Chris Granger, owner of Seven Oaks Grand Coteau LLC, and Maison Title, joined Discover Lafayette to discuss his growing real estate empire. He is an attorney, a married father of five young boys, and a force to be reckoned with! While Chris worked with an established law firm for 2 1/2 years after graduating from law school, he knew he was never going to work for someone else very long. In 2018 he opened up his own law practice with his wife's cousin, Benjamin Trant, and then Justin Leger became the third business partner. Business took off. The logo/painting of Maison Title was derived from an old painting found in a rental home. Leah Graeff, Maison Title's Marketing and Brand Strategist, redesigned the painting and the logo's font is based upon one found on an old sweet potato label, the significance of which Chris explains, "Grand Coteau is the sweet potato capital of the world. Justin, Ben and I found an artist who came up with the font. Only 35 years old, Chris bought his first property, at $70 thousand with 10% down through a bank closing, as his family residence in Grand Coteau while in his third year of law school. It was a perfect starter home for his wife, Meghan, and their young family to live in. When they needed a larger home for their growing family, Chris decided to rent out the Grand Coteau property, which reappraised at $105K after the improvements they had done. Chris and Meghan Granger pictured with their young family. Photo from Facebook. "The light bulb went off about leveraging the $35K equity in the home. Let's leverage what we already have. What if I scale this thing? I could own 25 rental homes. My initial goal was to have 40 by 40! That was my mantra. But it happened quicker than that." Chris's whole portfolio is based upon leveraging. "You can't put down 10 - 20% equity in each house you buy." Chris's portfolio grew to 25 properties quickly. "I'm a big believer in community banks. Being able to walk in and talk to your local baker and explain a deal is invaluable. But they tend to have a tendency to pause you if you grow too fast. When I got to 25 houses I remember being paused. It's a small circle. The first 25 loans were with two local banks. That lasted two years where I was stalled. So I went head in with my practice with Maison Title." Today, Chris Granger owns several hundred residential and commercial properties, which include the former Jefferson Street Pub, now known as The Jefferson, Abacus, the historic site location of Straw Cove Baking Company at 111 Monroe Street, and 160 units in two apartment complexes in Leesville LA. Chris's thriving real estate title closing agency, Maison Title, is also located in Freetown in the old Petro House on Jefferson Street as well as another branch in Grand Coteau LA. Chris defines himself as a "pedal to the medal guy," doing 90% of the work. He admits, "I need help with the last 10%." He relies on his manager of Seven Oaks Grand Coteau, Casey, to run the property management duties full-time. "Everything in my mind is about rentable doors. We have a few over 425 doors. 140 single family units." When asked about scaling his projects, Chris has learned from experience. "You always need the extra employee before you can afford them. Learning to navigate the cash flow conundrum where you have enough work, but you also have to take a leap of faith to hire them. You always need the help before you can afford them." We discussed the current housing market and the affordability issue. "There is a lack of housing in the $150-250K range in our housing market. Anything above $300K we don't see a lot of in our practice. $200-300K is what we see. There's a national, local, regional housing shortage in real estate." Flood insurance costs are a real issue for rentals. 'You do well when you have quantity. The goal is to net $200 to $250 per month per unit. Throw on a $1,000 flood insurance policy,

What does it take to run a bar and restaurant? When Owen Burke and his business partner Tony Piraino first ran a bar called Pulse in 2005, the building they were leasing got demolished by the city for future progress.  So they changed concepts, got a hold of a historic building in Greektown, and opened Firebird Tavern in 2013. A decade in one concept is quite the accomplishment in their industry. And recently, they expanded with a second location in Troy, Michigan. In this honest conversation at the Daily Detroit studio at TechTown, we talk about the ups, the challenges, and a lot more. Show notes: 02:21 - History of the building in Greektown and introductions 06:17 - Why do a second location in Troy? 06:44 - The harsh impact of COVID on business, and the long-term changes 08:02 - Traffic feels down in Downtown Detroit to 2008, pre-bankruptcy levels and patterns 10:51 - Extensive plans to convert Monroe Street to be more pedestrian friendly, thoughts and impact 11:51 - The timing of I-375 project matters and it's all interlocked 12:40 - Hard business lessons from the Avenue of Fashion closures on Livernois and businesses closed  13:39 - Lessons learned since 2005 on making a place go 15:06 - Everyone will bring you a Bud Light. What's different about your spot? 17:11 - On keeping staff 19:42 - Biggest changes in the Greektown neighborhood over the years 20:40 - Wrestling with negative headlines for Greektown and addressing issues late at night 23:47 - How important are events like the NFL Draft, Opening Day, and Super Bowl? 26:37 - General advice for others wanting to start a bar or restaurant 30:14 - What to order at Firebird Tavern 34:54 - How to get business? Answer the phone. Follow up. Build the events business. 39:21 - Online ordering is a multiple times the volume in the suburbs than the city. The volume is almost non-existent downtown; in suburbs, it's a key part of business 40:10 - Who thought we'd be paying with our eyeballs? And the fact credit cards are everywhere when a lot used to be cash. Patrons are driving that change, since so few use cash now, credit card companies come with fees.  43:26 - Hopes for 2024 Thanks to today's sponsor, City Bird: https://www.citybirddetroit.com/ (To be clear, they had no impact on the content of the episode outside of their ad read) Support the businesses that support us this holiday season.  Feedback as always - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or 313-789-3211 Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonapple Or Spotify: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonspotify  hanks to our members: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit Or those who do a one-time contribution: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/dailydetroit

Om han inte får hålla på med hiphop så vill han inte längre leva.

