Expert Chimney Cleaning Black Hat Cleaning has been helping homeowners for over 44 years.

D

ecember, 2021: Get ready for cooler temperatures and a cozy home by first getting your chimney and dryer vent cleaned. Debris like birds’ nests and leaves, and creosote could be lingering as potential fire hazards in your chimney. As for your dryer vent, lint doesn’t just accumulate in your lint trap; it can also build up in your dryer vents. As most of us know, this lint is extremely flammable; it is the build-up of this lint that can lead to dryer fires.

So before you light that first log, be sure you won’t be sparking a chimney fire.

Approximately 23,000 chimney fires occur every year, causing nearly a billion dollars in damage, and potentially the loss of lives.

Having your chimney professionally cleaned annually will help you avoid a disaster.

You can prevent a chimney fire with three easy steps: • Have your chimney professionally inspected and cleaned. At the beginning of the heating season, hire a chimney inspector to examine your chimney—specifically, the chimney liner and ventilation. The chimney inspector will check for creosote build-up, cracks, and leaks, and make sure the vent is in good working order. A good chimney sweep thoroughly cleans the chimney, flue, and vents.

recommended to be cleaned depending on wood-burning consumption, with a standard recommendation of professional sweep every 3 to 4 ricks of wood burned. Gas burning fireplaces only need to be cleaned every 15 to 20 years. “If you’re not sure if your chimney needs cleaning, at least have it inspected,” David said. “If you’ve never had it cleaned, clean it!”

Dryer duct cleaning is sometimes overlooked by homeowners but should be a top priority regarding fire safety.

Many home fires are caused every year by the lint that gets trapped within the pipes and, once ignited, can quickly burn throughout a home. “Dryer lint is the best thing you can use to start a campfire,” said David. “It is highly flammable. You don’t want that trapped in your dryer vent as a fire hazard.”

David’s sound advice for homeowners is only a small part of the comprehensive service provided by Black Hat. Honesty and integrity are at the forefront of his business practice and what his customers see when they see him in his top hat. “My customers know that they can trust Black Hat Cleaning to be honest, and take care of them, give them peace of mind.”

Over the years, just as David’s hat has gotten taller, the services have evolved to become more efficient, time-saving, and thorough. Chimney cleaning can take up to 45 minutes. David loves his work and the people he serves. “This is my 44th year in business with many more years ahead.”

Combating Food Insecurity: The Third Annual Hops for Hunger Event

BY CHRISTY MEANS-STEPHENS

D

ecember 2021 - The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma constantly strives to combat hunger by providing food to those in need and creating fundraising events to heighten awareness of this widespread issue.

Hops for Hunger is one of these events, and in the past two years, has rapidly become a popular and successful fundraiser to address the heartbreaking reality of hunger.

“Hops for Hunger has helped raise awareness in our community by engaging young professionals eager to make a difference in the work of food security,” states Haley Kardokus, Events Manager of the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. “For every dollar raised at this event, we can provide the equivalent of four meals

to our neighbors who struggle with hunger.”

Dec. 16 of 2021 marks the third year that the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma has held this event, and this year it will be held at McNellie’s downtown at 409 E. 1st Street in Tulsa and hosted by the Friends of the Food Bank Young Professionals Group.

“In the past, we hosted Hops for Hunger at the Food Bank, giving people an opportunity to see our warehouse and gain a firsthand understanding of our work,” says Kardokus. “Due to COVID, this year we have moved the event to an outside venue at McNellie’s to make sure we hold this event in a safe and accommodating way for anyone who would like to attend.”

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA DECEMBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Tickets to the event will provide entry, two free beers, a donation to the Community Food bank, and the opportunity to meet and greet some of Tulsa’s best and brightest young professionals. Also provided is live entertainment from Ben Neikirk, a local singer-songwriter.

The number of people who struggle with hunger in our state is sadly higher than most people might expect.

“Feeding America projects that 1 in 6 Oklahomans, and an astounding 1 in 4 Oklahoma children experience food insecurity. That’s 230,000 people in eastern Oklahoma and 584,000 people statewide,” Kardokus reports.

Tickets may be purchased in advance for $25, but the entry price will increase at the door to $30. The event begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

“Founded in 1981, the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is the largest private hunger-relief organization in eastern Oklahoma.

With branches in Tulsa and McAlester, we provide greater access to food for people through a network of hundreds of programs and Partner Agencies in 24 counties of eastern Oklahoma.

