By Lisa Dennis The spring destination you won’t want to miss is Claremore, Oklahoma, April 27 through May 5.

By Carol Beck-Round If you think you’re better than your average backyard barbecuer, here’s your chance to not only prove it, but “to get your grill on” at the 11th annual Claremore Reveille Rotary

Club’s Boots & BBQ Festival. Scheduled for May 11 and 12 at Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs, east of Claremore, the event’s past winners have gone (continued on page 28)

April, 2012 will be a busy and exciting month for The Nut House. Easter is on April 8, and The Nut House is already bursting with a rainbow of brightly colored items, perfect for holiday decorating. The bustling, busy spring season will continue for Hazel Ward and staff, as they prepare for Destination Claremore’s Antique and Craft Show on Saturday and Sunday, April 2829. The Nut House hosted The Antique and Craft Show for Destination Claremore last year, but this year, they are the actual sponsors of the event. “We are in the building stages of some-

thing that has great promise,” says Hazel. “We had an excellent turnout last year, but this year we would like to add more local flavor to this nostalgic event.” Hazel hopes to accomplish this by garnering more interest from area antique and craft dealers. “In the past, we’ve had antique dealers from out of state, but we would like to see more dealers from our Green Country area,” Hazel relates. “People want to feel they have a piece of Oklahoma, Rogers County, or Claremore when they buy from this event.” Local flavor also includes a plethora of handcrafted items from local vendors, including

tole paintings, crocheted and embroidered items, jewelry, crafts, decorative items, and all kinds of odds and ends. “This event is actually designed to showcase handmade gift items from local artisans,” Hazel points out. “Last year, we had a booth with gourds made into bird houses.” Plenty of booth space is still available for those who are interested, and applications will be taken until April 20. Application forms are available on the website at www.route66nuthouse.com. Hazel plans for booths to be outside, weather permitting, but plenty of inside space has been (continued on page 28)

Being 50+ Has Its Rewards AARP-branded insurance is now available through Claremore’s RCI Insurance Group.

By Carol Beck-Round If you’re 50 or older, there are some advantages, especially when it comes to insurance. RCI Insurance Group, a local independent agency in Claremore, recently announced their selection by The Hartford Group to offer their awardwinning AARP-branded homeowners insurance program. According to research from The Hartford, 60 percent of consumers prefer to buy their auto and home insurance as a bundled policy. Based on this research and strong customer demand, The Hartford is now offering the AARP-branded home insurance program through select, authorized independent agents, allowing consumers to purchase both AARP-branded home and auto insurance from a local independent agency. “For more than 25 years, the industry-leading AARPbranded homeowners insurance program from The Hartford has been extremely popular,” says Jim Flynn, vice president, The Hartford. “Much of the success of this program is due to innovative product features and a commitment to truly understand and support our customers. We are

thrilled to now be able to offer both home and auto insurance as a bundled package with our independent agent partners.” RCI Insurance Group was chosen after satisfying a number of eligibility requirements, which included demonstrating a commitment to community service; meeting a high-level of business and ethical standards; and completing a training program designed to address the needs of the 50+ population. These products were previously only available from The Hartford by phone, the Internet and by mail. The AARP-branded home insurance program is designed in consultation with The Hartford Advance 50 Team, which helps to tailor products and services specifically to the interests and needs of baby boomers and older adults. According to Mick Cottom, president of RCI, you do not have to be an AARP member currently to enroll in their insurance program. “We are required to offer other solutions as well,” he says. “We think this is a good program but we are not limited, and if we think we have a better option for a customer, we will offer it.”

If the AARP plan is the best product for one of RCI’s customers, and that customer is not already an AARP member, he or she can sign up during the insurance enrollment process. However, says Cottom, if it isn’t the best plan for a customer, AARP enrollment is not required. “We want to do what is best for our customers,” he adds. One of The Hartford’s selling points, according to Amber Helmuth, personal lines risk manager at RCI, is its lifetime renewability. “This is especially important for the over 50 crowd,” she says. “No matter how many claims you make, they will not cancel your policy. They can change the rates but you will never be faced with a cancellation.” According to Cottom, many Oklahoma homeowners have been faced with cancelled policies because of the wild Oklahoma weather, from high winds, hail damage, ice and snow, extremely cold temperatures that led to frozen pipes, and of course, tornados. RCI can also offer coverage for Oklahoma’s latest threat – earthquakes, for a nominal fee. RCI Insurance, which has

Mick Cottom, president of RCI Insurance Group. been in business since 1972 and under new ownership since 1994, is dedicated to offering its customers a wide range of insurance products, including home, health, auto, commercial, life, farms, churches, rentals and workers’ compensation. RCI Insurance Group also has a dedicated team of protection specialists with over 150 years of combined insurance experience. “We provide a vast array of protection for clients throughout Oklahoma and surrounding states,” says Cottom. RCI also offers a referral program through their website and Facebook page. “For every

client referred to us,” he says, “we award a $15 gas card and donate $5 to the William Barnes Child Advocacy Center in Claremore.” For each quarter, referrals will also earn customers the possibility of winning a Kindle Fire or a 32-inch flat screen television.

Selecting a Surgeon? You have the final decision on who performs your surgery.

By Duane Blankenship If your internist or family doctor ever tells you it’s time to see a surgeon, please remember that you are the one who ultimately selects your surgeon. Although he or she may make a referral or help you make a decision, the final decision is yours. Dr. Kyle Hrdlicka specializes in general, vascular and endovascular surgery. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of Oklahoma and attended medical school at Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Hrdlicka completed his internship at Ohio University Doctors Hospital in Columbus, where he also did his residency in general surgery as well as his fellowship. He also did a sub-fellowship in endovascular surgery at the Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix. Dr. Hrdlicka was board certified as a general surgeon in 2000 by the State Board of Ohio and in 2001 by the Oklahoma State Medical Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiner. Professional organizations of which Dr. Hrdlicka is a member include the American

