While Lindsey was off having the fairy tale wedding of her dreams, I made my way to the Tuttle Ice Cream Fest. The festival, organized by the City of Tuttle, is in its 22nd fabulous year. I was a little afraid we would be rained out for the day, but shortly after the day’s events got started, the sun came out, smiled on downtown Tuttle and made for the perfect ice cream weather!

I proudly ate three ice cream cones on Saturday (all by myself)! There were so many choices, but I decided to give the classics a try first: Rocky Road and Strawberry. For my third scoop, I tried out o...

The heart of Chickasaw Country is not typically the first place you think of when you hear the words "informal jam session." Yet, this week Davis, Oklahoma is playing host to the Arbuckle Mountain Spring Bluegrass Jam, and it's the hottest ticket in town.

Mom, if you are reading this I need you to stop right now! Seriously, do not read any further. Everyone else reading, please continue. Mother’s Day is just around the corner.

I sure wish I could have partied with the Great Gatsby gang, dancing the night away and the fabulous clothes and shoes!

How did your spend your Friday night? I spent last Friday night cruisin’ down Main Street in Duncan and daydreaming about my dream car (a 1969 Black Corvette Stingray) at the 6th annual Crusin’ the Chisholm Trail.

I wasn’t alone, guys. Over 10,000 people flock to downtown Duncan to check out this contest and the cool cars. It’s a big deal. One of my first stops was meeting Tammy Johnson who gave me a little background info. This event generates almost $100,000 in revenue that Main Street Duncan uses for annual events such as the Boo Review and the Christmas Parade. (I gue...
