Spring Cleaning!

Great Ways to Keep Your Home Safe and Smelling Great

W

inter has finally faded away and spring colors are in bloom. While it might look restorative outside your home, your chimney and dryer vents may still be dealing with a gloomy, cold weather hangover. A good spring cleaning is an opportunity to refresh your home and enable you to enjoy all the benefits of Oklahoma’s seasonal change.

Here are a few reasons why spring cleaning is important: • Breathing – Seems like a simple issue considering it’s a necessity of life. But when your home is lingering of creosote and ash the air becomes stagnant, and your respiratory health suffers. A solid spring chimney cleaning improves the air quality of your home and makes you feel better.

With a clean smelling chimney, your mood will improve and you’ll be open to welcoming visitors.

• Safety - 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.

• As for your dryer vent, lint doesn’t Left: For over 43 years, Black Hat Cleaning Services owner David Harris, Sr. has been serving N.E. Oklahoma.

overall health in the home. Chimney sweep services, as well as dryer duct cleaning, are essential for fire prevention, and air duct cleaning is vital for the air quality inside the home, ensuring a healthy breathing environment. These maintenance services also help keep your home smelling nice too.

Fire burning chimneys are recommended to be cleaned depending on wood-burning capacity, 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 me 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 43rd year in business with many more years ahead.”

Will Rogers Stampede PRCA Rodeo Returns to Northeastern Oklahoma

BY TOM FINK

A

fter pleasing crowds for more than three-quarters of a century, drawing contestants from across the state, region and country, and being named by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Woman’s Rodeo Association (WRPA) as Small Rodeo of the Year, what’s next for the Will Rogers Stampede PRCA Rodeo?

|

“If anything, the rodeo has grown – it’s grown in popularity among contestants, which we’ve been seeing an increase in those coming to compete every year – last year, we had 745 (contestants) which was a record number for us,” said Tanya Andrews, executive director, Visit Claremore. “It has consistently grown, and with the PRCA, the Stampede Rodeo was consistently in the ‘small rodeo’ category, until this year, when we’ll be moving up into the ‘medium’ category for the first time in this rodeo’s history.”

While in the “small rodeo” category, the Will Rogers

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA MAY 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Stampede PRCA Rodeo was named six times (out of being nominated seven times) as Small Rodeo of the Year, but with the rodeo’s new classification, this means “bigger and better things” for both contestants and attendees, Andrews said.

“No. 1, I think this shows (rodeo) contestants that we are a serious contender in the PRCA circuit, as going from the small to medium classification, we’ve been able to add prize money,” she said. “We’re staying consistent in dates, times, etc. but when a contestant is having to choose which rodeos to compete in, the medium-sized rodeos simply offer more than the small rodeos do, and as such, we’re casting a wider net to attract a much broader assortment of potential new contestants.”

The new classification for the rodeo similarly means increased interest

from potential vendors, sponsors and attendees.

“Even with the new categorization, the rodeo will still have great entertainment, all the great performances – the bull-riding, saddle broncs, barrel racing, etc.,” she said. “We won’t be having a concert after the rodeo this year, but instead, we’re partnering with Claremore Main Street to have some activities at Boots on the Boulevard (monthly food truck event) May 26, at which, we’ll have live entertainment and a street dance in downtown Claremore.”

In addition to the rodeo itself, the arena also has seen improvements in recent years.

“The property owners, the Rodeo Arena Cooperative, have put significant time and money into significant infrastructure improvements,” she said. “Among these improvements, we’ve recently connected the bathrooms to the city sewer line, which was long-overdue as, for 75 years, the sewer lines (at the rodeo grounds) had been on septic. Before connecting to city utilities, the restrooms weren’t able to handle the capacity because of the crowds, which meant we would

have to bring in porta-potties during events.”

Further improvements planned for the rodeo arena are new bathrooms, a new concession stand, additional parking, and a new shelter to serve as the hospitality area, with “great interest” in private parties who are wanting to assist the cooperative toward helping upgrade the property to its full potential.

“With the growth of the rodeo over the past decade, it’s really turned into organizers and they’ll be helped. more of a destination event – people There’s a great camaraderie of people are coming here from all over from the community, people who the state, and many from have come together over the last outside the state,” she said. couple of years to help make this When asked what event possible.” distinguishes the Will Rogers Will Rogers Stampede PRCA Stampede PRCA Rodeo from Rodeo will be held May 26 through similar events across the May 29 at the Will Rogers Stampede state, Andrews said it was the Arena, 13601 East 480 Road in people.

The Bixby Green Corn Festival Returns!

BY CHRISTY STEPHENS

E

ven the mildest of winter seasons can leave us longing for spring and summer; to be able to put away the heavy coats and jackets, the chilly weather sweaters and boots, and to be outside in the sunshine and the greenery during the warm months. This is the time of year that people like most to spend time with family and friends in the sun drenched outdoors and is especially delightful to enjoy at a festival. One such event to look forward to is the Bixby Green Corn Festival, held annual every fourth Thursday, Friday and Saturday in June.

“This is the 48th year for the Optimist Club of Bixby [a local group dedicated to the improvement of youth of the community] to be sponsoring the event,” says Kevin Dean, Chairman. “The event itself has been around since about 1948, when Clyde Miller, a local farmer, started it after a very fruitful harvest.”

Held in downtown Bixby, the festival offers food, arts and crafts, carnival rides and games, contests and pageants for three different youth age groups, vying for the title of Little Miss and Mister Bixby.