Osteopathic Association, Ohio Osteopathic Association, American College of Osteopathic Surgeons (Candidate), and the American Medical Association. Claremore Surgeons, Inc. is a general and vascular surgical

specialty office in Claremore, just 25 minutes northeast of Tulsa. They have been in practice since 1970, when Dr. Kyle Hrdlicka’s father, Dr. Larry Hrdlicka, and Dr. Larry Ivan Young began the practice. Dr. Kyle Hrdlicka

joined the practice in 2000. Kyle was raised in Claremore and graduated from Claremore High School in 1983. He and his wife live there with their four children, and he enjoys hunting, fishing, camping and golf. Claremore Surgeons recently received the 2011 Small Business of the Year Award presented by the Claremore Chamber of Commerce. During the business’s extensive remodeling project last year, only local contractors were used. Some of the full-service general surgical procedures performed by Dr. Hrdlicka include general surgery, vascular surgery, advanced laparoscopy, surgical oncology, colonoscopy, vasectomy, minimally invasive surgical procedures, breast cancer surgery, mammosite, laser venous closure, and laser/light therapy. He also performs a complete line of endoscopic procedures including colonoscopy and EGD. Unless your insurance company requires it, no referral is needed when you make your appointment to visit the offices of Claremore Surgeons. “If you have doubts or questions, just give us a call,” said Dr. Hrdlicka. “We are contracted with most

insurance companies.” Claremore Surgeons has privileges at Hillcrest Claremore Regional, St. John Owasso, and Memorial Surgical Center in Tulsa located at 81st and Memorial. “If you have no insurance, but have surgical needs that we provide, my staff and I can often get you an attractive cash rate by negotiating on your behalf, and the rate could equate to a very big savings,” says Dr. Hrdlicka. He adds that most elective surgical needs are negotiable up front, and their office is happy to do the negotiations for you. Bottom line – it’s all about you at Claremore Surgeons. Check them out if ever general surgery is recommended to correct a health issue or problem you are experiencing. And remember, it’s your decision to pick the surgeon you want to perform the procedure.

Can You Walk a Mile in Her Shoes? Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, Safenet Services’ annual fundraiser, brings awareness to and raises funds for domestic violence.

By Carol Beck-Round An old adage goes: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes.” To bring more awareness to and raise funds for domestic violence and sexual assault in Rogers and Mayes Counties, Safenet Services is sponsoring their second annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” on Saturday, April 21. Two separate events are planned this year, one in Claremore and the other in Pryor. The Claremore walk will begin at 9 a.m., with registration starting at 8 a.m. at the Ne-Mar Shopping Center. Registration at Pryor will begin at 1 p.m. followed by the walk at 2 at the Mayes County Courthouse. Both walks will begin and end at the starting locations, according to Susan Wolfenbarger, assistant director of Safenet Services. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes started out in 2001 as a small group of men daring to teeter around a park to bring attention to and raise funds for local rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation programs. It has grown into a worldwide movement with tens of thousands of men raising

millions of dollars for the cause. Some men who participate literally walk one mile in women’s red high-heeled shoes, which is not an easy feat. However, wearing high heels is not required. The event is designed to be fun and to get communities talking about something that’s really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexual violence. “We had a great turnout last year with over 100 walkers, including men, women and children, showing up for the Claremore walk,” says

Some male participants sported red high heels as they walked in last year’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes sponsored by Safenet Services.

• Great for Storage, Work Shop, or Office • Many Styles To Choose From • Quality Material

Last year’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes drew 100 participants. around $8,000 with just 100 participants. “This year, we’d like to see 200 or 300 people coming out to support this cause,” says Wolfenbarger. Youngsters and students of any age are also invited to participate. The registration fee is the same but these age groups are only asked to raise $25. “They don’t have to stop at that amount though,” Wolfenbarger adds. Participants who raise $50 or more will receive a goody bag of products, coupons and gifts donated by local businesses, according to Wolfenbarger. People are encouraged to register in advance by going online to www.safenetservices.org, where they can find the registration form, or by calling (918)341-1424. Walkers are also encouraged to wear red shoes or red on their shoes for the event. “We will be selling red ribbons that day for $2 each,” she adds. “We did have some men who wore red heels last year. It was a lot of fun.” Wearing heels, however, is not required. Participants are also encouraged to form a team and give your group a name. “Last

year we had Oologah cheerleaders who formed a team, as well as a team from a store called Chrome Cowgirls in Oologah who walked in cowboy boots.” For men who wish to wear “comfortable” shoes for walking the mile, contact Safenet Services. “We can pre-order red pumps in men’s sizes for $39.99 plus shipping and handling,” says Wolfenbarger. Anyone who wants to get a team together can have fun during the one-mile walk. “You can invite co-workers, church members and friends to form a team,” she adds. “Each individual walks at his or her own pace.” All proceeds will directly benefit Safenet Services’ clients. Safenet Services is a United Way agency and is certified by the Office of the Attorney General. For more information, contact

The New Orleansstyle evening will be full of fun as the foundation celebrates with a Mardi Gras theme in the RSU Centennial Center at Claremore. Since its inception eight

years ago, the foundation fundraiser has raised more than $300,000 for student scholarships, according to Tonni Harrald, RSU director of annual giving and events. “The sole purpose of this event is to raise money for RSU students at all three of our campuses,” says Harrald. RSU’s main campus is in Claremore with satellite campuses in Pryor and Bartlesville.

Admission to the event is $30 per person, while a table for eight can be reserved for $300. The event is open to the public. Over 400 attended last year’s event, which netted the foundation $72,000. Participants will also have an opportunity to win $5,000. “We are selling chances at $50 each,” she says. “However, only 300 will be sold.” Tickets are

Key Construction Oklahoma LLC and Pelco Structural have signed on as presenting sponsors. Bidding on silent auction items will begin at 5:30 p.m. “We anticipate having 125 to 150 silent auction items this year,” Harrold adds. “Last year, we had approximately 22 live auction items, including jewelry, gift baskets from area businesses, and gift certificates for services and products. We have something for everyone, from $5 to $5,000.” Rick Reimer will be auctioning off the live auction items during the evening. “We are so excited about the items already donated,” says Harrald.

Local 12-year-old artist Emily Mooney will once again contribute one of her art pieces. “She is a very talented artist and has designed a piece for the auction every year,” says Harrald. “This is one of the largest single fundraising events in Claremore,” she continues. “Hundreds of students have benefitted through the years because of the generosity of businesses and individuals who care about higher education and this university. Lives have truly been changed.”

