00:00Hey, this is Danielle Flynn, I'm out for City of the Week.

00:08I am here with Mayor Sarah Bowman, Founders Fest, kicking off tonight.

00:14Sarah, what time is it?

00:16It is Margarita o'clock, according to my watch.

00:19Let's go!

00:20It's like Niagara Falls.

00:22You want to jump in that thing.

00:24So, they're getting prepared for Fido Fest, and one of the things you can do if you have

00:29a dog that's properly trained and you're a better dog owner than I am, then you can

00:32bring your dog out here.

00:33And I've seen it before in the years past.

00:35Dogs, like, jump.

00:38It's amazing to see live.

00:40Yeah, it's super fun.

00:41And the events start on Friday at 10 a.m., and they go all day Friday, all day Saturday.

00:46An insane amount of events if you want to put your dog or dogs into those.

00:51But also, if you're just like the casual dog owner, we're like, I'm just going to shake

00:54this out.

00:55There's plenty to do there as well.

00:57And then, Sarah, you were telling me you got new stuff, like, specifically for teens.

01:02What's going on with that?

01:03Yeah, so we're bringing back the X-throwing that was really big last year.

01:07X-throwing!

01:07Yeah, it's like a big truck that comes and says, throw it at the...

01:10So we can't do it right now?

01:11Not yet.

01:12Dang it!

01:12We're setting up!

01:13What kind of Founders Fest is this, Sarah Bowman, Mayor of Farm A10?

01:18There's no pool, but it's coming.

01:19There's a gaming truck also for the kids that, you know, want to game and be social at the

01:24same time.

01:24Plus, you can get your kids out of the house by being like, it's fine.

01:26You can go in over to Founders Fest and you can play video games there.

01:29It'll be good.

01:30Absolutely.

01:30Then you wrap up with live music, Saturday night.

01:33Saturday night.

01:33Queen Tribute Band!

01:35What's the name of that band?

01:36Simply Queen!

01:37Simply Queen!

01:37You don't even have to say anything, Sarah.

01:39I'm just a talking machine.

01:40That's all I'm here for.

01:41So we're over at Sweet and Sticky Experience Backyard Barbecue.

01:46This is Bentley and Anastasia.

01:48And you guys are cooking this stuff for 12 to 15 hours.

01:52Is that correct?

01:5215 hours, yeah.

01:52That was the first question I asked you about your pulled pork sandwiches.

01:55I think you asked us, do we have coleslaw?

01:58You see, I'm right.

01:59We have coleslaw.

02:00We also have a seven-layer, seven-cheese baked mac and cheese.

02:06I am dying!

02:07Oh my God, that's so amazing.

02:10And you guys are open all throughout Farmington Founders Fest.

02:13Absolutely, we're excited.

02:15Get over it.

02:15This smells so good right now.

02:17You've got to smell what I'm smelling.

02:19Bentley, you're doing it well.

02:20All right, we're hanging out with John and Dave.

02:22And they are going to take this pile of sand and turn it into a mermaid.

02:28This is part of the children's area at Farmington's Founders Fest.

02:33John, how long will it take you to turn this pile into a mermaid?

02:39Well, we will definitely be done by Saturday afternoon.

02:43Probably about 16 to 20 hours between now and then.

02:48Do you guys have to remove it?

02:50We don't, but somebody will.

02:53I mean, somebody owns the sculpture when we get done.

02:56Smart.

02:57That's smart business practice right there.

02:59That is.

03:00Saves my back.

03:02But somewhere they use this sand to fill holes or in the kids' playgrounds.

03:06We add nothing to it, so it's very environmentally friendly.

03:09When we get done with it, it's just like we brought it out of the ground.

03:11So kids can play in it.

03:13You can drive on it.

03:14You can roll in it.

03:15Cats can poop in it.

03:16Yeah, there you go.

03:18All right.

03:18Well, we look forward to checking out the mermaid at Founders Fest.

03:20Please come back and check us out.

03:22All right.

03:22So we walked around downtown Farmington, and my syndicate cup is empty.

03:27I'm close.

03:28Oh, my God.

03:30Well, I talk more than you do.

03:32Well, I talk more than you do.

03:33That's a scary statement right there.

03:35Sarah Bowman, mayor of Farmington, Founders Fest going on all weekend.

03:39Farmington!

03:40Farmington!

03:40Your city of the week with 94.7, putting you on the spot.

03:45Love it.

03:46Thank you so much once again, CSX, for being the greatest rock and roll station in the state of Michigan.

03:51We are so happy to have you.

03:52That was so mayoral.

03:53We are so happy to have you.