14-year-old Colorado girl SHOT while she was making a TikTok video. A 14-year-old girl was shot and murdered while making a TikTok video; three persons, including two minors, have been arrested in connection with her killing. The Monte Vista Police Department reports that at 3:30 p.m. on August 7, officers responded to a shooting call in the 300 block of Monroe Street and located a young female victim suffering from gunshot wounds. When emergency medical services arrived, they pronounced her dead. The Monte Vista Police Department stated on August 11 that detectives had arrested two female adolescents for reckless manslaughter and possession of a weapon by juveniles. Another male, 21-year-old Emiliano Vargas, was arrested on charges of providing or allowing a minor to possess a pistol and failing to comply with the law regarding the secure storage of firearms. It has been said that he was the owner of the pistol used in the fatal shot but was not there at the time. The affidavit states that the cops discovered the woman on the floor "with blood and other fluid" gushing out of her head. The police then reportedly discovered a pistol in a separate bedroom; the house where the shooting took place speculated that one of the two teens had hidden the weapon there after the incident. According to reports, Vargas and another minor shared the Monroe Street residence with his grandmother. A minor was "informed that the juveniles were handling the gun and recording movies on 'TikTok,'" according to one of the two responding cops. Officers were told by one of the minors that they removed the clip and "it simply occurred." In the affidavit, it is stated that because no exit wound was discovered, "the bullet remains in the skull of the victim." The investigation states that Vargas "routinely" allows one of the minors to use his gun, which he leaves "visible and unlocked on a top shelf," because he "trusts" them. Teenager Aaliyah Salazar, 14, was named as the victim by KUSA-TV. She "had just become a teenager and [was] so excited to attend her freshman year of high school," as her obituary puts it. Aaliyah had a number of pets, including three dogs, a cat, a turtle, and a few hamsters, for which she was "the proud mama." She "knew she was going to be famous one day" because of her interest in creating TikTok videos KUSA report.s that some of Aaliyah's relatives think the gunshot "was on purpose." The Colorado State Attorney's Office is apparently in charge of the investigation. Wisconsin inmate claims he had sex with a jail supervisor twice A prison administrator, age 37, was arrested and charged with having a sexual relationship with an inmate. The Racine County Sheriff's Office received information concerning a possible relationship between Racine Correctional Institute supervisor Jacqueline Heidt and an inmate on August 24, according to a press release. It has been reported that investigators seized Heidt's cellphone and uncovered evidence, including photos and messages, to back up the accusations. According to the Sheriff's Office, the claimed romance started in April and lasted until August 4. The detainee allegedly informed investigators that they had sex in Heidt's office several times a week. According to the Sheriff's Office, the two engaged in "sexual intercourse at least 20 times, but less than 40 times." As well as having sexual relations through intercourse, the two allegedly engaged in other sexual activities. The Sheriff's Office claims that Heidt was interviewed on August 25 but rejected the allegations. After being shown the phone evidence, the Sheriff's office said she "changed her manner and stopped responding questions." Reportedly, Heidt was taken into custody and charged with second-degree sexual assault by correctional employees, misconduct in public service, and delivery of illicit materials to a prisoner. She has a bond set at slightly over $1.1 million and is still being held in the Racine County Jail. A 49-year-old man was given a 35-year prison term for his persistent sexual assault of two minors. The Collin County District Attorney's Office alleges that Mark Jones, who had unrestricted access to two children, aged 10 and 14, for a number of years, sexually molested them. Apparently, the victim penned a letter to God describing the abuse, and one of her parents later discovered the letter and informed the authorities. The District Attorney's Office claims that the note's discovery led to the identification of a second young victim. It has been stated that both youngsters were interviewed by authorities and disclosed the existence of abuse. The District Attorney's Office stated on August 29 that Jones was sentenced to 35 years in jail without parole for his long history of child sexual abuse. Greg Willis, the district attorney for Collin County, made the following statement: "When even one child is victimized by a sexual predator over a long period of time, it is a tragedy for the entire community. It's unthinkable that this pervert sexually harmed not one but two young children." A grandpa is believed to have punched his daughter's fiancé after he exposed himself to the child, who was then 5 years old, at their home. After reportedly exposing himself to a 5-year-old girl, a 22-year-old man was arrested last week on multiple offenses, including attempted rape. Attempted rape of a child, indecent assault, unlawful contact with a juvenile, corruption of minors, and indecent exposure were among the charges against Aaron Cunagin, who was detained on August 24 by police from the Middletown Borough Police Department at the Pineford Apartments. His bond was set at $150,000 and he was put into the Dauphin County Prison. Penn Live reports that Cunagin and the girl were in the girl's bedroom/playroom at the time of the alleged incident. There are rumors that the girl's grandfather felt it strange to see his granddaughter sitting on Cunagin's lap, but he nonetheless left the room. When the victim's grandfather returned to check on him and Cunagin, he allegedly found Cunagin with his pants down and his genitalia exposed. It was also said that the girl was barefoot and pantless. It has been stated that the grandfather yelled, punched, and phoned the police on Cunagin. Police say Cunagin told them, "Simply, the thought occurred to me. I went in and out of arguments with myself. Feelings of numbness pervaded me. I sat there thinking while holding it." When questioned further about the nature of "it," he allegedly revealed that he was referring to his privates. According to the Centre Daily Times, which also relies on court documents, Cunagin is accused of saying that he was "fighting himself whether or not to have sex with the victim." The Centre Daily Times reports that the girl said this happened four other times, although Cunagin denied it. He reportedly proposed to the granddaughter of his late father.