MAKEOVER

FREE Information Seminar Thursday, April 19 at 6 p.m. Bailey Ranch Clubhouse RSVP 918-994-4100 After child birth, many women lose some of the volume and firmness of their breast tissue. Dr. Kent recommends either a breast augmentation, a breast lift or a combination of the two, mastopexy-augmentation. Pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the abdominal wall, stretching the muscles and the skin. Add stretch marks to this and you have the typical post-pregnancy abdomen. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, treats all of these problems, helping to restore your pre-pregnancy appearance or, in some cases, improve upon it. Often, Dr. Kent can combine breast and abdomen procedures in the same surgery with dramatic results. Please contact our practice today to schedule a Mommy Makeover consultation.

Back to a Pain-Free Life Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma helped patient lead a normal life after 15 years of back pain.

By Carol Beck-Round For 15 years, Stephen Hager battled back pain. Physical therapy, steroid injections, electric stimulation and painkillers didn’t relieve the pain following an accident in 1997. “I didn’t want to get hooked on medications,” says Hager, “and most treatments only gave me temporary relief, two weeks at the most.” Back pain affects 85 percent of the U.S. population at some point in their lives. Hager’s pain began with an injury to his left thigh. While working at the Port of Catoosa, Hager was looking forward to playing basketball at an Oklahoma college that fall. His basketball dreams ended, however, when he accidentally cut into the muscle in his thigh with a concrete saw. Surgery left the injured leg 3/8 inches shorter. Six months of physical therapy followed so that Hager could learn to walk again. Told by doctors that he would never be able to walk without a cane or a crutch, he decided at age 18 that he would rather limp. “It’s kind of hard to get a girlfriend when you’re limping around,” he says. “So I began to contort my body so it would

disguise the limp.” Because Hager was fighting the limp, his spine became crooked. “As years went by, the pain got worse,” he says. “I’d get to a point where if I had an episode, I couldn’t move. They could last anywhere from two to three days to almost two weeks.” It was through a friend that Hager learned about Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma. “My friend talked highly of Dr. Gary Fortner, so I thought I would check out this treatment that I had never heard of,” he says. After Dr. Fortner measured Hager, he confirmed the left leg was indeed 3/8 inches shorter. “I thought I was destined to have surgery,” says Hager. “I learned that if I had already had back surgery, I would not have been a good candidate for spinal decompression.” Hager began his 20-treatment plan in early February. “The first two weeks, I went daily, Monday through Friday for one hour each visit,” he says. “There is no pain involved in the treatment, and I had immediate relief after the first one.” After just two weeks of

Finally, a proven treatment for lower back and neck pain.

treatment, Hager had absolutely no pain. Before then, if you had asked Hager to describe his pain level on a scale of one to ten, he would have replied with a six or a seven. “You just grow to accept it,” he adds. However, the pain had affected his ability to hold down a job. “I don’t like to miss work,” he says. “However, there were days I had to miss because I was in the hospital or at a doctor’s office undergoing treatment. I didn’t have a choice because the pain was so intense.” The day Hager first walked into Spinal Decompression’s office, he says, “I could barely walk in because I was stooped over in pain.” His brother, Seth, affirms the shape his older brother was in before he began his spinal decompression treatments. “He couldn’t even stand up straight.” “I am very pleased with everyone in the office,” says Hager. “They all take time to visit with you and discuss what you are going through, while some doctor’s offices run you through like you are part of a cattle herd. They don’t. They really care.”

Stephen Hager, who suffered from back pain for 15 years, says it affected all areas of his life. Hager stands beside the Accu-Spina machine at Spinal Decompression of Oklahoma that helped him find relief from years of pain. For Hager, relief from the constant pain has had another benefit. “Before I went through spinal decompression, my pain sometimes stopped me from doing things with my children. I am now able to spend time playing ball outside with them.” “I highly recommend spinal decompression to anyone who has been sitting there in pain,” he adds. To find out more about

Claremore Welcomes Motorcycle Enthusiasts

The 2nd annual Dog Iron Poker Run will be held Saturday, April 28, beginning at the Claremore VFW. By Tanya Andrews The 2nd annual Dog Iron Poker Run is set for April 28. The event kicks off at the Claremore VFW with registration at 11 a.m., the first bike out at 1 p.m., and the last bike out at 2 p.m. The inaugural poker run raised $1,400 for Rogers County Youth Services, and they hope to raise even more with the 2nd annual poker run. Cars, motorcycles, or whatever you might drive or ride are more than welcome to join the fun. All proceeds benefit Rogers County Youth Services. Riders can purchase their playing card at $5 per hand, or buy four hands and get the fifth one free. Obviously, the more you buy, the better chance you have to win the high hand (number). Top prize is $500 cash, sponsored by Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs, and will go to the rider with the highest overall number, for the high hand. Each stop will have event volunteers that will record the number on the number chip, so essentially they are playing with numbered chips, not cards. “We haven’t forgotten those of us

who usually lose at poker, so we have a great prize for the low hand (number) winner,” says Tanya Andrews, executive director of the Claremore Convention & Visitors Bureau. Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs will give a Race Day table for six in the Turf Club. This prize winner will receive dinner for six, with each member of the party receiving a T-shirt and racing programs. Several other prizes will be raffled off, some at the beginning and the end of the Poker Run, and others only at the end. Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5. There will be a 50/50 raffle, with 50 percent of the proceeds going to Rogers County Youth Services, and the other 50 percent going to the winning raffle ticket drawn. Event T-shirts will be available for purchase at both the VFW and Will Rogers Downs, with proceeds from T-shirt sales also benefitting RCYS. New this year are seven stops on the run, two of which can be used to throw out two of the rider’s lowest numbers, and

these two “extra stops” are free. Riders must make a minimum of five stops, so the “extra” are not required. Stops include the Claremore VFW, Totem Pole Park, Hilltop in Chelsea, Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch, Pops in Oologah, Graybeards in Collinsville, and the final stop to check in is at the Cherokee Casino Will Rogers Downs. “With a $90,000 budget shortfall in the next fiscal year, this couldn’t come at a better time,” said Herb McSpadden, Rogers County Youth Services executive director. “To help raise funds, organizations have to be creative and think outside the box, so when we were approached about this event, we were glad to hear of the interest and recognize the diverse background of participants that are looking forward to it.” Tanya Andrews, a long-time motorcycle enthusiast, believes that riders from across the state are missing out on the beautiful scenic rides in northeast Oklahoma. “Enthusiasts like us come from all walks of life. Many are business owners,

This is a great cause and they need our help. What RCYS provides is a great service to our community and to all of northeast Oklahoma, so if we can help raise a little money to help, we are glad to do it.” Everyone is welcome to participate in the 2nd annual Dog Iron Poker Run on

The Butler Did It The American Red Cross plans another intriguing murder mystery for April 20 and 21.

