It was an excellent conference with several outstanding workshops. The emphasis this year is downtown beautification and the Main Street Park is an example of what they want to see accomplished in towns across Oklahoma. Meetings are held each month in different communities.
Plans are to continue advertisements through brochures, magazines and travel shows.
Brenda Reneau-Winn, Oklahoma Labor Commissioner, was in town for an impromptu meeting held at the Chamber office. She provided information about worker's compensation costs, safety and health programs and other labor information. We had a good crowd for the Watonga Trout Derby the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday in march. This annual event is held at Lake Watonga in Roman Nose State Park. Anita Woodruff continues to come up with new ideas and make improvements to the Watonga website.
