  Speaker 3: deal going on this weekend. I thought I'd let her
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: tell you about it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Let's hear it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk. This weekend is our famous Western Heritage
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Days weekend. And actually, this year, we're going to start early.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: We're going to start on Friday. So everybody polish up
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: your boots, get your cowboy hats on. and come up
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: for a dance, a street dance Friday night. And they're
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: also going to show our films, the Tom Mix silent
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: films on the screen, or I'm not sure exactly how
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: they're going to set it up, but we're going to
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: have the dance going on. And since they're silent films,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: we're going to be playing those. And then of course,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Saturday is all day dressed up, things in the park,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: free events for the kids. There's going to be wagon rides.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: There'll be dancing and singing too. They'll have the big
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: stage set up out there. The parade, I think, will
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: be at 5, which everybody likes to come in for
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the parade, the longhorns and all the acts that will
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: be in the show down at the fairgrounds, which is
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: that evening, Saturday evening. So Friday and Saturday, make plans,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Western Heritage Day weekend.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't hurt to go visit the museum those
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: two days either.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Well, we're going to be open, the hotel will be open,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and there's just no telling what's going to be happening.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: That'd be great. And, you know, it's great to see
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: those longhorns. They don't really stampede. They kind of mosey.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You know, usually it's been kind of hot, but we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: look like we're going to have great weather for this.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I think it's timed very well this year.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, we couldn't have done it better.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Gwen, did you talk to somebody upstairs about that? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's on me.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on you. So this is a wonderful weekend.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You expanded it by a day. Yes. And added more activities. And,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of course, the Wild West show is always one of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the ones that takes... Boy, that draws a crowd. It
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: draws a crowd.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And then I'm going to put a plug in for
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the museum since you brought that up. You know, we
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: always do a fundraiser. And so I have to give
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: a big shout out to Henry Rifle. We've been doing
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: this for... I've been around for 15 years, and we've
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: been doing this for about 12 now.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So we....
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We're going to sell tickets, chances, for a Henry rifle.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: This is going to be a different deal this year.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going to limit it to 150 tickets to be sold,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: $ 20 each. Let me tell you about the rifle, though.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: It's a Henry Golden Boy. 357- 38 Special. The serial number
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: on it this year will be a one-of-a-kind Tom Mix 2026,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: which is very unique.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Wow, how'd you pull that off?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: How did I pull that off? Let's give another big
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: shout out to Henry Rifle, made in the USA.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Very good. You got some pretty cool friends.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been doing, I've been in the museum for,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I don't even know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I was going to ask you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Eight or ten years, I'm not even sure.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: But what he does for us, people might not realize,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: you know, and you hear people say, oh, I need
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: bug control, or I need, you know, I've got a
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: mice problem, or I have this, or I have that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: We can't have that in the museum.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Period.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Not of any kind. We can't have moths. We can't
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: have bugs. Crickets really love, and I don't know where
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: they sneak in at, but they don't make it. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: it's because of this guy right here. I don't know
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: what happens to him, but I can sweep him up
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: and take him out. So Anyway, the museum cannot ever
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: have any kind of pest infestation.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That's hard with the doors open coming and going.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Coming and going. It's an older building. You know, I mean,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: there's places they kind of like to sneak in. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Quentin has been doing it for years. We wouldn't have
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: anybody else. He comes once a month. I highly recommend
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: if you have any type of problem or you need
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: pest control, he's the guy. I love him and Don.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: They're awesome. They're good people.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, if it's good enough for the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Tom Mix Museum, it's good enough for your house.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Yes. You know?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about what you do business,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just like the Tom Mix Museum.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's all kinds of different businesses. You have restaurants.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You have offices.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Then you have specialty places like this. And you just
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: got to treat every account individually because every account has
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a different issue and different– We have to be real
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: careful about all the artifacts at the museum.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I was just fixing to say that. And you can't
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: just trust everybody. So a lot of trust put into him.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I don't unlock those cases for just anybody.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: No, you don't.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: But we have to do that occasionally, you know, to
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: have a special treatment. Yeah, because, again, I'll say you
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: cannot have any type of bug infestation. And he gets
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: to do that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He's the man. You're not spraying prey. You know exactly
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: what you're doing and you really zero in on things,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: don't you?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And we do that. We do that right across
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the street. We do the Dewey Hotel as well.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And it's if no one's been there, it's a pretty
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: cool place. It's pretty authentic.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It's I would say most of the stuff is pretty authentic.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: pretty much according to the time of the hotel.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: And you'd be surprised, locals that come in and say, oh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I've never been in here. We will both be open Friday, Saturday.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Come on down. Please come see us.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You know, those were some of the two first places
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I visited when we first moved here. I mean, I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: thought it was as cool as all get out.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Well, we've only been open 58 years this year.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: And the hotel's only been around since... 1899.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Come see us.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I've only been here like eight years. You know, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that was one of the first things we did. We
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: zeroed in on both of those historic things. Both of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: them have great stories upon stories upon stories. You're not
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: looking at just two stories, one each. There's a ton
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: going on there. But one of the better stories is
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's bug free. Both of them. You ain't going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be bugged. Yeah. So when it comes to residential properties,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you do the same thing. Every house is different. Every
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: customer is different.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Every customer has a different issue. And sometimes it's not
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: an issue. Sometimes they just want maintenance. I have one
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to do on Wednesday and no real problem. They just
