to compete with the high school football Friday nights. Yeah,
24:00
yeah, And there's just so many other things going on. But you see,
24:03
I know that you and your husband are both big music fans. You
24:06
seem like this is the kind of music that you would because your husband actually
24:07
plays in a band, right, he does. He plays in the Sled
24:11
Dogs, the Sled Dogs, and I've seen them play. They're actually very
24:14
very good. But it just seems like this would be something that you guys
24:17
would enjoy them for sure. Unfortunately, we already have plans, but if
24:19
not, we would be down there. We really enjoy going to live on
24:22
the levee. And yeah, and my son would also really love He loves
24:26
funk music, so he would be super into that. What has it made
24:30
your son? Because how old is your son? He is sixteen? Okay,
24:33
now, so what is it that made him first discover funk music?
24:37
Oh, he just goes on kicks where he'll like get obsessed with one artist
24:40
and then yeah, kicks, kicks. What what is kicks? Like?
24:44
He'll listen to you know, he started with Billy Joel, I think,
24:47
and he listened to Billy Joel for you know, six months. Kicks was
24:49
like a platform. Yeah, because I'm so out of it. I thought
24:53
when you said kicks, I thought it was some kind of a new platform.
24:56
I just like obsessive listening. And so he's he's in a in a
25:00
funk face. Currently. I'm still the guy that those Columbia House for all
25:03
those cassettes. I bought the nineteen eighties, so but I did get the
25:07
ten cassettes for one penny though I didn't get that. So I think that's
25:11
great though, that younger people, because I was always a person that liked
25:15
different music, mainly because I had the most eclectic family when it comes to
25:18
music. I mean literally my family, you know, I got disco and
25:22
whatever from from my mother by my dad's side of the family. He was
25:26
Johnny Cash and it was a little Richard and Ray Charles and then I discovered
25:33
music. But we had at our age, we actually had to go look
25:37
to find music. I mean, we didn't have a YouTube or any kind
25:40
of a downloading way to download music. These kids got it right there.
25:44
It's so easy. They can just find anything. And he finds things that
25:48
I don't even know about already. You know, I think that's great.
25:51
I do too. He's you know, introduced me to a lot of new
25:52
music. And we love that. That's your your sixteen year old was introducing
25:56
you to music. That's a good thing. Our phone cost to five live's

26:36
Chair and Delegate Mike Pushkin in a debate, discussion whatever you want to call
26:41
it, with State Republican Party co chair Tony Hodge the entire show all I
26:47
think we would take the commercials out. It's fifty two minutes, all fifty
26:49
two minutes, just those two, no other guests. I'll be serving as
26:53
sort of a moderator, you know, referee, whatever you want to call
26:57
it. And we are allow for texts to come in and for calls to
27:02
people on two but we're gonna put Mike Pushkin on one side and we're gonna
27:06
put Tony Hodge on the other side and let the fun begin. Well,
27:10
I mean put Michael be on the left, so to speak literally, and
27:15
figured that's right, Yeah, it sounds like a good time. I'll get
27:18
my popcorn ready. Well, I think here's the thing about it. You
27:22
know, in this in this world of political strife that we live in,
27:26
where the other side is the enemy and you can't possibly I think having it
27:30
may turn into a bloody brawl. I don't think it will be, because,
27:34
I mean, at their core, despite the fact that the two of
27:37
them may disagree of they're both decent human beings and they're both friends of mine.