14-year-old Colorado girl SHOT while she was making a TikTok video. A 14-year-old girl was shot and murdered while making a TikTok video; three persons, including two minors, have been arrested in connection with her killing. The Monte Vista Police Department reports that at 3:30 p.m. on August 7, officers responded to a shooting call in the 300 block of Monroe Street and located a young female victim suffering from gunshot wounds. When emergency medical services arrived, they pronounced her dead. The Monte Vista Police Department stated on August 11 that detectives had arrested two female adolescents for reckless manslaughter and possession of a weapon by juveniles. Another male, 21-year-old Emiliano Vargas, was arrested on charges of providing or allowing a minor to possess a pistol and failing to comply with the law regarding the secure storage of firearms. It has been said that he was the owner of the pistol used in the fatal shot but was not there at the time. The affidavit states that the cops discovered the woman on the floor "with blood and other fluid" gushing out of her head. The police then reportedly discovered a pistol in a separate bedroom; the house where the shooting took place speculated that one of the two teens had hidden the weapon there after the incident. According to reports, Vargas and another minor shared the Monroe Street residence with his grandmother. A minor was "informed that the juveniles were handling the gun and recording movies on 'TikTok,'" according to one of the two responding cops. Officers were told by one of the minors that they removed the clip and "it simply occurred." In the affidavit, it is stated that because no exit wound was discovered, "the bullet remains in the skull of the victim." The investigation states that Vargas "routinely" allows one of the minors to use his gun, which he leaves "visible and unlocked on a top shelf," because he "trusts" them. Teenager Aaliyah Salazar, 14, was named as the victim by KUSA-TV. She "had just become a teenager and [was] so excited to attend her freshman year of high school," as her obituary puts it. Aaliyah had a number of pets, including three dogs, a cat, a turtle, and a few hamsters, for which she was "the proud mama." She "knew she was going to be famous one day" because of her interest in creating TikTok videos KUSA report.s that some of Aaliyah's relatives think the gunshot "was on purpose." The Colorado State Attorney's Office is apparently in charge of the investigation. Wisconsin inmate claims he had sex with a jail supervisor twice A prison administrator, age 37, was arrested and charged with having a sexual relationship with an inmate. The Racine County Sheriff's Office received information concerning a possible relationship between Racine Correctional Institute supervisor Jacqueline Heidt and an inmate on August 24, according to a press release. It has been reported that investigators seized Heidt's cellphone and uncovered evidence, including photos and messages, to back up the accusations. According to the Sheriff's Office, the claimed romance started in April and lasted until August 4. The detainee allegedly informed investigators that they had sex in Heidt's office several times a week. According to the Sheriff's Office, the two engaged in "sexual intercourse at least 20 times, but less than 40 times." As well as having sexual relations through intercourse, the two allegedly engaged in other sexual activities. The Sheriff's Office claims that Heidt was interviewed on August 25 but rejected the allegations. After being shown the phone evidence, the Sheriff's office said she "changed her manner and stopped responding questions." Reportedly, Heidt was taken into custody and charged with second-degree sexual assault by correctional employees, misconduct in public service, and delivery of illicit materials to a prisoner. She has a bond set at slightly over $1.1 million and is still being held in the Racine County Jail. A 49-year-old man was given a 35-year prison term for his persistent sexual assault of two minors.

After somehow finding themselves in a somewhat brief 10-minute aside about Kraft Mac & Cheese, Taco Bell, Disneyland, and waterparks, Clint Walkner and Nate Condon dive into another installment of their journey of going from working in the Broker-Dealer (BD) space to owning and operating a Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm. In this episode of B-D to Fee-Only RIA, Clint and Nate focus on scaling in terms of staffing, spacing, and technology. After starting as just Nate and Clint for the first five years, Walkner Condon grew to a third advisor in 2017 and a fourth advisor in 2018. The trend of adding an advisor for a third consecutive year in 2019, with the addition of Keith Poniewaz, who was the first member of Walkner Condon's team of U.S. expat financial advisors. Then in 2020, the firm grew by two advisors – both of whom joined the expat team – as well as the firm's first full-time marketing staff member. In four years, Walkner Condon had gone from three total staff members to nine, necessitating another addition in 2021 – a second full-time client service specialist. That brings us to mid-2022. A move to add another advisor is in the works as of the publishing of this episode, bringing about another scaling concern – space constraints. At soon-to-be 11 total staff members split between two workspaces in the Walkner Condon building on Madison's Monroe Street, space is quickly running out. Walkner Condon moved to the current space in July 2016 and built out the separate suite in the building on Monroe St. and Glenway St. in 2018. Based on general consensus, 11 people between the two spaces seems to be the maximum for the current setup, which means another space option is in the not-do-far-off future. And all that growth has also brought on the need to become more efficient with technology. One of the biggest pieces of that technology is the client web portal. Starting in mid-2021, Clint – the de-facto tech guru of the team – began the search to potentially replace Walkner Condon's existing web portal. That search ultimately culminated in early 2022 with the rollout of the new client portal, one of the biggest technology moves the firm had made, especially considering how large it had grown. While that's the what – and not-so-concise summary – of the scaling over the last several years, listen to the episode to get Clint and Nate's take on how it happened and why.

CARLETON, Mich. – A Carletonman received 28 staples in his head after being viciously beaten by several members of a biker club because he accidentally bumped into one of them while leaving a bar, police said. Carleton police officers were called Saturday (April 2) to the Wolf's Den Bar in the 1400 block of Monroe Street, they said.

