A new leaf

WOW!  I did not realize that it has been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog.  Since then, there has been a change in city government and we are once again hopeful for the future of our town. 
 
So let me start again:
KUDOS to Andy Barrett (aka "Andy Bennett") and writer Nathan Gunter for getting a great write-up and photos of the Watonga Cheese & Wine Festival into the current Oklahoma Today Magazine! You did a great job as Festival Director overall and especially in working with the owners of Whirlwind Winery and OGIC making Wine a part of a long-standing Festival (what is better than WINE & CHEESE?). Perhaps your success has something to do with your many years of marketing experience?!?!? 
I am so proud of you and all that you've done in the Watonga community. 
I am re-inspired to promote Watonga as a tourist destination, the "Gateway to Roman Nose State Park", with the Chaparral Retreat B&B, the Oven, Oklahoma House Concerts, the Many Hands Art Space, and the Liberty Theatre.
I ask readers to check in at this blog for the "rest of the story".  I am in contact with Oklahoma Tourism magazine and other publications to see if we can get some more print coverage of what's available in Watonga.