By Carol Beck-Round The year is 1950. The head “Boss” of a crime gang from Kansas City, Missouri has rented a large house in Claremore for a meeting with Mr. Big, a rival gang boss from St. Louis. The Boss wants to meet with Mr. Big in a neutral location to discuss a truce or the union of the two rival gangs so they can take over all of the Midwest. Of course, the plot thickens, just as all of Mark Ogle’s murder mysteries do. In “The Butler Did It,” Ogle has done it again with a play guaranteed to entertain and stretch the audience’s sleuthing skills.

Part of the fun of the murder mysteries written by Ogle is audience involvement and the opportunity to win the coveted “Super Sleuth Award.” Not only do audience members take a stab at who the culprit is, they must figure out why he or she committed the dastardly deed. “When I write a play, I tell the story so that there can be three to five possible logical endings,” says Ogle. “I give many extra clues so there is no predetermined ending. Sometimes I am not sure while I am writing who the culprit is going to be,” he adds.

Playwright Mark Ogle (left) and play director Dan Huey (right) go over Ogle’s latest script, “The Butler Did It,” with David Barron, who will be portraying a crime boss in the murder mystery fundraiser.

“In the past,” says play director Dan Huey, “it has been known for the guilty party to change from night to night of the play’s performance. A classic example is the ‘Ghost in the Mansion.’” Ogle and Huey’s partnership as playwright and director was formed in 2004 with that same play, which was performed at the Belvidere Mansion. “He does the writing,” says Huey, “and I do the directing. It’s a good partnership because I can’t write and he can’t act.” Both laugh because even Ogle admits that he tends to overact, although he does appear in some of his mysteries. This is his 18th play, with two mysteries performed each year, one in the spring at RSU’s Will Rogers Auditorium and in the fall at Claremore First United Methodist Church, which collaborates with the American Red Cross in a dinner theatre. All proceeds from both performances support Rogers County American Red Cross disaster-related services. The spring event, cosponsored by Rogers State University and Rotary Club of Claremore, will take place this year on April 20 and 21. “We

are very grateful to RSU because they allow us to use the theater for rehearsals for a week leading up to the play’s debut,” says Huey. Audience members will delight in the return of some well-known characters from past Ogle plays, including Deputy Harold, a cousin to Sheriff Buford Tullis, who will also appear in “The Butler Did It.” David Brace will return as Deputy Harold. “Once he puts on the costume, he is Deputy Harold,” says Ogle. Another character, Deputy Harold’s friend, is Filbert, played by Ted King. Filbert owns a used car business and is a “wannabe detective,” says Ogle. “Filbert graduated from the Acme School of Private Investigators in Las Vegas.” Twenty-three actors will round out the cast of characters, including David Barron, RSU’s executive director of enrollment management, who will portray “The Boss.” This is Barron’s third play with the American Red Cross. Eight youth, ranging in age from eight to 15 years old, will also appear in this classic mystery with the iconic “butler did it” theme. Other familiar

Pastor Ray Crawford, Claremore First United Methodist Church, will be reprising his role as Sherlock Holmes in the American Red Cross fundraiser, “The Butler Did It,” set for April 20 and 21 at RSU’s Will Rogers Auditorium. acting faces will also include Ken Skidmore, Celina Davis, Dakie Reeder, Ray Crawford and Lisa Fink, along with a host of new faces. Both performances will begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6. Cost is $15 for adults and $5 for students. “We invite everyone to come to this family-oriented, clean entertaining fun,” says Ogle.

Like A Turtle…Love A Youth Adopt a plastic turtle to support Rogers County Youth Services and Volunteers for Youth.

By Melynda Stone “Like a Turtle…Love a Youth” is this year’s version of the traditional Rogers County Youth Services and Volunteers

for Youth turtle event. You may remember the event from previous years as the Rogers County Luck O’ the Turtle

Race. In the revitalized version, participants may adopt and keep their uniquely numbered plastic turtle for a $5 donation to the

two non-profit organizations that serve Rogers County youth. Area bank partners, including RCB Bank, will once again be helping with turtle “sales,” and locations are identified with yellow and green “Adopt A Turtle Here” banners. Turtles may also be obtained by contacting either agency. An optional Facebook contest gives this year’s event its social media twist and the “Like a Turtle… Love a Youth” name. Kindle Fire tablets will be awarded in each of three age divisions to the turtles receiving the most “likes” on the event’s Facebook page. The age divisions are defined as children up through age 12, teens age 13 through 19, and adults age 20 and up. Participants may dress or decorate their turtle, photograph it, and give it a “story” of up to 100 words. Once approved for submission (by emailing the entry to turtletales@rocketmail.com), the turtle photo and story may be posted by the participant on the event page and then the “race” is on for the most “likes.” The contest period runs from April 2 through April 30, with turtles available at all “turtle outlets” by opening day. “Both Volunteers for Youth and Rogers County Youth Services offer programs that directly impact the lives of youth in our county in very positive ways,” said Melynda Stone, one of the event organizers. “Our

partnership on this event will enable both our agencies to meet critical needs by fundraising in a manner that involves all ages, fosters creativity, and involves the ever-growing arena of social media. We’d love for all our turtle entries to ‘go viral’ right along with the message that our local youth-serving agencies are changing lives every day,” Stone added. Area bank partners include RCB Bank, Grand Bank, BancFirst, Tulsa Teachers Credit Union, IBC Bank, Tulsa Federal Employees Credit Union, and Bank of Commerce. The event page is ww.facebook.com/likeaturtleloveayouth, and more information is available by emailing turtletales@rocketmail.com or by phoning (918) 343-2530. Rogers County Youth Services and Volunteers for Youth are among the 26 agencies supported by Rogers County United Way.

Hemophiliac’s Knee Pain Led Her to Dr. LaButti In a long list of orthopedic surgeons that hemophiliac Kortney Breshears visited, Dr. LaButti was the first able to treat her.