27:41
So I'm hoping that it'll it'll go down that route. But it is
27:45
good that people can agree to set down and talk about that. I think
27:48
that's so important in something that we've lost in recent years, the ability to
27:53
sit and have a good conversation with somebody we don't always agree with. I
27:57
think that's an important, important skill and important thing that we can all learn
28:03
from. And I was talking to someone yesterday said, do you know,
28:06
when, especially with social media, you get into all these arguments, you're
28:08
not going to change anybody's mind, you know, on a Facebook post or
28:11
Twitter or ax or whatever. You're not going to say, well, you
28:15
know what, I've been pro life all these years, but I just read
28:17
what you said. Now I'm suddenly pro choice. Or I was an anti
28:19
Trump, now I'm pro Trump after I read what you said. It's just
28:22
not gonna happen. You're not gonna change people's minds, but you can at
28:26
least listen and have a discussion and try to understand people. So it's really
28:30
important. That's what we're gonna try to do. So you don't want to
28:32
miss that. Pushkin v Hodge Tuesday at nine oh seven or whatever time the

31:48
let's get to know you time, all right, give us a little
31:52
bio on Kelly Steele. Talk about Kelly Steele. Yeah, I'm referring to
31:55
myself with the third person, Kelly Steele, Okay, go ahead. I
31:57
grew up in Logan County, same place as you, Dave. Yeah,
32:00
and unfortunately on the wrong end of the county though, being a Chapmanville person,
32:05
I grew up on Rum Creek. Okay, that's right. You grew
32:07
up in the Logan areas, migrated to chat migrated to the Chapmanville That's right,
32:09
all right, that's right, and then went to Marshall and then have
32:14
lived in the Kenau Valley for ever since, ever since I went to Marshall,
32:19
and I've made my way down to the Hurricane area Tays Valley. Live
32:23
in Putnham County where I work at the Putnam County Convention and Visitors Bureau,
32:29
you know, all all week and then have a have a side job Old
32:32
Try where we do letter press prints and art prints and and some T shirts
32:37
and stuff out of the house. So that's my evenings and weekend fun time
32:42
because you have so much free time, if you like I did, it's
32:45
much free time. So you are the executive director of the Putnam County Convention
32:49
at Visitor Bureau. We've had your counterpart here in Charleston, Tom Brady,
32:52
on the show many times. But here's here's the dumb question. What exactly
32:55
does the CVB do? Yeah, So, a Convention and Visitors Bureau markets
33:00
a destination to places people outside of that destination. So we work to try
33:06
to get people to visit our area to come in and spend their money in
33:10
our local businesses, enjoy our local attractions, stay in our local hotels.
33:16
And so the goal is always to have positive economic impact for our area from
33:22
folks outside and provide a great experience for those visitors that are coming in,
33:27
and ultimately to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in our communities.
33:32
And I would think, I want to get in this a little bit
33:35
later on. I'm kind of jumping ahead of myself here, but I would
33:37
think that there are a lot of maybe misconceptions about Pundham County and uh,
33:45
and it's I've been told, you know, it's it's a place where I've
33:46
I've lived for nine years now. But people say, well, it's a
33:50
bedroom community, you know. It just it's somewhere between Huntington and Charleston,
33:53
because you know have and I get on the interstate every morning a little bit
33:57
after seven and I watch, you know, a lot of the I'm one
33:59
of the ones drive to Charleston and the other half the people are all driving
34:00
to Huntington. But there is a lot going on though in Putnam County,
34:05
especially as it comes to recreation and fun things to do. Talk about that,
34:09
well, I do think that people off I think anywhere you live,
34:14
people saying there's nothing to do here, I mean it's that's a common refrain
34:17
and Putnham County has a lot to do both events like lots of family fun
34:22
events. Our library is very, very active with programming. We have great
34:28
community facilities or parks are wonderful. Valley Park has great trails and sports facilities,
34:36
Eleanor Park has a wonderful disc golf course and hiking and biking trails.
34:40
And then Hurricane City Park is adjacent to Meeks Mountain Trails which is a wonderful
34:46
like thirty mile trail system for hiking and biking. And so there's if you
34:52
like to enjoy outdoor recreation, it's a great place to go where you're literally
34:58
just minutes from some really great local food and shops and amenities, and you
35:01
don't have to travel hours to get somewhere where you can really enjoy the great
35:06
outdoors. Explain where the funding for cbbs come from. Convention Visitor Bureau cbbs
35:12
are funded through hotel motel tax that is collected when you go out of town
35:16
and you stay in a hotel. There's a lodging tax associated with that.