Programs include food pantries, meal sites, shelters, child and senior food programs, and veteran initiatives. In addition, the Food Bank helps raise public awareness about poverty, hunger, and the role of food banking in fighting hunger,” Kardokus summarizes. “Join us as we work together in fighting hunger and feeding hope.”

Gathering Place is a Winter Wonderland

BY CHRISTY MEANS-STEPHENS

D

ecember, 2021 - With winter comes the holiday season – and in very few places is this more apparent than in Tulsa’s own Gathering place. The globally recognized, award winning park has been a sensation since the first day

it opened, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors in the spring and summer months. The magical beauty of Gathering Place has continued throughout the fall; and from Dec. 17, 2021, through Dec. 26, the park is transformed into a veritable fairyland, filled with lights, music, performances, a holiday market and more.

Presented by American Airlines, Tulsa’s Gathering Place Winter Wonderland delights everyone who visits.

“Guests can stroll through thousands of lights on the QuikTrip Great Lawn, listen to live music, join an elf dance party, shop for holiday gifts at our winter market (featuring local vendors), drink hot cocoa and eat sweet treats!” says Heather Alexander, Vice President of

Programming. “Guests can also head to ONEOK Boathouse to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus and engage in hands-on activities at the Winter Wonderland workshop for kids of all ages. Williams Lodge will be open for guests to relax in front of our warm fireplaces and to grab seasonal delights from Redbud Café.”

Gathering Place staffers and workers are committed to producing an outstanding light display, and attention to detail is a priority.

“We begin preparing for Winter Wonderland every year in November,” states Alexander. “Our lighting company begins installing lights on the trees throughout the event footprint and outside Williams Lodge before Thanksgiving. Organizing and executing events at Gathering Place is a team effort. All departments work closely together on the operations, production, marketing, safety procedures, culinary, and beyond to ensure guests have an exceptional experience.”

The Winter Wonderland has already become a tradition for many families in the Tulsa community, according to Alexander. “The pure joy, peace and magic that Winter Wonderland brings to families is beyond imagination.

“One of my favorite features of Winter Wonderland is the park being illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights, pop-up local holiday performances, festive market vendors, and the pathways filled with holiday cheer.”

Winter Wonderland activities begins evenings 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., nightly from Dec. 17 thru Dec. 26.

This is a special opportunity to visit Tulsa’s Gathering Place in its entire winter splendor!

Thank You for Keeping Us Local

Claremore is a vibrant town rich in Native American culture. Located on historic Route 66, you will experience a treasure-trove filled with eclectic shops and unique boutiques, antiques, craft emporiums, museums, restaurants, and galleries. Its residents have an independent and creative spirit that encourages collaboration and entrepreneurship. Outdoor adventure enthusiasts will enjoy Claremore Lake, parks, and many miles of multi-use trails.

Visit Claremore Claremore is a great value getaway close to home.

B

y definition, the tourism industry markets places of interest to the public, and all the places of interest and things to do in Claremore makes Tanya Andrews’s role as executive director of Visit Claremore that much easier.

“Visit Claremore serves as the marketing and promotion arm for the city and the surrounding area,” Andrews said. “We share our story with the world-our story of a great community started by local entrepreneurs and small-business owners; home of Oklahoma

legends, our world class museums, great events, wonderful eateries as well as our history all add to our story.”

A “behind the scene organization,” Visit Claremore’s outreach is far and wide, as it

strives to reach potential visitors as well residents in the region.

“I have been in the hospitality industry for a long time; from hotels and restaurants to my long time career as the Director of Visit Claremore,” said Andrews, a second generation Claremore Zebra and RSU alumni. “I started in 2005 when it was the Claremore Convention & Visitors Bureau and has evolved into Visit Claremore.

Now a department of the City of Claremore, we merged with the Claremore Expo Center in 2015.

Missions were identical so the two merging made sense and allowed for more resources for both.”

As an industry “storyteller,” Visit Claremore tells the history of the community to visitors through social media, advertising, news articles and in-person with the public.

“Tourism is the purest form of economic development. It doesn’t require roads, bridges, stop lights, utilities, etc. except when we see growth in hotels, and restaurants or other related businesses,” Andrews said. “With a healthy flow of visitors the increase in usage and need of our hospitality businesses is a healthy growth to the city, via sales taxes, increased utilities and providing more jobs without taxing roads and emergency services.”

Inasmuch as tourism benefits

the city, Andrews also commended the town’s many entrepreneurs, and the importance of community support.