More traffic enters Tallahassee through the U.S. 27/North Monroe Street gateway than anywhere else. But the corridor has slid downhill in recent years, prompting a push by Leon County to address the issues that contribute to those problems. Leon County Commissioner Rick Minor, whose district encompasses the corridor, appears with some members of the citizens' task force that worked on the project over several months: former FSU Transportation Expert Jo Penrose; Big Bend Continuum of Care's Johnna Coleman; and former state government staffer/now entrepreneur Ron Goldstein.

* The Redevelopment Agency authorized a pre-development agreement with Tesla Redevelopment, which is pursuing the concept for the 300-unit Bridgeview project across the river from downtown. The concept calls for the development of the entire block around Clarkson Place, Essex, Monroe and Bridge Street -- which includes a PSE&G substation at the corner of Monroe Street and Clarkson Place. The pre-development agreement allows the agency to be involved in property acquisition, according to Redevelopment Director Robert Landolfi. The agency likely will be involved in the acquisition of at least one foreclosed property and it's easier for the agency to deal with PSE&G than a private developer, Landolfi said. While the agency can't condemn the property, he said it can help identify another property for the utility. The five-story Bridgeview concept would be about 300 units across two buildings -- one with 140 units and another with 160 units -- on the entire block. The original concept plan had developers acquiring five parcels of about 1.8 acres. The newer plan includes 11 properties that total about 3.25 acres. There have been instances in Rahway where original concepts didn't make it through the final version partly because of property acquisition. Listen to the podcast for more on that. * The Redevelopment Agency and City Council renewed contracts at their January meetings with the redevelopment director and city administrator. Robert Landolfi serves in both roles, technically he's not an employee but rather an independent contractor, through Landolfi & Associations Government Solutions Corporation. Both contracts are for $65,000, a combined $130,000, and run through 2021. Looking ahead: There are no scheduled municipal meetings this week: City Council will next meet Feb. 8. The Redevelopment Agency's next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 17.

Siamo a Chicago, ed è il 4 Dicembre 1969. Siamo vicini al Lago Michigan, in una zona verde con parecchi parchi che si chiama Monroe Street. È molto tardi, sono le 4 di notte, quando 14 uomini pesantemente armati si avvicinano ad un appartamento. Otto si fermano davanti all'ingresso principale, sei vanno verso il retro. E aspettano. Alle 4:45 scatta l'irruzione: un uomo di colore che sta facendo la guardia viene freddato da alcuni proiettili al petto, che lo uccidono immediatamente. Dal fucile che ha in mano parte un solo colpo, dovuto ad uno spasmo involontario mentre muore. Il commando continua a sparare verso un appartamento, lo bersaglia con un centinaio di proiettili e poi entra. Nell'appartamento ci sono quattro uomini e una donna incinta di 9 mesi tutti afroamericani. Un uomo in particolare nonostante sia ferito da alcuni proiettili alle spalle sembra intontito, non reagisce, è come se si fosse drogato pesantemente. Il commando armato lo trascina giù dal materasso, lo porta alla soglia della camera e gli spara due colpi a bruciapelo in testa. Poi dà fuoco all'appartamento, costringendo i tre uomini rimasti ad arrendersi prima di morire bruciati vivi. Solo che i tre uomini vengono arrestati e non uccisi, perché il commando armato non è la mafia o qualche organizzazione criminale. Il commando che assalta quell'appartamento è composto da agenti di polizia di Chicago, a inviarli è stato il procuratore Procuratore della Contea di Cook Edward Hanrahan, e quell'appartamento è abitato da alcuni membri di un'organizzazione rivoluzionaria statunitense afroamericana che si chiama Black Panther, Pantere Nere. L'uomo morto che era di guardia all'ingresso si chiama Mark Clark, ed è un membro delle Pantere Nere. L'uomo che sembra drogato non è un drogato, è stato drogato. È l'obiettivo del raid della Polizia di Chicago, e a sedarlo è stato un infiltrato dell'FBI nell'organizzazione che si chiama William O'Neal, che alla cena della sera prima gli ha fatto assumere a sua insaputa una dose di barbiturici. L'uomo giustiziato dalla polizia di Chicago è giovane, la settimana prima aveva assunto il ruolo di portavoce nazionale e capo dello Staff del Comitato Centrale delle Pantere Nere. Si chiama Fred Hampton.

Peter Schorsch is back to recap what was supposed to be a year's worth of Florida news. However, rumination and verbosity hold sway as we cap 2019, so enjoy this last pod of the year!

On the night of January 15, 1955, at the Coliseum on Monroe Street, thousands o fans had come to boo and cheer and look for blood—at the local wrestling matches. They saw what they had come for—phony and faked wrestling, featuring the curly-headed blond Gorgeous George. They also saw blood. Or was that blood? Here’s the story.

This week, Jonathon and Keith sit down with Itaru Nagano and Patrick Sierra. The former top chef of L'Etoile and his business partner talk about why they chose Monroe Street for their new venture, their background at Madison's premier fine dining restaurant, and Itaru's passion for perfect culinary technique. Fairchild will be opening later this Spring in the former Jac's space on Monroe Street.