Musical entertainment is varied; Thursday night is Gospel Night, and local church singers will perform. On Friday night, Travis Bond and the Rebel Souls and Bottoms Up will take the stage; and Saturday will feature the Riverside Rebellion Band, with Danny Davis and the Dirt Road Detours closing out the night.

of downtown Bixby, south and east of 151st Street and Memorial; the Charley Young Park is the location of the Gazebo Stage. For more information, visit the Bixby Optimist’s Club website at www. bixbyoptimist.com.

Everyone’s Invited to this FRIEN Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club’s “Old-Fashioned Picnic” back to the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch

I

n America, there are few things more traditional than the family picnic.

This May, the members of the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club are bringing back one of their own community friendship traditions with the annual “Old Fashioned Picnic” in northeast Oklahoma – and the public is invited.

“The Old Fashioned Picnic is an event that’s been happening ever since the Pocahontas Club was founded in 1899, when picnics were the social gatherings of the day,” said Ollie Starr, longtime Pocahontas Left: Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club Officers (L-R) are Secretary Linda Coleman, Vice President Monta Ewing, President Celeste Tillery Right: A day in the countryside at Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch is good for the soul.

It’s a FRIENDSHIP event where all ages can come and have fun in the country with games, entertainment, great food, demonstrations and shop vendors of all kinds.”

Starr said the first picnic – which originally included a dance – was first held in Talala, but over time, the location was changed to the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch in nearby Oologah.

“The Birthplace Ranch is a perfect fit for this picnic, since Will Rogers himself was both a Cherokee and an early member of the club,” she said. “Our club has been holding this event from the very beginning, but this year, IWPC is partnering with the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and the Cherokee

Objects look more attractive if taken on an angle rather than standing square in front of them. Take real estate, for instance. Most photographers know that if a photo is taken directly in front of a house or building, it will look flat. The building will look much more attractive, however, if the photographer simply walks around the corner of the building to catch two sides.

The building has dimension while appearing larger and more attractive.

Take photos of people using the same principles as with buildings.

Capturing an angle provides Photo of flat face. a more flattering look. When a subject looks directly into a camera, Photo of angled face.

That means they take in elements one at a time while their eyes move around the image. Photographers can take photos that purposely plan where the viewers’ eyes move.

One way to do that is to use a technique called leading lines.

Use an element that provides a line – a railroad track, a path, a road or a fence line – to guide the viewers’ eyes to the focal point. Don’t leave them with leading lines only that line is like the bridge that leads to nowhere.

Instead place Leading lines the subject, to subject.

Sports photos are often stopaction photos.

Remember opening a newspaper to the sports section and seeing a basketball Capture action as it player jumping happens . to shoot a hoop and the player was captured in midair? How about a baseball player taking a swing and the photographer caught an image of the ball leaving the bat?

Care must be taken so that these photos are not ruined by the blur of the action. If a camera is not fast enough to stop this action, better leave this one alone.

7. Lastly, most photos are taken from standing height. Not good. If an Ladders provide a interesting top/down view. angle is desired, simply changed the physical stance. Try Use squatting for lying on low action . the ground and shooting upward.

Rooster Days Festival, June 9 - 12

Mark Your Calendars for a FUN TIME in Broken Arrow!

BY CHRISTY STEPHENS

O

klahoma hosts many festivals that are praise-worthy; and one of the biggest festivals is Rooster Days in Broken Arrow. The annual Rooster Days Festival dates have recently changed – the previously announced dates took place in May, but the new dates are now June 9 through June 12. Other changes, all progressive, are also occurring and add to the overall enjoyment of the festivities.

“We have transitioned to a Cashless system this year,” explains Amber Hinkle, Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce Events Director. “This means our guests will not have to stop and purchase food tickets, as they have had to do in years past. This year, they can use their personal debit and credit cards at all our food vendor locations, without having to first stop and purchase food tickets. If we have guests who prefer to use cash, we will have a “Cash to Card Coop,” where they can exchange their cash for a gift card

that can be used on-site with our food vendors. We hope this allows attendees to get to the fun faster than ever before!”

Rooster Days is a long standing and important tradition to the city of Broken Arrow and indeed, many people within the state go out of their way to attend.

The festival offers indoor and outdoor vendors, crowd favorite food stands, and entertainment in various forms.

Musical acts are highly anticipated; and the change in dates for the festival has not affected the lineup.

“We were fortunate that all of our previously announced musical guests were available for these new dates, so our lineup remains the same,” asserts Hinkle.

Musicians performing at Rooster Days includes Travis Kidd, The Crowe Band, the Red Dirt Rangers, Braden Jamison and the Neon Strangers, and Weston Horn and the Hush.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide the Broken Arrow and surrounding

VALUE NEWS BIXBY, JENKS & SAPULPA MAY 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

communities with new ride options, new promotions and an updated midway experience,” enthuses Jennifer Conway, president and CEO of the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce. “We are looking forward to a great relationship with Wagner’s Carnival and all the new amenities and promotions they will provide to the Rooster Days festival.”

Well-known as the longest running festival in Oklahoma, Rooster Days is a family fun even for all ages. Attendees always look forward to making delightful new memories every year; the festival always has activities, food and music for all ages, and the Rooster Days Parade always a great favorite enjoyed by all.

Dates and times for the established happenings of Rooster Days are as follows: • Rooster Days Fun Run: June 11, 2022, 8:05a.m., Central Park • Rooster Days 5K Run: June 11, 2022, 8:00a.m., Central Park • Rooster Days Parade: June 10, 2022, 4:00p.m., Main Street (starts at College Street and ends at Mason Drive) • Rooster Days Cornhole Tournament: June 11, 2022, Central Park (Registration at noon, games start at 1:00p.m.)
