they do it, but their seltzsare fantastic. They really are. If
you're into something drinking something light ona nice hot summer day, the seltzer

is definitely the way to go ifyou ask me. It is gonna be
a lot of fun there. There'salso some kids' activities. There's a children's
art activity Saturday afternoon at two.They've got the Kasa Cow Bingo, the
cash Cow Bingo thing, which isgoing to be a lot of fun.

of July weekend, right, Imean talk about that? Yeah, I
know it's crazy. You know everyyear we get people say, you know,
I don't have anywhere to camp.Can I come out and camp?
At your place, of course wecan. We still have ten camp sites
available, and I think we stillhave some bookup sites available. So if
you have a camper or an RVand you need power or sewer, then
(04:11):
I think I'm pretty sure there's someleft, at least in the grove cool
which is out by the parking lot, and it's nice and shaded and quiet
at night, so there's certainly opportunitiesthere if you're looking for a great weekend.
Absolutely, and Winstock is so cool. It was started and it is
currently being run by the Wyandott CountyYoung Professionals. This is an all volunteer
organization. The money that they raiseon this and other activities go right back
(04:33):
into the community for so many differentthings, from scholarships to helping with the
theater to the splash pad work thatyou guys done. You've done a lot
of things now with that though,you couldn't do it without all of the
sponsors, And I knew you wantedto talk about a few of the sponsors.
It seems like everybody in town hopsin to help out, but you
have some key sponsors you wanted tomention. Brian, Yeah, we couldn't.
(04:57):
You're right, we couldn't do thisabout our sponsors with First Citizens,
National Bank, Diamond Door, Kumbuk, Feeds, Perspire, a Quest,
Federal Credit Union, United Insurance.The Ohio Arts Council actually is a big
backer of ours also and they kindof reached out to us, so that
was very very nice of them,the Wine, Dot Medspa, Walmart,
as Aboy. We've got lots ofgreat support in the community for this event,
(05:24):
and that's, in my opinion,a testament to how it's been run
over the last ten to twelve yearsand just how quality of a product you're
getting. Like nobody wants to puttheir name on something that's not good,
but I think what we have isa pretty good show. It really is.