By Joshua Danker-Dake Kortney Breshears, 19, of Antlers, Oklahoma, has hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder. In July of 2010, she dislocated her right kneecap. “I first saw an orthopedist in McAlester, but because I had hemophilia, he was afraid to touch me,” Kortney says. “He told me that since surgery was not required, I could live with a crooked knee.” Nearly a year later, Kortney was experiencing dislocations from even the slightest of movements. Kortney contacted her hematologist and was connected with an orthopedist in Oklahoma City. “This orthopedist wasn’t knowledgeable about hemophilia,” Kortney says. “She didn’t see anything wrong with my knee and didn’t know why I was experiencing pain. I did twelve weeks of physical therapy under her care, but without a lot of results. At that point, she wanted to do surgery to reconstruct the left side of my knee. I decided to look for another orthopedist.” A clinic in Paris, Texas directed Kortney to a specialist

in Dallas. Finally, a friend referred her to Dr. LaButti. “Dr. LaButti welcomed me and my hemophilia, which was a huge relief,” says Kortney. “At my first appointment, he had enough familiarity with hemophilia to ask me which deficiency I had. My comfort level rose, and although Dr. LaButti hadn’t worked with a hemophiliac before, he welcomed the challenge.” Dr. LaButti identified the problem with her knee immediately, Kortney says. “My knee was not tracking correctly because my kneecap was out of place. He also discovered laxity in my ligaments that was adding to the problem.” They discussed therapy and how it hadn’t worked, then elected to do surgery. Dr. LaButti worked with Kortney’s hematologist to create a treatment plan to control Kortney’s bleeding before, during and after surgery. In September, 2011, Kortney underwent a tibial tubercle osteotomy. Kortney’s tibia was shaved near the joint, the shaved

piece was moved and fastened with two screws, her kneecap was moved to align correctly, and the laxity in her ligaments was alleviated. “I was very concerned because this was my first surgery, but Dr. LaButti was great at calming my fears,” Kortney says. “He worked closely with me and let me call any time I had a question, no matter how silly it was. And he explained the procedure so well.” Prior to the surgery, Kortney had experienced arthritis pain and grinding in the knee. “A few days after surgery, I began to feel less pain than I had before the surgery. I spent almost ten weeks with my leg in extension. Every time I visited Dr. LaButti, the staff was so encouraging, which really helped me get through it. Getting out of my brace felt like my greatest accomplishment.” Kortney has finished her recovery, and says her experience with Dr. LaButti was entirely positive. “My knee has healed completely, with no problems and very little pain throughout

Kortney Breshears had difficulty finding an orthopedic surgeon who was comfortable treating her due to her hemophilia, until being referred to Dr. LaButti. the process. I have very little arthritis pain now and no grinding. My physical therapist was impressed with how well aligned it was and how much better I was already walking. He says he’ll recommend Dr. LaButti to any of his patients who need a great orthopedist.” For more information on Dr. LaButti or knee or hip

Artisan Boutique Drawing a Crowd Crafted: An Artisan Boutique offers unique products crafted locally with Oklahoma pride.

By Carol Beck-Round Jerry Fairchild is the first to admit that he is not crafty. Eileen Skockopole confesses she doesn’t have a head for business. However, the two have found a match that resulted in a business partnership called Crafted: An Artisan Boutique, located in historic downtown Claremore. Fairchild, who has a background in the retail business and marketing, and Skockopole, who is crafty – the lefty taught herself to knit three years ago – have a common goal: to provide an outlet for creative people to sell their products. “Although I am not the crafty kind, I have always been fascinated by the arts,” says Fairchild. “I used to help my sister sell candles at craft shows. I was amazed at how much work was involved in getting ready for the shows, including the time, travel and set-up, only to walk away with few sales. I wanted to offer a place where artisans could do what they enjoy – creating their products – and leave the business side to me.” Although Skockopole had tried the business side before, like most artisans, she just wants to create her knitted products, including scarves, fingerless

gloves, hats and some clothing. When Fairchild contacted her last fall about being a vendor, she said, “No, I want to be a part of it.” “Our friendship and business partnership clicked immediately,” he adds. “We are close friends, and it was fate that brought our skills together.” All products sold in the boutique are made in Oklahoma. While only two of the vendors are certified “Made in Oklahoma” vendors, Fairchild hopes to encourage his other vendors to apply for the certification. Of their 18 vendors, 15 are from the northeastern Oklahoma area, while the other three artisans create their products in Oklahoma City. The store carries handmade soaps and lotions, made from goat’s milk by a Sand Springs vendor, as well as another line by Okie Crowe created from leftover oats and grains. “The vendor’s husband makes beer,” says Fairchild. “She uses the leftover oats and grains to create her all-natural soaps.” Hand-beaded jewelry by 3 Gals Glitz and hand-tooled artisan jewelry called Paintin’ by

Faith also line the walls of the boutique. “The artisan jewelry is made with hand-tooled metals like copper, sterling silver, nickel and brass, along with leather,” says Fairchild. According to Fairchild, their children’s clothing and merchandise has become very popular with customers. Three vendors provide handcrafted children’s products, including tiedyed infant wear, hair bows, “monster” tees, and dolls and teddy bears. Other products include bowls and wine stoppers made from reclaimed wood, usually maple and sycamore. “This artisan is Made in Oklahoma certified,” says Fairchild. Backwoods Stemware, another product carried in the store, is the name of a Claremore vendor’s creations. “Her stemware, which includes wine glasses, beer mugs, champagne flutes and margarita glasses, are made from Mason jars,” he says. “She will also do bulk orders.” Other products include hand-painted greeting cards, homemade jams and jellies, pillows, silk scarves, tumbled marble tile coasters, recycled sweater scarves, handbags, plush

The store also offers classes to the public to learn crafts like knitting, chocolate making, oil painting, beaded jewelry – anything in the way of crafts. They will also be offering four summer craft classes for children. “For $5 per class, they will be able to take home a handmade craft project,” he adds. Classes will be offered in June and July. “We are also looking for local artisans to become a part of our store,” says Fairchild.

GGet Your Glow On

Dr. Mallory Spoor-Baker of Advanced Cosmetic Medicine offers procedures to help you look amazing this spring and summer.