In the early 1950s, a group of well-off men and women from the Village of Ottawa Hills formed a theater group for entertainment. Their first shows were presented with a tent as their theater and were held in Ottawa Park. As the group continued to prosper and grow, they began to look for a new, permanent home. A small church building on Upton Avenue between Monroe Street and Central Avenue was acquired in the mid-1960s, and renovations began to turn the chapel into a true theater space. Incorporated in 1956, The Village Players Theater has evolved over the years into a friendly, open, community theater presenting a wide variety of productions.Over the years, new seats, state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, and numerous “work days” have turned the humble chapel into one of Toledo’s most-beloved performance spaces.Walter Cronkite is Dead by Joe Calarco (comedy)September 6 – 14, 2019A fierce thunderstorm has shut down airports up and down the East Coast. Two women, who appear to have nothing in common, are stuck in a waiting area at Reagan National Airport. Patty is a chatty southerner—a blue-collar woman from a red state—who is almost physically unable to tolerate silence. Margaret is a Washingtonian, reserved, educated, liberal and not interested in sharing her thoughts, or her table, with Patty. Forced together for a long night in a public place, the two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen. Their conversation is funny, difficult, deeply revealing and astonishingly frank. Patty and Margaret share details of their lives that lead them to a place of kinship neither of them could have imagined. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion lives on in this insightful comedy about what might be possible if people from opposite sides of the political aisle would stop shouting and take even one night to listen.Get more info and tickets at thevillageplayers.org

Cobie and John discuss the details for the 4-H Village exhibits for the upcoming Mississippi State Fair. Transcript: Announcer: This is 4-H-4-U-2, a podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here now are your hosts, Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. John Long: Welcome back 4-H-4-U-2, and I am one of your hosts, John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie Rutherford. John Long: All right. Cobie, we just literally got back yesterday from our trip to the Southern Regional Professional Leaders Network. Is that right? Did I say that right? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think that's right. It was a conference of acronyms. John Long: Yes it was, for sure. We needed a catalog of the acronyms because I was lost. That was our first time there, but I had a good time. It was in New Orleans, so that's always a big time. Cobie Rutherford: The Big Easy. John Long: Yes. The Big Easy. What was your favorite thing? Of course you can't say New Orleans without, or New Orleans without saying something about the food. So what was your favorite? We did not eat beignets, I will say that. So go ahead and we can scratch that from everybody's minds, but what was your favorite thing we ate there? Cobie Rutherford: The favorite thing I think was, gosh so many good foods, but probably the crawfish etouffée. John Long: That was really good, wasn't it? Cobie Rutherford: That was a fantastic. John Long: Mine was the oysters Rockefeller. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, they were good, too. John Long: I've never had that before and it was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I'm ready to go back. John Long: I am, too. I am, too. Cobie Rutherford: Just do a tour of food. Go buy some pants that are a couple sizes too big and just grow into them. John Long: Grow into them. Yeah, you can do it down there for sure. Cobie Rutherford: Without a doubt. John Long: Yeah. Great atmosphere. And that was your first time going. Cobie Rutherford: It was good. It was good. I got to meet several people from across the south and learn what they're doing to make their 4-H program successful in their state, so maybe we can bring some of that back to Mississippi. John Long: Yeah, I definitely think we've got some things we can brainstorm on for sure. So, that was really good. But we're not talking about that today. We're going to be talking about what's upcoming in our world and hey, everybody else for that matter is one of the greatest things we have in our state and brings people from all over, And that's the a Mississippi State Fair. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: And 4-H has a role in that, so let's talk about that. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think that sounds good. You know, growing up the State Fair was always fun to me for livestock projects. But as we would go there and see all the other things that the 4-H'ers from around the state were doing, it was kind of neat to put all that stuff together and have it in one location. John Long: We never went to the state fair. Cobie Rutherford: Really? John Long: No. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I guess the only reason we went in Alabama was because of the livestock. You go out to the Midwest and it's like a huge thing. Everyone goes to State Fair. John Long: Right, Iowa State Fair. Cobie Rutherford: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, it was- John Long: Nebraska. Cobie Rutherford: Yep, Nebraska. Big, big events. And Mississippi kind of almost has a Midwestern feel to it. It seems like a lot of people from all across the state go down to State Fair. John Long: Right. Well I know we've made it our family tradition, and I wouldn't want to stop it now for anything because it is a lot of fun, especially out there on that midway. John Long: We do have some 4-H related activities other than the livestock and different things, so what is it exactly we're going to be talking about today 4-H related? Cobie Rutherford: So, the main point of today's podcast is going to be the 4-H Village. Last year was my first 4-H Village experience and last year- John Long: Was no bloodshed. Cobie Rutherford: There was no bloodshed. It was fantastic. We set up all these different shops in the Trade Mart Arena. Now I understand we're going to be in a different location this year and hadn't got all those details worked out. John Long: Right. Cobie Rutherford: So we're going to do a few things different, but basically this is a chance for 4-H'ers from across the state to enter their exhibits that they've already competed with on a county or district level, and have them judge on a statewide basis. It brings awareness to our programs, to what our volunteers are teaching our youth, and it's a really neat thing. All exhibits from produce, fruits and vegetables grown in the 4-H'ers gardens, all the way to a creative arts exhibit. John Long: Right. You know, we heard that term this week when we were at that meeting being the best kept secret. And you know, it's strange to think because we're so involved in 4-H and we know what 4-H has to offer, but there are so many people out there that really don't know what 4-H does and it's a perfect opportunity for that, right? Cobie Rutherford: That's right. And you know, besides the recognition of coming down and competing in a statewide event, like you said, it's a great public relations piece for us because it showcases our 4-H'ers. Wow, they did that through a 4-H Club? And just kind of opens up those doors of opportunity. John Long: Right. This is actually probably one of my favorite times of year, is State Fair, and it's because we get to see these exhibits that these young people put out. It's a really amazing, some of the creativity, and I always step away thinking, really they use that ... I do the environmental shop or help with environmental shop, and it's amazing what kids can take an item, a recycle item or something like that, and make something of use out of it, you know? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. My favorite last year were the gallon jugs that the children painted pink and made- John Long: Pigs. Cobie Rutherford: Pigs out of them. John Long: Yeah, the pigs. Cobie Rutherford: And what were those, planters? Or were they piggy banks, or what? John Long: I can't remember. Wasn't they planters? Cobie Rutherford: I think there were planters, yeah. And then, I mean just all kinds of things. John Long: You know what my favorite one was? Cobie Rutherford: Which one? John Long: The wind driven car. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah, yeah. I do remember that. I tell you the one that I remember most, I'm not going to say the least favorite, but the one that stands out to me was the creative arts division, those children were making the door wreaths and one had made a clown for Halloween. John Long: Oh, I remember that. Cobie Rutherford: Do you remember that orange wreath? John Long: It was like Pennywise, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it was definitely a good decoration for the Halloween holiday. John Long: Right, right. It was kind of creepy though, looking at it in the shop every time I walked by. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it was like looking at you. But what I thought was- John Long: Wherever angle you were at. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, the eyes were kind of creepy. But it was kind of neat, especially in that creative art shop, is how many of those items could go towards like an entrepreneurship. Kids selling those to make money for field trips or whatever. I mean, there was a lot of legitimate items in there that I would buy as a consumer. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: And even that the kids made it, it was that much more appealing. John Long: Absolutely. They do put a lot of work into those exhibits, for sure. But what other, I guess when we're talking about the village and us judging the exhibits, and of course we have our judging day, but what's our main, I guess, day that we have that's 4-H day? What we call 4-H day. We want to talk a little bit about that too, obviously, because when we talk about showcasing 4-H, that gives us at least a one day or a morning to where we have activities for the young people that might not even be in 4-H, but as an outreach to those that are or are not. What are some of those things that we do during that time? Cobie Rutherford: So first of all, I guess 4-H day is going to be held on Saturday, October 12th. John Long: It's good to know what day it's on. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's a key thing when you start mentioning that, "Oh my gosh, I better get my calendar in front of me." John Long: Yeah, right. Let's pull it back up. Cobie Rutherford: So, 4-H day at the fair is just a plethora of a lot of different activities. So we have, of course, all the items on display, all the exhibits that have been judged already with the ribbons hanging up, but we also have several other events and contests are taking place. So the one I kind of host is the 4-H public speaking contest at the fair that's held at the Mississippi Cattleman's Association building right there on Monroe Street, and that was a great time last year. I know that we have also the fashion review, which is a lot of fun. I don't really know, I think that's where the children select an item of clothing and model it, or do they make their own, or is there two divisions? John Long: I think there's two divisions on that. Cobie Rutherford: I think you're right. One is homemade and then one is selected. John Long: That's correct. I think that is correct. Cobie Rutherford: So, that was a lot of fun last year. Kind of watch the kids model their garments was kind of cool. Also, you had quite a few safety activities last year, right? John Long: I did, yeah. The caveman skeet was a big hit again, and that was, of course, trying to break the clay targets. I don't know, based on where we're going to be, if we're going to be able to do that, and it's not a firearm related activity, by the way. Cobie Rutherford: It's a cave man. John Long: Yeah, a cave man. We did not have firearms day. But we're taking basically a sock filled with beans and throwing it, trying to break a clay target that's set up. But that was a lot of fun. Of course we had making hand turkeys. That's always a big favorite. Face painting. We had some really good face painting going on. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I do remember that. Somebody painted up our boy, didn't they? John Long: Yes, they did. Cobie Rutherford: What was he, a tiger? John Long: Yeah, it was a tiger. Cobie Rutherford: I thought I remembered that. John Long: Did you remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Cobie Rutherford: Uh-uh (negative). I don't remember that. John Long: I've got pictures. I have to show you that. The clown was creepy. It was just then the process. It turned out really good though. Cobie Rutherford: Huh. And those activities were done by our ambassadors and council officers, right? John Long: Yeah. Jaylin was actually was at one station. Jaylin being Jaylin, our president. Our former state president, I should say, we've had on the podcast. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah. John Long: But she did that. And I can't remember who else was helping her, but anyway. Cobie Rutherford: That's going to be a fun day for sure. John Long: Yep. Cobie Rutherford: What I'm looking forward to, and I messed up this year. John Long: What'd you do? Cobie Rutherford: I was doing the work assignments and sending those out to the agents, trying to line up judges and all that kind of stuff for the activities, and I had made a mental note to myself to make sure that I judged the culinary arts division at the fair. John Long: Oh, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: And for some reason I forgot about it when I was doing those assignments. So, totally jealous of those- John Long: You have the power to change that though. Cobie Rutherford: I've already sent it out, so once you hit that send button it's kind of done. John Long: Oh, okay. That's right, it's out there. Cobie Rutherford: But all those cookies and cakes and breads and things those 4-H'ers turned in last year, they looked fantastic. John Long: They did. They really did. I try to stay as far away from that as I can because I know the midway's coming. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, yeah. But you know, the midway is costly. John Long: Ah, you're not kidding. Cobie Rutherford: If you're serving as a judge, you get to sample all that goodness for free. John Long: True. For free, yes. Free is good. Free is good. I'm sorry, we're going to have to have a sidebar. What's your favorite fair food? Cobie Rutherford: My favorite fair food is probably funnel cakes. John Long: Yeah, those are good. Cobie Rutherford: Those are my favorite. Messy, but good. John Long: I have a thing that I try something different every year. I've done the fried Twinkie. I think I did the fried Snicker bar. I don't know what I'm going to try this year. Cobie Rutherford: So bar none, my favorite fair food I ever had was at the Kentucky State Fair, and it was a Krispy Kreme hamburger. John Long: Really? Cobie Rutherford: It was so good. And I mean, I got it fully loaded with the cheese and ketchup and mustard. I didn't get lettuce or tomatoes or anything like that on it, or onion. John Long: Right. Was it basically two donuts- Cobie Rutherford: Two donuts. John Long: With meat? Cobie Rutherford: With meat. John Long: Heck, you could try that at the house. Cobie Rutherford: Well, I don't know what it is about fair food, but everything's always better at the fair. John Long: Oh, I know. Cobie Rutherford: I think it would be disgusting trying that at the house. John Long: Maybe. Maybe. Cobie Rutherford: So, I don't know, maybe those hamburgers were cooked in donut grease or something. John Long: Probably. Probably. I want to try the, what is it called? The meat Sunday or something like that. I never had that. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, the hot beef Sunday. John Long: Yeah, I've always- Cobie Rutherford: You know, I don't know that they still do those. John Long: Oh really? Okay. I missed my chance. Cobie Rutherford: They used to do those, but that's something we make it home. John Long: Oh, okay. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, just get some mashed potatoes and put some roast beef and gravy over it with cheese. That's really good. And if you like tomatoes, put a cherry tomato on top. John Long: You can tell it's getting close to the lunchtime here while we're recording this. Cobie Rutherford: I know. That's the- John Long: Okay, so we really got off track and I'm sorry about that. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that's fine. John Long: Well, it was all fair related. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's right. We were okay. John Long: Yeah, but anyway. Cobie Rutherford: Other division that ... John talked about the shops while ago, and we have the agribusiness shop, and that was cool last year. We had opportunities for kids to turn in different projects they had done within the animal sciences or plant sciences systems. Some of them who grew up on cotton or corn farms actually brought produce from their family's farms to be exhibited and judged. We had kids that made rope halters for goats and sheep or whatever they wanted to use them on, but I think of all the shops, I'm most envious of your environmental shop. John Long: I love it. I feel so fortunate to be in that one. Cobie Rutherford: The recycled items were probably by far most creative, but putting together those tackle boxes, those things are really useful. John Long: They are. They really are. We go back to the creativity, but then there's the functionality exhibits that we have, as well. I really think it teaches a lot, as far as you think, "Oh, we're putting together tackle box," but you really need to make sure that you have everything in there. You know what I mean? It's laid out and it's very specific and it's very functional. One time I will say though, I had somebody that had this catfish stink bait and it looked like it was about 30 years old. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, geez. John Long: Oh, yes. So when I opened the tackle box, yeah, it was disgusting. It was. Fish may like it, but it was pretty gross. Cobie Rutherford: It'd probably bring them out, I guess. John Long: Yeah, make sure you got fresh supplies. Cobie Rutherford: You know, one thing that I kind of- John Long: They haven't found live worms yet though, so that's good. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that'd be fun. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: The thing that I was surprised that more people didn't enter last year was making the first aid kits. John Long: Yes, I know. Cobie Rutherford: I only had like four of those last year. John Long: I know. I know. Cobie Rutherford: And something that would be pretty useful. John Long: Oh yeah. Yeah, definitely, for sure. For sure. Birdhouses, I think were a number of birdhouses. We always have a good number of birdhouses. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: I always liked, and I'm going to reveal something, I love when somebody ... Of course this is going out fast, but the DVDs or the CDs that they make for coasters. I've seen some really nice coasters made out of CDs. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, that's interesting. John Long: Yeah. That's compact disc for those younger listeners. Cobie Rutherford: Oh yeah. John Long: Before we had- Cobie Rutherford: When we get ready to retire somebody will have our archaic iPhone and make birdhouses out of them. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: Birdhouses with WiFi. John Long: That's right. That's right. Cobie Rutherford: You know, the other shot that we hadn't mentioned much is the fashion shop. John Long: Yes. Yeah, that's true. Well, we kind of touched on it in fashion review. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that's true. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: The fashion shop, I was overwhelmed at some of the things that they came up with last year and how good of seamstress- John Long: Oh, yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I guess is seamstress gender neutral, I think. John Long: Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I think that's the right word. So, I don't know. Young men are getting- John Long: Taylor. Cobie Rutherford: Taylor, maybe. They put together some of those garments that were really, really good, from apron's to I remember one pretty exquisite dress that somebody had done last year that was really neat. Cobie Rutherford: The other shop is the horticulture shop, and that was pretty fun to judge because that's where the youth had brought in items from their gardens. Maybe three tomatoes or basket of green beans or three apples. That got to be pretty interesting. You'd think, well some of those things may not be in season, but however they plan their garden to make them be in season for State Fair took a lot of planning and prep. John Long: Right. And then they get to replace that later, right? They stay out on display and then they get them ... How does that work? I haven't judged that shop, so I don't know. Cobie Rutherford: So, there are two different entry days that they can turn them in on. The first would be that Tuesday, October 2nd, or they can submit them the following week on the Tuesday and have it out. John Long: Okay, okay, okay. Cobie Rutherford: So we have Marcus Davis takes care of that, of course, on the second day. John Long: Okay, cool. Yeah. Thank you, Marcus. Shout out to Marcus. He's awesome. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, so that's a pretty neat shop. I thought, well if you wanted to, if you went the grocery store and bought them items, put them together, but really, there's no financial incentive to do that. So, we know our 4-H'ers are growing these products themselves, because if you win a blue ribbon that's not probably going to cover the cost of buying that thing at the grocery store. John Long: Right. Exactly. What's the point? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, it really makes that negligible, I guess. John Long: Right. It does. It does. Cobie Rutherford: What is the other shop? So, safety- John Long: Oh, Clover. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, Clover. John Long: Oh, I love that shop. I love that. Cobie Rutherford: Do you remember they a toilet paper snowman? John Long: Cloverleaf. Huh? Cobie Rutherford: The toilet paper snowman over in that shop last year. John Long: Oh, yeah. I remember that well. Cobie Rutherford: That was pretty cool. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: One county did Christmas decorations with their clover leaves or clover bud kits, and they- John Long: The Clover Shop. Cobie Rutherford: The Clover Shop. John Long: Just say it's the Clover Shop. Cobie Rutherford: So these are kids under 4-HH, so five to seven generally. John Long: Right. Right, right. Cobie Rutherford: Well, they stacked up rolls of toilet tissue and then put two beady eyes and drew some decorations on them, made snowmen for decorations. John Long: I'm not laughing at the exhibit, I'm laughing because I'm remembering how cute it was for sure. Cobie Rutherford: And, they were all good. John Long: Oh, every one of them. Cobie Rutherford: And the agent brought up like 15 of them at the State Fair. I just thought- John Long: If you do one, you're going to do 15. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I just thought to myself how funny they were all stacked in their car driving down the road, beady eyes shaking. That was pretty cute. John Long: That is. That is nice. Cobie Rutherford: I don't know, there were some real creative ... That's just the one that stood out. John Long: What was that other one? Yeah, I don't remember nothing else. You got my mind on the snowmen or the toilet paper snowmen. John Long: What's the shop, I'm just going to say it for Cobie, because some people may not even know what we're talking about, but to the left of that? What's the name of that? That's where they do a safety poster or- Cobie Rutherford: I think that is the health and safety shop. John Long: It is health and safety. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Like say no to drugs posters and things like that. Cobie Rutherford: Right, and that's where we had the first aid kits. They were a part of that shop. John Long: Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. Cobie Rutherford: There were quite a few posters in that shop. This year I think our poster theme for that shop is how 4-H inspires youth to think. So, kind of continuing on with that theme. John Long: That's right. That's good. Cobie Rutherford: and at Congress. John Long: And then, of course, we get the photos that were at Congress that are going to be displayed there. We do that every year. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, that'll be- John Long: Those were from Congress, right? Cobie Rutherford: That's right. They submit them at Congress. They were judged sometime this summer, and then we'll display them there. John Long: Cool. Cobie Rutherford: We've got a lot to do between now and then, John. John Long: We do, but it's going to be fun. Now last year, I don't know, we had some other activities for the 4-H day. I know that my son did Lego's. I don't think we're going to be doing that this year. Cobie Rutherford: No, I don't know. Dr. Morgan's going to, she said, come up with something. John Long: Okay, cool. Cobie Rutherford: But you know- John Long: She's creative. Cobie Rutherford: No doubt. Oh my gosh. John Long: Listen to that podcast we had her on. Cobie Rutherford: She has got it figured out. All those STEM activities she puts on. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: I know she'll come up with something good. John Long: Great educator for sure. Cobie Rutherford: I know 30,000 Lego's in a tent can be hard to keep up with. John Long: Yeah. Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: So, I'm not sure how we'll do that. John Long: So, we're going to be in a tent this year. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. It's going to be outside of the livestock barns. They told us it's going to be really nice. John Long: That's good. Cobie Rutherford: Air conditioning and 24 hour security out there to protect the exhibits. John Long: So, don't worry about the exhibits. Go ahead and throw that out there. It'll be okay. Cobie Rutherford: And it should increase visibility. I mean, everybody is going to be walking through looking at things. John Long: True. Cobie Rutherford: We've got some pretty cool decorations we're going to use. John Long: Good. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Rest in peace to the village. John Long: We'll have a moment of silence. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: Yeah. I don't know, it won't be much moment of silence. Cobie Rutherford: It aint going to be much. I don't know what's left of it. John Long: Ah, well we always seem to pull it together every year, but this year you don't have to worry about getting ... The blood letting may be less. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. John Long: Anybody that's set up fair knows exactly what we're talking about. Cobie Rutherford: That was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun, the comradery last year. John Long: Absolutely. Absolutely. Cobie Rutherford: So Larry's gone, the village is gone. What have we done to 4-H, John? John Long: We're still here. We're still here. We're still green. But anyway, but yeah, it's a good change I think. It's like you said, I think it's going to get a lot more visibility for sure. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I think so, too. John Long: Yeah. Thanks to everybody that's making that happen, too. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, no doubt. We're going to be sending out a lot of information over the next few day through social media venues. We've also got National 4-H Week coming up pretty soon. John Long: Oh, yeah we do, don't we? Wow. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. That'll be going on simultaneously with the fair, so we've got to come up with some cool things to do during that week. I know the county agents are getting all the information today. John Long: Oh, well be sure and check your inbox, I guess, for that. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Well, that's awesome. Oh, and fall's going to be in the air. I found out that apparently the first week in September we're supposed to have a cool front move in, so it's going to be more seasonal. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, good. Nice.