“To buy locally you are supporting one of our own residents, who have invested thousands, maybe even millions in our community,” she said.

“They have already given back by bringing, or opening, their business here; they believe that our community is worth their investment. Additionally, they are providing local jobs.

Some business owners and/or property owners might not be from Claremore, however, their employees are. Those employees live here and spend their money on groceries, utilities, and contribute to our tax base.”

“To buy from a local business we are investing our money to keep them here-keep them open and employees working-we are supporting their dream and their investments they brought to the table first,” she said.

venue,” explained Susan Gebhart, Three Twenty on Main partner.

“After we renovated this space, it was able to handle everything from social events to business events. We host business meetings, private parties, dinners, weddings, receptions, memorial service receptions, etc.

“I tell people that if it doesn’t involve live animals, fire or water, we’re probably open to the idea of doing it,” she laughed.

Gebhart, a veteran meeting planner and event planner, had been working remotely in Claremore for a company in Texas when she had the idea for Three Twenty on Main.

“I managed meetings all over the U.S. and internationally, and the company I worked for specialized in educational meetings for physicians and nurses,” she said. “My partners and I looked around and saw this blossoming of event venues all over the country, so we said to ourselves ‘We could do that.’”

By the fall of 2016, Gebhart, Tommy Duncan and Brian Courtney found the space in downtown Claremore that would eventually become Three Twenty on Main.

Between Thanksgiving 2016 and March 2017, the building underwent a “radical transformation” before it opened to the public.

“We purposely left a lot of the base elements of the building in place – the history of the building was something we appreciated,” she said.

Able to accommodate up to 120 people with a total square footage of 4,000 feet, including a bridal dressing room upstairs and kitchen space, Three Twenty on Main can meet the needs for gatherings of all sizes.

Gebhart describes the décor as “elegantly neutral,” allowing for minimum redecoration to look festive for any occasion – casual, semi-formal, formal and very formal.

“We have a good neutral palette here, allowing people to do whatever they want to do for whatever event they plan to hold here,” she said.

Early reservations are always preferable with at least a “90 day notice” typifying how much advance time is needed for most bookings.

“People in Claremore have been so good, so welcoming to us,” she said. “When we started this, we knew we were bringing something

unlike anything else in the area – it’s a little bit different, both in terms of size and environment.

People have been very, very good to us. We have several loyal customers who use us for their various events, for which we’re extremely grateful.”

Of all the destinations in Claremore, few have more history than that which honors the life of Oklahoma’s most famous son: the Will Rogers Memorial.

More than 19,000-square feet in size, the museum houses artifacts, memorabilia, pictures,

manuscripts, and more pertaining to Rogers’ life, with a theater to show Rogers movies and documentaries.

“What we do is preserve and share the life and legacy of Will Rogers for future generations,” explained Will Rogers Memorial Executive Director Tad Jones.

As a native Rogers Countian, Jones is well-acquainted with the story of Will.

“I grew up in Claremore, went to school in Oologah – towns which were both important parts of Will’s early life – I’ve been around the memorial and the Birthplace Ranch (in Oologah) most of my life,” he said. “I was in the Oklahoma legislature for 12 years and became more familiar with the memorial, as it’s a state entity.

When (former museum director) Steve (Gragert) retired in 2014, I was contacted to see if I might be interested in taking over for him, to which I said ‘Absolutely.’

I had a marketing background, and thought I could use that and my experience to really expand the memorial’s outreach, both in the community and beyond. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity.”

Even though Rogers rose to fame

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA DECEMBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

nearly 100 years ago, so many of his insights and outlooks remain as relevant today as they did during his lifetime.

“When people come to the museum, they have a good time, they have fun, and they come to understand Will’s joy for life, how he lived life to the fullest and treated everyone with respect,” he said. “He gave all for his fellow man and his family. He was just a great citizen role model for our community, our state and our nation.”

While the museum serves as a destination for travelers from around the world, many of them stopping to see the sights while traveling Route 66, Jones said he’s appreciative of the support that the museum receives from the community.

“We try to do a lot of activities for the community – to draw them in and experience Will, to bring people together in the spirit of Will,” he said. “We have Will’s Country Christmas, Will Rogers Days, Easter egg hunts, Family Days, lectures, etc. We are part of this community, sharing thoughts, ideas and friendships with Claremore residents and people within the local and nearby communities.”

