Shout-outs

How quickly the years have passed — happy 42nd anniversary with my one and only.

This milestone is the perfect moment to look back with gratitude on our shared journey.

Across four decades, our story has intertwined with the vibrant changes in our community.

We remember the early days of marriage, watching our neighborhood grow as new businesses arrived and exciting developments took shape.

Lately, the city’s surge in commercial real estate, with lively retail centers and bustling office spaces, has brought fresh life to our surroundings.

Just like our relationship, the community has adapted and thrived, maintaining its friendly spirit while welcoming change.

With each year, our love has grown deeper, much like the city we call home.

Here’s to embracing future adventures together and celebrating many more years of love and transformation.

A newly installed bench at Spaulding Park in Muskogee now honors a longtime volunteer whose dedication shaped the park’s charm for years.

The tribute comes from the company where she spent much of her career before retiring.

Deeply touched by the recognition, she expressed her gratitude for the gift, highlighting her pride in having her name at the park she loves.

Her work reflects the spirit of community involvement central to Spaulding Park’s identity.

From major cleanups ahead of the annual Azalea Festival to a local child’s birthday spent inspiring neighbors to care for public spaces, the park thrives on volunteer support.

This personalized bench stands as a lasting symbol, encouraging all visitors to appreciate and sustain Spaulding Park for future generations.
