The Oklahoma Cowboy Hall of Fame and Heritage Center and the Kirkpatrick Science and History Museum. Took a float trip down the Illinois River. One trip per year, early summer. In addition to outstanding food, there are a variety of activities planned for children and adults. There are wagon rides with cowboys and Indians.
International students participate in the annual Lawton International Festival.
The students set up non-sales display booths where they show videotapes, slides, posters, handcrafts and hand out information on their respective countries. Held the last weekend in September. The reception is a tremendous promotional booster for our sponsorship program. The presentations are very informal, and generally lead to comparative discussion about the students' native country and the United States. These discussions frequently address economic, political and human rights issues.
