With the June 26th primary election quickly approaching, one of the main election slots Rogers County citizens will be asked to fill is for Rogers County Clerk. Long-time Rogers County resident Robin Anderson is asking for consideration for this position, pointing to her eight years of service in county government as proof she has the needed reputation, skills and commitment to do the job well. Robin is a true conservative Republican with Republican family roots going back to 1959. Her family is active in the Verdigris Assembly of God. “As an experienced county leader, I have worked with Senator Inhofe, Senator Coburn, and Congressman John Sullivan’s offices to acquire $13,000,000 in federal funding for Rogers County,” says Robin. She is accredited and certified
with 171 hours with OSU, and has completed the highest level of the county training program. “Through the National Association of Counties, I have established a pharmacy discount
card that is available for all Rogers County residents.” She also understands the need to work together with neighboring communities and has (continued on page 22)

Highway 66 has long been known as the “Mother Road,” an arterial highway link that still pumps lifeblood through traditional American towns. Claremore, Oklahoma was built right on the heart of this highway, and so it seems especially appropriate that Claremore firefighters should inaugurate a new and exciting event this year for vehicles that have surely traveled many miles on that very highway – the Hotrods and Heroes Car Show and Poker Run. Scheduled for Saturday, June 23, this event will be packed with fun sights, sounds and activities for the whole family, including a vintage car and
motorcycle show, live music by the Brent Giddens Band, and great tasting concessions from BigFoot BBQ. Trophies will be awarded in 20 car and bike categories, and every registrant will receive a free T-shirt. The first 150 registrations will also receive free dash plaques. The Poker Run will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. , is open to all vehicles, and will consist of five stop points – Old 33 Icehouse, Rt. 66 Sports Bar, Grey Beards, The Dam Saloon, and the Claremore Expo Center, where participants pick up their cards and where a $5 extra card will be available at the last spot. Donations will also be accepted
at all stops. Prizes will be awarded to the first and second place hands, with a “last chance drawing” for $50. To preregister for the event at a lower fee, visit www.claremorefirefighters.com. You may download the forms at the site and register on the day of the event, email them to forms@claremorefirefighters.com, or mail them to P.O. Box 1813, Claremore, OK 74018. Proceeds from Hotrods and Heroes go to the Claremore Firefighters Activity Fund. Claremore’s firefighter union has long donated to local causes, events and organizations, (continued on page 22)