By Sheryl Sowell During the spring and fastapproaching summer months, less is more – people are dressing in less clothing and wearing less makeup. When you’re out at the lake or by the pool over the next few months, you won’t want to have foundation caked on your face – you want to feel free and confident in your skin. Dr. Mallory Spoor-Baker of Advanced Cosmetic Medicine in Tulsa can help transform the appearance of your skin into a look of radiance for the warmer seasons. For patients who desire dramatic changes in heavy textural issues, Dr. Spoor-Baker recommends the Pearl, a resurfacing laser that combines the best effects of Erbium and CO2 lasers without the risk of serious side effects. “The Pearl is essentially a thermal peel, providing significant surface exfoliation. My Pearl patients have smoother skin, smaller pores and an overall refined texture within three to five days. Their skin is fresher, softer and brighter, and their heavy lines are greatly improved.” The Pearl procedure combines the impact of

Cosmetic treatments from Advanced Cosmetic Medicine can help you feel confident in your skin.

resurfacing lasers with the gentleness and safety of non-invasive procedures to treat aging and sun-damaged skin and create a healthy, pearl-like glow. The laser procedure that most dramatically changes pigment – red or brown – is Intense Pulse Light (IPL), also known as limelight. “IPL is excellent for the treatment of brown and red pigmentation on the face, hands and legs, or just about anywhere else,” Dr. Spoor-Baker explains. “We’ve known for years that IPL laser also stimulates collagen synthesis in tissue, so you can see improved skin texture, smoothness, and reduced pore size. On the face and neck, IPL helps to clear up blotchy skin, uneven pigmentation, veins, redness, and texture problems. It works extremely well on the hands to remove brown pigmentation and will also improve the overall skin texture. In as little as two treatments you can see clearer, younger-looking hands.” To treat fine line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, redness and scars, Dr. Spoor-Baker recommends

the Laser Genesis procedure. It utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively improve your appearance. “Over the course of four to five treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore your skin’s youthful glow by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a creamier, healthier complexion as large pores are reduced in size and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.” Call (918) 280-0270 today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Mallory Spoor-Baker.

Spring Into Action for MS

The Spring Market will be held Saturday, April 28, 2012 at Mingo Valley Christian School from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with all proceeds benefitting the National MS Society, Oklahoma.

By Sheryl Sowell In conjunction with the 25th annual Walk MS: Tulsa, to be held Saturday, April 21 at Tulsa’s Veterans Park, a member of one of the MS walking teams has created the inaugural Spring Market on April 28. Laurie Dwyer, cocaptain of Team M.O.M. – Moms on the Move, has been involved with the National MS Society for several years, and had a desire to become further involved in helping the organization and the thousands of local people who suffer from multiple sclerosis. Laurie’s daughter Amy was diagnosed with MS in 2008 at age 16. “We became involved with the National MS Society when Amy was diagnosed, and they have been such a blessing in our lives. We are so grateful for everything they have done for our family, and we wanted to do something big to give back,” says Laurie. Laurie and Patti Barker co-founded Team M.O.M. four years ago and have participated in the Walk MS: Tulsa every year since. Their goal this year is to raise $5,000. “We also want to

create connections within the community,” says Laurie. “The theme of this year’s MS Awareness Week was ‘MS Kills Connections – Our Connections Can Kill MS,’ and the idea of a spring market connecting a community goes along with the theme perfectly.” Laurie explains that this is the first time she’s ever organized an event of this kind, and she has been pleasantly overwhelmed by the support offered from the community. She contacted Mingo Valley, where Amy attended school for 11 years, and the school went above and beyond to help. “Mingo Valley Christian School donated their facility without charge, and the junior class is hosting concessions for the event,” says Laurie. A diverse variety of items will be available for purchase. The 35 vendors include jewelry, photography services, books, home décor and wares (such as microfiber sheets), cosmetics, baby items, Tupperware, Scentsy candles, apparel and more. “The inspiration for the Spring Market

was an event like Mayfest, where you find a lot of different items,” says Laurie. “The majority of the vendors will be selling unique, handmade items; for example, we have one who will sell her beautiful homemade quilts, and

The junior class is volunteering their time to serve up breakfast burritos, donuts, coffee and bottled water in the morning, and taco salads, ultimate nachos, ham and cheese wraps, fruit, chips, cookies, candy, and drinks in the afternoon. All proceeds from the Spring Market will benefit the National MS Society, Oklahoma. Laurie is thankful to be able to give back to the National MS Society through the Spring

Market, as the organization has helped her daughter in so many ways. Amy is currently attending OSU with a double major in speech pathology and audiology, and she hopes to work at a veterans’ hospital after graduation next May. She is also planning her wedding to her fiancé, Caleb, in November. For everyone who has the pleasure of meeting Amy, it is clear she is a remarkable young woman who is thriving in spite of having this disease. MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, which interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. If you’d like to participate in Walk MS: Tulsa, find out more at www.walkMSok.org. Team M.O.M.’s Spring Market benefitting the National MS Society, Oklahoma will be held Saturday, April 28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mingo Valley Christian School, located at 8720 E. 61st St. in Tulsa.

Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. “We walk together to make a powerful statement and to keep moving toward a cure.

So You Think You Can Cook Barbecue? on to win in other national competitions. “This is no amateur performance,” says Richard Mosier, event co-chair. “This event is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, and trained certified judges will be determining the winners in each category.” Learn more about KCBS rules and regulations at www.kcbs.us/about.php. Because of the growing reputation of Claremore’s event, more judges than ever before have applied to judge the barbecue samples, according to Mosier. However, if your secret barbecue recipe has earned raves from family and friends, don’t let this stop you from entering the competition, which offers $12,000 in cash prizes to the winners. It’s one of the largest KCBS cash purses in Oklahoma. “Past winners have not always been professionals,” says Mosier, “so don’t let this stop you from entering,” says Mosier. Approximately 45 teams vied for the trophy and cash prizes last year. “We have many returning competitors,” he adds,