35:21
And a portion of that tax goes to you either your city or your county,
35:25
and they can spend that on certain expenses like beautification projects or parks and
35:31
recreation. And then the other portion of that goes to a convention and visitors
35:36
bureau to help market that area to increase those those those tourism dollars to bring
35:42
more people to your area. Okay, indeed, we're talking with Kelly Steele
35:45
from the Putnam County CVB five eighty Live is brought to you bared by your
35:49
Hometoil baseball team, the Charleston Dirty Birds. It's a homestayd this weekend for
35:52

36:13
promotions, Dirty Birds, gears, schedules and more. Visit Dirty Birds baseball
36:17
dot Com. All right, I'm gonna get a little plug in, Kelly.
36:21
For the place that you call home, at least as far as your
36:22
office goes. That's the Putnam CVB, which is located inside Area thirty four,
36:28
which was an idea that came to, among others, our good friend
36:31
Putnam County Chamber of Commerce Director Ashley offered glance with this and it's a collaborative
36:37
co working space is how it got started. It's just off the Day's Valley
36:40
exit next to the Holiday N and RBS there. This building not only houses
36:45
the CVB, but also the aforementioned Chamber of Commerce, The Putnam County Development
36:50
Authority is in there. I think the Solid Waste Authority is in there.
36:52
And in my opinion, the best coffee shop around in the area, and
36:57
that is Puttnam Provisions and Drift Coffee is coffee that Connie has there. But
37:00
a lot of cool gifts that you can't find in stores, a lot of
37:04
artists and think it's really a cool place that people have never been there.
37:07
Just stop mind check out Area thirty four. That's right, it's a wonderful
37:10
place. If you need a coworking space, you can come in and work
37:14
in the co working room or even rent work pods just for our quiet place
37:19
to have WiFi and have meetings. You can rent conference rooms. And the
37:23
thing I love most about Area thirty four is that it is sincerely, like
37:29
the most positive kind, like just a great, wonderful environment. There.
37:36
We have the best co workers, not only in the CVB office but in
37:39
our partner agencies that share the shared office space there. And I love that
37:45
Putnham Provision provides goods that are made locally that you can come and find locally
37:51
made goods in a locally owned shop right in the middle of Putnam County.
37:53
And the next I guess pretty much every Saturday they do the farmers Market,
37:58
is that in every Saturday thing because Saturday May through October they're having it tomorrow.
38:01
I saw the little add on social media about that. So it's kind
38:05
of in the lot just down from Area thirty that's right like two lots over
38:08
between the Exxon Station and Billy. Sundays there's an open field and that's where
38:15
the Farmer's Market meets none to one on Saturday mornings May through Octives. See
38:17
my good buddy, Hoy Hoy flour got got some great items there. I'm
38:22
kind of a sucker for I mean, people see me and they think,
38:24
well, there's no way this guy eats healthy. Well, I do eat
38:28
healthy, uncertain. I love farmers markets and I love you know, fresh
38:31
fresh maters. You cannot beat summer produce. Yeah, I love it.
38:36
We have a text here says identify activities of Putnam County specifically specifically for the
38:40
age group of thirteen to seventeen. What do we got going on to Putnam
38:43
County for thirteen to seventeen? Lteen to seventeen. So a couple of things
38:47
that are coming up. One is the Zoology Zone is getting ready to open.
38:52
So if you have a kid who likes science younger and all the way
38:55
up through seventeen, if you like reptiles, they have alligators, snakes,
39:00
lizards, frogs, turtles, like everything, and it's a real hands on
39:07
experience. And their sneak peak is coming up August eighteen through twentieth, and
39:10
their grand opening is going to be in the beginning of September. So that's
39:14
a great kind of all season opportunity. Reads entertainment just open. It's a
39:20
it's a mini golf course right uh back in Putnham Village and so it's an
39:24
eighteen whole mini golf course. So that's another fun thing to do now Putnam
39:28
Village. Just I was talking to somebody by this rola because sometimes people get
39:30
the different when you take the Tay's Valley. Actually the first one is uh
39:35
is Liberty Square. That's where targets going in and that's where sports fans is
39:38
ander. But behind that, that's right, it's fun village. That's Putville,
39:44
Big lots, Tai Valley Kitchen, a couple other restaurants are back right
39:47
and and that's where they Yeah, of course is that's right. I think
39:52
technically I was told to the day the put putt is a trademark thing,
39:54
so it is so mini golfs, so you can't call it put putt.
