Dear Main Streeters,

 

My board and I are excited about you coming to the Panhandle next month!
Remember, the meeting starts on election day, so you might want to vote
early. 

 

On Tuesday, November 6 in the evening is our Pangaea International Evening
(moved from the originally scheduled January date to November 6 so that you
could come!) that focuses on our diverse population. The meal is seven
courses, with a course representing each continent and a family representing
each continent. Area families will be from or have roots in India (Asia),
South Sudan (Africa), Special Needs (Antarctica), Australia (Australia and
Oceania), Europe (Norway), North America (Osage Indian), and South America
(Argentina).  The event is geared so that you have a chance to visit with
each of the families . which is great to have Main Streeters because I have
found them to be great talkers!

 

NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THE DOOR, so we need to know who wants a ticket,
in advance.  I don't mind invoicing you or you paying when you get here, but
I need to know before Friday, November 2, if you want to go.  The cost for
the tickets is $30 per plate (we have a fabulous caterer and I promise for
picky eaters, you'll be fine because dishes were picked that are acceptable
to the normal palate here), but for Main Streeters tickets are ONLY $25
EACH.  Because we want you there!  The event starts at 6:30 pm and doors
open at 6:00.  The Chamber Ambassadors will be there to greet you from 6 to
6:30 and it's business casual dress.  Unless you want to dress up, then you
go right ahead and do so.

 

On Wednesday, November 7, at lunch (11:30 - 1:30) there is Downtown Poker
and Progressive Lunch. Since we're talking about fund raisers, we might as
well show you a potential retail one at noon!  You will each be given a
poker card that is punched in the participating stores. When you bring your
cards back at 1:30 to the library, the person with the best poker hand wins
Main Bucks (our currency that is good at participating Main Street stores).
Each of the stores will have part of the meal that is available to you, all
at no cost to you, but if any locals want to participate, they will pay $1
for their card.

 

While you're downtown, notice the Veteran's Banners that are hanging on the
light poles.  On Wednesday, I will give you a handout and an explanation how
you can do this program in your community as a fund raiser.

 

That evening is an optional Dutch Treat Supper at the Galleon, a restaurant
that features Spanish, Filipino, and Mexican cuisine,
http://www.1565galleons.com.  The Guymon High School Alma Folklorica Dancers
(traditional Mexican dancers) will perform for us and you need to pay
attention because they are available to bring to your festival and school!
For those who would like, we will plan a game of Mexican Loteria (similar to
Bingo) because this is a fun little addition as a Mexican fund raiser.  The
cost to play is $1 for two cards and the winner will take home the pot (for
a fund raiser we usually do half the pot).  The Galleon also has the
Portside Bar, just fyi.

 

The morning will start with a welcome from the local university football
coach who will also spend about three minutes explaining our Aggie Family
program that has brought many new volunteers to Main Street Guymon and been
a phenom partnership between the university and Main Street.

 

For those of you who have never had a Panhandle Adventure, we are two hours
beyond Woodward.  Yes, and complaining about the drive garners no sympathy
because we make the drive for all the trainings!  Make it a road trip of
fun.  Go on into the mountains of New Mexico for the weekend . you'll be
really close.  Or travel the additional 90 miles west and visit Oklahoma's
highest point, Black Mesa.  The mesa lands are absolutely gorgeous and I can
give you tips on what to do there, if you're interested. Kenton, Oklahoma,
is Oklahoma on Mountain Standard Time . yes, for reals.

 

You might want to take a short detour and visit the old Drugstore in Laverne
(and Terri Wheeler has an office near there). The Drug Store is open from
9:00 - 5:30 and their phone number is 580-921-3373.

 

Mooreland, Oklahoma, has one of the coolest Northwest Oklahoma industries .
Prather Pool Cues, www.prathercues.com, is located at 200 S. Main Street and
their phone is 580-994-2414.  They don't normally do tours, but if you
called ahead and asked, it is fascinating!  Anyone who is famous in the pool
world has a Prather Cue.  They have actually had cues shown in the
Smithsonian Museum.  A family owned business that is great to see.

 

There you go with some ideas.  If you need to know anything else, please
feel free to email me.  You know I love to tell people where to go!

 

Looking forward to seeing you,