“because we are consistent. They like us and we like them.” If you like barbecuing, here’s your chance to see if your recipe and grilling techniques are good enough to capture the grand prize. Categories include beef brisket, pork ribs, pork butt, chicken and dessert. Although entrants are expected to provide their own meat for these categories, those who enter the People’s Choice category will have their meat provided. “For those who provide their own meat, all entries will be inspected,” Mosier adds. “They must meet certain standards before being approved for the event.” Each team may also enter more than one category with one $200 entry fee. The fee includes a space and water, septic and electric amenities. The Rotary Club is also currently seeking sponsors for this event. Major sponsors already include the Cherokee Nation, Jack Kissee Ford, Hydro Hoist and RCB Bank. Six different levels of event sponsorships are available, ranging

from $250 to $10,000. The top three levels have limited sponsorships, while the bottom three sponsorship levels are unlimited. Vendor booth spaces for businesses and non-profits are open, subject to approval. “There are limitations on what can be sold,” Mosier says. “We also want to avoid duplication.” Business vendors pay $150, while non-profits, who must also have committee approval, will be charged $40 for their space. “We have other organizations, including the Blue Star Mothers,” says Mosier, “who will be participating with a booth.” Proceeds from the event benefit the Claremore Reveille Rotary’s projects, which include personalized dictionaries for Rogers County third graders, building an elementary school in Kenya, water wells in Nicaragua, shoes for Orphan Souls, the Medical Supply Network, End Polio Now, RYLA Student Sponsors, scholarships for area students, Will Rogers Day Parade and leadership training.

Nut-in Like a Good Antique and Craft Show set aside should inclement conditions arise that weekend. Destination Claremore is a yearly, weeklong event sponsored by the Claremore Convention & Visitors Bureau, featuring fun events for the whole family. Since The Nut House is located on the historic “Mother Road” between Claremore and Catoosa – and is a historic feature itself – it is the perfect spot for The Antique and Craft Show. The Nut House will of course be displaying its usual variety of nuts, gourmet food items, and gifts during the Antique and Craft Show. Hot Mama’s Deli will be serving up its delicious lunch fare for the event, with a full menu including sandwiches made from Boars Head Meat and Amish cheeses. Hazel hopes that some will want to sample the delectable dessert items they’ve added to the menu. With names like “Gooey

baited with a formulation that is reportedly 2.5 times more effective at eliminating termite colonies than the original Sentricon System. Although the original system is still effective, the new HD formulation is just a lot better and longer lasting. With it, traps generally have to be checked only once each year because there is bait in every station. Termites eat the bait, carry it underground into their respective colonies, and regurgitate it, where it is consumed by other members of the colony. As the deadly bait is consumed, activity becomes less and less until the colony is eliminated. Sentricon

Swarming Termites Mean Business Mother Nature’s predicts the appearance of termites early in 2012.

By Duane Blankenship The research department at Mother Nature’s Pest Control reports that 90 percent of all termite colonies swarm every year, usually in the spring. They typically swarm during daylight hours when it’s sunny and usually after a rain. Swarming termites should always be taken seriously because they are reproductive colony members being sent out to form new colonies. They live only four to six hours and are your “alarm clock” that termites are in the area. Mother Nature’s predicts that 2012 is going to be a great year – for swarming termites! “Although swarmers usually appear around the first of April, they were reported this year as early as late February,” said Pest Manager Tara Pearson. Mother Nature’s has been eliminating termite colonies since 1979 and is still the largest Sentricon installation and monitoring company in the state of Oklahoma. The Sentricon Elimination System is eco-friendly and provides homeowners great peace of mind. A licensed, experienced, and knowledgeable termite specialist will gladly do an inspection of your home and provide you with

“Still the number one Sentricon installation and monitoring company in the state of Oklahoma,” says Shelia Disler, spokesperson for Mother Nature’s Pest Control.

bait station installations save the homeowner from having their home drilled with holes in the foundation, which results in a “machine gun” look that never goes away. Mother Nature’s lawn care department is led by Tom Sevitts, who has been in the lawn care industry for over 30 years. They treat all types of grasses with fertilizers and weed inhibitors, and apply treatments for the elimination and control of fleas, ticks, ants, spiders and other nuisance lawn insects. “Everything seems to be happening earlier this year,” says Tom. “If you haven’t already, call now to schedule an application of a good pre-emergent.” He also reports that cool-season turf (fescues) took a real beating with the prolonged heat and draught of 2011. If you did not reseed your fescue this past fall, Tom recommends that you wait until this coming fall to do so or lay new sod now. Seeding fescue grasses in the spring has a low germination success rate. “Bermuda grasses,” said Tom, “are not showing anywhere near the winter damage we saw a year ago when northeastern Oklahoma suffered one of our worst winters on record.” Our area is already seeing signs of spring with blooming and leafing Bradford Pear Trees. Soil temperatures have remained warmer than normal and crab grasses will predictably appear sooner throughout the area. Tom recommends that you scalp your lawn early this year, with one caution. Be sure to wait until any

Mazzio’s Adds Gluten-Free Pizza to Menu Those with gluten allergies can now create their own 10-inch or specialty gluten-free pizza for dine-in or carryout at certain Mazzio’s locations.

By Sheryl Sowell Mazzio’s Italian Eatery announces the addition of a gluten-free pizza to its menu at select locations. Guests can create their own 10-inch or specialty gluten-free pizza. The new pizza is available for dine-in and carryout at specific locations. According to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), approximately three million people have Celiac disease, and 10 million Americans have some form of intolerance or sensitivity to gluten. “Adding a gluten-free pizza is a must to better serve all of our customers, including those with gluten allergies,” said Greg Lippert, president and CEO of Mazzio’s. “We realized the need for a gluten-free option and have strived to make it as close to the Mazzio’s traditional pizza recipe as possible.” Alicia Wilbins of Owasso has Celiac disease and is thrilled about the gluten-free addition to the Mazzio’s menu. “It’s refreshing to go to a restaurant and find pizza that is delicious but a great gluten-free option,” she says. “I have always enjoyed the great salad bar at Mazzio’s but this allows me to actually go out for pizza with friends and family.”

Gluten-free pizza is available for dine-in or carryout at the following locations: Ardmore 52 Tiffany Plaza

Many people without gluten allergies thrive on a gluten-free diet as well. According to the NFCA, this diet is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing nutritional movements in America, gaining popularity for its health and therapeutic benefits. Eating a gluten-free diet may improve one’s health by alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and joint and muscle pain, among others. With 163 locations in nine states, Tulsa-based Mazzio’s Italian Eatery, established in 1961, offers customers fast service, convenience, value and quality. Its extensive menu features a wide variety of pizza, pasta, salad and sandwiches. Open daily for lunch and dinner, Mazzio’s is perfect for dine-in, carryout, delivery or catering.