39:57
It's many mini golf, many many golf, something for you and the family
40:00
to do there, Coop, just don't call it put put because that's that's
40:06
trademarked. That's right. Disc Off if if you have a kid who likes
40:09
disc off. There are courses at Valley Park, I think a new one
40:13
at Hurricane Bridge Park and at Eleanor Park and then there's a brand new skate
40:16
park at Hurricane City Park and their their celebration, they're kind of kickoff.
40:22
Celebration is August nineteenth, so it'd be a great time to check that out.
40:25
But that is a wonderful new facility available and a lot of kids down
40:30
there. Every evening it is packed at the new skate park there. So
40:35
there you go. Uh text here, Okay, if my text disappear,
40:38
text said, is the kid's consignments sales still going on? I think it
40:45
does still happen, but I don't have a date for when the next one
40:47
is. Okay, let me see somebody hit send a text. You're totally
40:51
unrelated to this. We'll do this. We'll go to break. Uh that
40:54
it was about an event that's going on in Saint Albans. The Plant's Law
40:59
Office is doing a screening of the movie Sound of Freedom, and that is
41:05
happening tonight and tomorrow night and it's at the LaBelle Theater in South Charleston.
41:08
They're doing it's free of charge. So if you get a chance you're looking
41:12
for something to do, there you go both screening stre at six thirty and
41:14
that LaBelle Theater. I know it's not Putnam County and we're here talking about
41:16

44:54

45:00
in her bedroom. It was some some riff on like everything you need to
45:07
know you learned in kindergarten, some happy you know, happy phrases, and
45:14
just utopian kind of thoughts. Most people would have had a teen heartthrob of
45:19
the day. But that's okay, that's all right. Although I've never had
45:22
one, this is you talking. Although I've never had one. I think
45:25
it may be cool to have a pet. What oh, ferret a ferret?
45:32
Best concert you ever saw? Oh my gosh, Brandy Carlisle and Marietta
45:37

45:43
before she was big. But yeah, it was a car wonderful show.
45:45
Brandy Carlisle is awesome. Yeah, your go to hallmade sandwich. Oh,
45:51
just last night I had some really crunchy toast with smashed avocado, fresh
45:55
garden tomatoes thanks to a colleague, Julie, and and some you know like
46:00
everything basil seasoning or bagel bagel. I'm going to now invent everything basil seasoning.
46:07
That sounds great too. All right. Tell me one celebrity that you
46:10
have met, How did that media come about? And were they a nice
46:15
person? I have never met a celebrity I know you're supposed to do the
46:20
yes, and but like I've literally you, Dave Allen. Oh no,
46:23
I mean truly, I've never met anyone famous, and all of your travels
46:28
and you've never met anybody semi famous. No, no musicians, because I
46:31
know you're a big music person. I am. I mean, here's okay,
46:35
here's a fun story. Adam Harris, who's you know, friend of
46:38
the show, not not at all really famous, but in my mind I
46:43
would go to Mountain Stage and I'd be like, oh my gosh, there's
46:45
Adam Harris. He's so great. And then I met him in a coffee
46:49
shop and he knew my name, and I called my friend and I was
46:52
like, oh my gosh, I just met Adam Harris and he knows who
46:54
I am. So Adam's probably listening to the show because he listens every day.
