32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: event organizers and police have made some real strides in

00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: recent years, so hopefully it's a good day with not

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,039

00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: Don't know off the top of my head. I mean

00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's field Days or any other of

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: the regional holidays. You know, it's a big deal locally,

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: particularly particularly given how long Cup and Show week go

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,920