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: want to get something started because they moved here from
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: somewhere and they haven't had any one set up to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: do it yet. And then this time of year, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: have mice coming in. You have wolf spiders and garden
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: spiders coming in. There's a lot of those yellow orb spiders.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I like them. Some people call them banana spiders. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: ask people, can we not kill it? Because it's never
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: going to hurt anything. They're just the big yellow spiders
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: up on the webs, a lot of times in front
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of a window. And you can go throw bugs in
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: there and watch them go to work on that bug.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: It's really a cool thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They're kind of doing some work for you, really.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're not going to hurt. I mean, you'll
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: see them about this time of year, and then they
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: go away.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Are those the riding spiders that make the real pretty ziggy-zags?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Charlotte's Web was a wood weaver, yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wow.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But these are bigger. They're the big yellow and black ones.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, every house is different every year. situation
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: is different. You just got to take it one step
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: at a time. I always go do an inspection and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: then you figure out a plan after that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Sure. I mean, that's the best way to do it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Always the best way to do it. And getting back
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to the big weekend here, there are folks going to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: be coming down from Kansas folks coming in from Missouri, Arkansas.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And it's one of those times where, you know, Dewey
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is like the universe of Western heritage.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I will actually have, she's a cousin. Her name's Theresa Mix.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: She's a professor at one of the colleges in Kansas.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: She's written a little book. It's a kid's book. And
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen it yet. I've heard a lot about it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: So I've asked her to bring it along. And so
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: she'll do a little book signing. So like I said, everything,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: you know, we kind of try to center around the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: kids and, you know, let them have fun on Saturday.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: And then also Gordon Hill, which is Tom Mix's actual grandson,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: he will be in attendance. He will be coming this year.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Now, there's a happy guy. I've never seen that man frown.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: He comes to town. He's got the big hat on.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You can't miss him. He's pretty tall.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: He's tall.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Tall.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Very tall. Tall.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he'll gladly have a conversation with you, too.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So it's always great when Gordon comes to town. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't think he misses much.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: No, he doesn't. So he'll be around. He should be
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: here by Friday and Saturday for both days.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: That would be something else.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: And everybody should come see him. He loves to do
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: autographs and, you know, talk to you and tell you
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: stories and things.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And, folks, if you haven't been to Dewey, first of all,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you've got to see the museum. You've got to see
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the hotel. But kitty corner from you, you've got the well.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Tony the horse actually.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Drank from the well. Yeah, they filled it in, of course,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: but they leave it there. I mean, and I'm glad,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: you know, I see people all the time. They take
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: their pictures by there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They do. They take pictures of that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: There's a jail back behind the hotel as well.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Right. Oh, really? I didn't know that that was that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: It was the first jail in this territory, right?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not exactly the same, but it's representative.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: No, they had to move it and work on it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: What's real is the bars on the door. It was
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: kind of crumbling, and they were not going to let
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: anybody see it anymore, and it's where the new water
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: tower was going to. So they reassembled it or remade
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: it and used the old iron doors and all the windows.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: So it's a replica as best they could. But it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: over right beside the hotel.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yep. That's what that is. Yeah. The more you know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Walk by it 20,000 times.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: We should lock Tom up in there and see if
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: they'll bail him out. There you go.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That may be a fundraiser, right?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Or not.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Or not.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Let's see if he eats the food. Oh, my gosh.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You're planting some dangerous ideas in people's heads now, kids.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Dangerous ideas. But this is great. That is all this weekend,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday. And this has grown ever since I've
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: been here. I've watched it just kind of grow incrementally
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: each year. I always went there just because I've never
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: seen Longhorn cattle before. You know, being a guy from Illinois,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you don't see too many of them.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Sadly, COVID tried to knock everybody out of everything. So
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: I think we've made quite a remarkable comeback.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: That was a good bounce back.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Got to put a shout out for Carlotta Gordon and
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Richard Heinrich and all those folks. And then all the sponsors.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: If you drive up and down the highway and you
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: see those signs this time of year, Hey, those people
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: have sponsored. They've put their hard-earned money into supporting us.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: So everybody needs to, you know, help those guys out
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: because they're helping us.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Very good. And thank you for helping, Quentin. You know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you brought Flan in to tell us all about it. Now,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: how folks can get some help from you. How do
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we get a hold of you?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: So you can give me a call at 918-440-8797. Or
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you can find me on the Internet. It's apestsolution.com or.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I've got a little Grim Reaper on the side of
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: my truck, and it's the roachreaper.com. So Roach Reapers, my
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: son came up with that a long time ago, so
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I actually thought about getting in the Neowalla Parade with
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the Grim Reaper outfit, hold his break in with some
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: roaches on little.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Remote cars chasing the... I haven't done it. I was
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: going to do it for Christmas Parade, but my wife
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: thought that was a bad idea to have the Grim
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Reaper as Santa Claus. Neowalla Parade would be fun, though.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: But it's... We'll let you in the dupe, right?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we can do that. We can get a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: little bit more flexibility.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We can put you on TV, too.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We can do that on TV. Oh, man. Well, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: want to thank you for coming in. And I want
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to thank you, Dawn, for coming in, too. It's been

• 12:12
  Speaker 1: grand weekend. Dewey will be the center of the Western universe.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The Western world universe, as it always is whenever we
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: have the Heritage Days. And it doesn't cost a dime
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to walk downtown, walk around, have some fun.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Just take your time and enjoy the day.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's going to be gorgeous, too. I'm looking at sunshine
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and 86 with a light breeze. Now, how many times
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: are we going to get that?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It's not happening for.