The museum gift shop contains numerous books, clothing items, cards, kid’s toys, and other mementos about Will Rogers, Route 66, the community and the state – perfect for souvenirs, keepsakes or Christmas gifts.

Fashionable, Trendy and Community Champion: District on Main

T

he District on Main in Claremore features a stylish selection of fashionable clothing and accessory brands, handbags and home goods – with a very interesting beginning. This fabulous boutique features over 170 of the most coveted brands including Gorjana, Kendra Scott, Brighton, Dear John, Sanctuary, Tribal, Dylan, Z Supply, Liverpool and Brumate.

“First and foremost, The District (on Main) is a women’s clothing, jewelry and gift store” said Cari Bohannan, owner, The District on Main. “We are your one stop shop in Claremore for a woman’s clothing needs for every day or special occasions.”

Bohannan’s path to owning a boutique began nearly decade ago, also in downtown Claremore.

The business has evolved through the years. “We originally started across the street with a partner, with paint, and painted furniture in a booth at Sailors (Antiques),” she said. “Then, we

changed brands of paint and it required our own storefront, which led us to opening our own shop – and here we are.”

Now a fashion-forward boutique, The District on Main offers affordable chic, trendy and popular clothing. Styles are appropriate selections for women of all ages. As well as a distinctive selection of jewelry and accessories, handbags, bath and body items, and gifts for just about everyone on your giving list.

“We have an eclectic atmosphere here – in one way, it’s like walking back into history because this is a historic building, and many elements of its past are still here, especially the walls, but it’s also very fun and relaxed, but with a large assortment of brand-name items people won’t find anywhere else but here. I like to describe us as having ‘big city fashion with small town charm.’”

“We have several out-of-town customers, many of whom order online, but the community has been a big supporter of us, for which we’re very grateful,” she said. “As the last couple of years

have made some people reluctant to shop in person, we’re fortunate that they’ve stepped up and shopped with us online or ordered and taken advantage of our curbside pickup.”

Bohannan said supporting local businesses such as her own isn’t just good for the customer, it’s good for the community, as so many local business owners are community members and partners themselves, who then return the support in other businesses, civic groups, clubs and organizations.

“People who support us, who support local businesses are indirectly supporting their community,” she said. “It means so much to us as small-business owners.”

Several specials will be offered throughout the Christmas and holiday season.

The District on Main is located at 406 W. Will Rogers Boulevard.

renda Reno and MaryAnn White are more than just mother and daughter.

Since Feb. 1, 2013, the pair have also been business partners, overseeing the downtown antique store, Sailor Antiques & Collectibles.

“Our business involves the sale of antiques, collectibles and other vintage items,” Reno said.

WWW.VALUENEWS.COM DECEMBER 2021 BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA VALUE NEWS

Above: Sailor Antiques property has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“Originally, I worked in a corporate job in Pryor, but I’d always had an antiques booth during my career because it’s always been a way for me to relax.”

Eventually, Reno opened her own shop in Claremore – a place for antique lovers like herself.

“How we operate is, we have the space and rent it out to a proprietor, who is responsible for furnishing it, keeping it clean and marketing the items, which are generally vintage in nature,”

she said. “We have 40 proprietors spread out over 7,000 square feet.”

Proprietor booth spaces are month-to-month, so unique items offered change from one month to the next, but always with something for collectors or those who just want to be reminded of simpler times.

“We get a lot of business from travelers, but also from members of the community and others from around the area,” she said.

“Antique shopping is a unique experience. So many people have told us that it’s relaxing, it’s enjoyable, and it evokes memories from their childhood. People will come in just to look around and come across things that remind them of when they were growing up or of their parents. Something we hear quite often is ‘Oh, my grandmother used to have one of those.’”

Sailor Antiques itself is something of an antique, as the building itself was built in 1902 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We’re blessed that we’re in this beautiful historic building and we’re also in a corridor of some main thoroughfares – Route 66, the Will Rogers Turnpike, Highway 20, etc.,” she said.

Among some of the more collectible items to be found at Sailor are Fenton glassware and Frankoma Pottery of Sapulpa, but highly collectible or not, Reno said all items carry fond memories for someone and her store – and Claremore – are perfect destinations.

“I believe that Claremore is a destination, a great community – just the three blocks that are historic downtown Claremore is a great area,” she said. “We’re all

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA DECEMBER 2021 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

neighbors – we share a lot of joy and passion for promoting our businesses and community as a family destination for antiques, boutiques, uniques, and dining.

This is a great community.”
