We're doing well since I'm number two.
Ron Arenas (1:10)
Ron number two, yes.
Scott Tilley (1:12)
Getting ready for that big event.
Ron Arenas (1:13)
You have a huge event. You have two events.
Ron Kirk (1:16)
Yeah.
Ron Arenas (1:16)
Big weekend for you guys.
Ron Kirk (1:18)
It is.
Scott Tilley (1:18)
It is. And I see a little bit of a possible storm brewing that I hope it holds off until Saturday. Did they say Sunday?
Ron Arenas (1:27)
At least the phone did.
Ron Kirk (1:28)
Yeah.
Scott Tilley (1:28)
I saw a prediction of maybe late Saturday.
SPEAKER_1 (1:30)
So I hope it holds up.
Ron Arenas (1:32)
I hope not.
Scott Tilley (1:33)
Yeah.
Ron Arenas (1:33)
I hope it's supposed to be clear all weekend up until yesterday afternoon. I saw something. It's not good. Yeah.
Scott Tilley (1:40)
Yeah. So hopefully, fingers crossed, we're still just cleaning everything up, getting everything ready to go, building fences and doing some last-minute details. The tent will go up tomorrow.
Yeah. I mean, we're going to have a mechanical bull. I can't wait to get a couple of my board members on that mechanical bull, see if they can go eight seconds.
Ron Arenas (2:07)
Okay. I see you looking at me.
Scott Tilley (2:08)
Yeah, I was going to say, we need Ron on that thing. Yeah. There'll be some face painting. We'll have a little pumpkin patch, horseback rides, just kind of like a promo to the ranch and what's going on, the programs that we do. And we're having our grand opening Friday night. So a lot of our sponsors and people that helped out with the big move, we're inviting to that grand opening.
We've got a QR code right here. So if you're coming to the grand opening, you can scan the QR code. We'll throw this flyer up on the...
Ron Arenas (2:46)
On Facebook, on social media.
Scott Tilley (2:48)
Yeah.
Ron Arenas (2:48)
And you've had it on social media several times.
Scott Tilley (2:50)
Yeah. And the grand opening is from 5 to 8, and that's Friday night.
So really not going to have all the other things going on.
Ron Arenas (3:00)
Right.
Scott Tilley (3:01)
But...
Ron Arenas (3:01)
And the weather should be perfect.
Ron Kirk (3:03)
Friday at least. I mean, it should be absolutely perfect.
Scott Tilley (3:06)
It's been rather breezy, which is a little windy out there.
Ron Kirk (3:09)
Yeah, I know.
Ron Arenas (3:09)
It's kind of weird.
Scott Tilley (3:11)
But then Saturday from 12 to 5, we're going to have food, vendors, crafts. The Mechanical Bull will be there, pumpkin patch, face painter, horseback rides.
You know, it's just going to be a really good family fun event. So bring the kids.
You don't need to pack a lunch because we're going to have food there. Wonderful. Lots of activities. It's a $25 bundle, and the bundle will get you basically, you know, your ride to the Mechanical Bull, a horseback ride, access to the pumpkin patch, you know, to all the activities. So that $25 bundle for those kids, they'll be entertained for a good five hours for sure. So come check it out. It is, you know, we're a community ranch. We've got about 60, about 64 animals on the property. So we've got chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, pot-bellied pigs, goats, sheep, miniature horses, miniature donkeys, and then a bunch of full-size horses.
Ron Kirk (4:16)
Right, yeah.
Scott Tilley (4:17)
Yeah, should be a good time.
Ron Kirk (4:18)
No miniature cows?
Scott Tilley (4:20)
No miniature cows. It is on the wish list.