47:00
So Adam, if you're listening, fan club membership one one. I
47:04
mean, he's now my friend, so it's fine, But at the time
47:07
it was, it was a big deal. Okay, continuing, I know
47:09
this. I know this about you because I've known you and your family for
47:13
a long time. What was the one thing growing up that your brother did
47:16
to annoy you more than anything else. Your brother John Ryan, Oh my
47:21
gosh, he would fill his bowl full of cereal like to the brim before
47:24
he'd put the milk in, and then he would pour the milk in and
47:27
all the cereal would spill out, and it drove me daddy. Okay,
47:32
if you order a salad and your favorite salad dressing is not available, what
47:37
is your backup salad dressing? I don't eat salad dressing, so I do
47:42
either lemon or lime with salt and pepper, so I never worry about salad
47:45
dressing. You don't eat salad dressing? No, I don't like the slimy
47:49
texture on the lettuce promo. Promo? All right, final question? Which
47:58
are you most afraid of or more bothered by? Spiders, heights, water,
48:05
or snakes? I'm sweaty just thinking about it. Yeah, another promo,
48:10
another promo. You have completed ten questions. That wasn't that hard?
48:15
Was so? Yeah? When it's just a way for us to get to
48:20
learn more about people. Now next week, my guest to host on Friday
48:22
is going to be Andy Bernhardt Uh, the anchor person of the w w
48:27
k TV Morning News. She does a great job with that and actually met
48:31
Andy came here to the station to cover our sister station ninety eight seven when
48:37
it was the Mountain when it went on the air, and so I got
48:39
to meet her then. So she said, I want to do that,
48:42
So we got Andy. So but she's got some big shoes to fill,
48:45
especially with that serial story about your brother. Oh he's going to kill me
48:50
for that. Yeah. Also, real quick, I do want to say
48:52
thanks to everybody who came out last night. We did to paint the Capital
48:55
City green. Event last night up at the bill No Flight School, marsh
49:00
University, the Charleston Quarterback Club sponsored that last night. I mean we had
49:04
three four hundred people or so up there. It was packed. That's all
49:07
the photo and I love seeing all that that sea of green. It was
49:08
a sea of green last night as Marshall took over the Capitol City. Like
49:13
you know what, this is a marshalltown. That's right. I just love
49:15
saying things like that, it's a marshalltown. But no, it was.
49:19
It was a big event there last night, and the coaches were there and
49:21
everybody had a great, great time, and so hats off to everybody that
49:23
were able to pull it off myself and Steve Animal or a good friend from
49:27
our sister station. They're served as the MC's last night, it was a
49:30
it was a capacity crowd. And I will say this, if you've never
49:34
had an opportunity to go up to the airport to the bill No Flight School
49:37
from Marshall University. They're doing some fantastic things over there. A matter of
49:40
fact, good friend from my hometown told me his son is in like the
49:44
second or third year of the program up there to become a pilot. Awesome,
49:46
it's really good stuff. So what else you got going on upcoming with
49:52
the CVB, Well, this Saturday is Hurricane Citywide yard Sale, so if
49:55
you're a yard sailor, that's a big deal. And then the West Virginia
50:00
Cupcake Festival August twenty four through twenty sixth, and then on September ninth that's
50:04
Putnam County Homecoming and the Hurricane hundred K. So if you're a very long
50:07
distance runner, it's a great chance. You want to know what ten questions
50:10
went? So fast? Why I left two questions off? Oh my gosh,
50:15
what you got? Because I actually do write this stuff out and all
50:19
right, so we'recome back to ten questions. That's why it went so fast
50:22
because I left two questions off other than this show or the station, shameless
50:25
plug for that, where's your go to place for news honest w V Metro
50:32
News dot com? I said, other than this well x X Okay,
50:39
if okay, this is the final question and the two partner that we did.
50:43
If you're doing karaoke, what's your go to? Okay? So I've
50:45
only karaoke like one time ever in my life. But my favorite song to
50:50
sing, you know, loud in my car is Valerie. Like Amy Winehouse's
50:53
version of Valerie. It's a great that's the Steve Winwood song Valerie. No
50:58
No, no different Valerie. Okay, both are great songs. Okay,
51:00