Make Coffee Your Daily Grind Clary Sage College now offers a barista program for those with a passion for the growing coffee industry.

By Sheryl Sowell Do you have a passion for coffee? If your goal is to become a true artisan in the coffee industry, Clary Sage College has an exciting, innovative program for you. Their brand-new barista program is the only one of its kind in Oklahoma and one of only a few such programs in the nation. “The coffee industry is the fastest growing market segment of the food industry,” explains Barista Instructor Kent Berry. “This program is designed for those who desire to become artisan coffee makers. They may want to open their own coffee business, get into coffee shop management, or simply have an edge in the job market. Some coffee shop owners do not hire anyone unless they are careerdriven baristas.” According to Kent, the coffee industry movement is currently experiencing its third wave. “The first wave was gas station coffee, the second was the rise of big chain coffee shops such as Starbucks, and the third focuses on artisan roasted coffee,” he explains. “What our barista students learn is that creating coffee is an art form, similar to wine-making.”

Kent Berry, barista instructor, at the Campus Blend Coffee Shop at Clary Sage College. Students will gain a basic understanding of all things coffee – the history, botany,

lingo, effects of caffeine on the body, brewing techniques, business and marketing aspects,

Your ONE stop cooling supplier!

and much more, including tea and smoothie techniques. The three-week barista program consists of 65 program hours – 20 hours of theory and a 45-hour internship at the Campus Blend Coffee Shop at Clary Sage College, located at 3131 S. Sheridan in Tulsa. The program is a distance learning course; all of the theory portion can be completed online. This allows people from out of town – or even out of state – to complete the program. “In this case, we will work with the student to find a coffee shop in their city where they can complete the internship,” Kent adds. After graduating from the program, barista students will be able to prepare hand-crafted espresso beverages by properly grinding, dosing and tamping ground espresso, pulling the perfect shot and steaming the perfect milk; prepare frappe blended drinks and smoothies; grind and brew coffee using a variety of brewing techniques; be able to discuss and describe coffee by region or blend to help a customer find the perfect coffee for their taste; discuss the science of coffee from crop to cup; and discern coffee jargon. Kent’s personal love of coffee began early in life. His grandparents were restaurant owners, and as a child he was always fascinated by how their customers would sit and talk for hours over coffee. “These memories are how I came up with the name of my coffee blog

– they were the ‘coffee mafia.’” (Check out Kent’s blog at clarysagecoffeemafia.com.) As a student at Texas Tech University in 2000, Kent’s enthusiasm for coffee resurged with the opening of a nearby Starbucks. He became a regular, and later worked as a store manager for the company for several years. “I developed a real passion for coffee. When the opportunity for a barista instructor opened at Clary Sage College, I knew it was a perfect fit for me.” Kent did extensive research to develop the curriculum for the barista program and wrote the theory portion of the course. As with all Community Care College and Clary Sage College programs, the barista program offers continuing education opportunities, as well as lifetime career services to graduates. The barista course is a cash-pay program with no financial aid dispensed, but payment plans are available. Classes start every Monday.

Calling All Brides-to-Be The Tulsa Wedding Show – Glenpool will be held Sunday, April 29 at the Glenpool Conference Center from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

By Rodney Taylor planning a wedding remains a hectic task. Brides still find themselves exhausted from calling, missing calls, making

The Tulsa Wedding Show announces their newest wedding show for Tulsa brides. This smaller, more intimate show will be at the new Glenpool Conference Center, south of Tulsa Hills Shopping Center on Highway 75, on Sunday, April 29, 2012 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Although The Tulsa Wedding Show produces a January wedding show with attendance of about 2,500 people, and a summer show, which has about 1,400 attendees, Vicki Taylor, producer, believes a spring show is needed also. With constant changes in wedding fashions, Vicki believes that her upcoming spring wedding show will be just what newly engaged brides are looking for – and she is shaking up her traditional wedding shows with the Glenpool event. The original Tulsa Wedding Show was designed to meet the needs of women who had a wedding to plan with little time to plan it. In 1993, there was a need to make life a little easier for Tulsa brides-to-be by bringing wedding merchants together in one place and creating an easy come-and-go shopping experience just for brides and their family and friends. Although some things have changed,

www.ValueNews.com go there – and that pace can last for months. At all Tulsa Wedding Show events, though, brides can relax and take care of everything in a few hours. The Tulsa Wedding Show in Glenpool will showcase a variety of wedding professionals, including reception facilities, photographers, caterers, photo booths, videographers, florists and venues. Best of all, they have a variety of price ranges so that there are choices for everyone. No matter the type or style of wedding each couple desires, from formal to informal and large to small budgets, brides will enjoy many options available in one place. All of the exhibitors are highly accommodating with agreements and down payments. Most merchants offer show-only specials, so brides should ask lots of questions. The latest trend in wedding planning is vintage weddings. There will be several vintage wedding specialists at the show, so talk to them to see if “vintage” is right for you. Exhibitors will have QR codes at their spaces to allow brides to scan information. Busy brides can quickly scan info about the exhibitor and use the saved time talking to the exhibitor. At the Glenpool event, brides will not have to wait for fashion shows. Attendees can view the latest bridal fashions with elegant displays in the glass-enclosed foyer. Unlike traditional fashion shows that some brides miss because of the crowds, this one will last the entire day. Beginning at 1 p.m., and then on the hour, brides will have a

chance to win a collection of exhibitor products, but you must be present to win. Prizes will also be announced by text message to the bride’s phone. You may purchase tickets online at www.thetulsaweddingshow.com for $8 before the show and $10 if purchased at the door. “There are several great wedding venues that could host our wedding show,” said Vicki, “but the Glenpool Conference Center addresses several things that we like.” First is location. It is located on Highway 75 at 121st Street South, so it has great accessibility. And, the center is easy to locate after exiting the highway. The Glenpool Conference Center has several hundred free parking spaces and an ultra-modern facility. Vicki encourages attendees to come to the show with an open mind. “This is your wedding and there will be plenty of new ideas that every couple can add to their plans to truly make it a unique event,” she says. “Some of the most talented and creative designers, florists, cake artists, wedding planners, gown designers, decorators, and accessory designers participate in the show. Expect to see lots of new, exciting and beautiful elements to make all the events surrounding your wedding as special as the two of you!”
