This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

The Fire play their home games at FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

Through their first four years, the Fire have established themselves as the premier franchise in TBL. Along with winning the TBL championship in 2023, 2024 and 2025, the Fire organization was named the 2022 winner of the Jim Koch Award as TBL’s Best Ran Business. The dance team of the Fire, the Fire Girls, were named TBL’s Best Dance Team in 2022 and 2025. The Fire Girls were also named the Central Conference Best Dance Team in 2023 and 2024.

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (LOCO) is open for public runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 29626 Lake Dr., McLoud.

We are open to the public the first Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The entry fee for public run will be $5 per person.

We are available for birthday parties the second Saturday of the month. Please see Book an Event at locotrains.org

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot (1/8th scale) and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline approximately three quarters of a mile that passes over seven bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

While many members own and operate a variety of miniature railroad equipment, L.O.C.O. maintains equipment for club member use. In addition to a number of passenger-carrying cars and assorted freight cars, several locomotives are kept on site. The most interesting is probably the 4-4-2 (Atlantic) steam engine, affectionately known as “Double Aught Ugly.” This locomotive is an actual coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive and takes a fair amount of “train” knowledge and instruction to operate. For those whose railroading leans toward the cleaner and more modern, there are three models of diesel-powered locomotives. One is a GP-7, an over-the-road unit, and the second is a Super Mack, which was patterned after a light-duty switcher built by the Mack Truck Company in the 1920s. Both of these locomotives are battery powered and can be operated with a minimum of knowledge and instruction. The third diesel engine the club owns is a replica of a GP-38 and uses a gasoline engine as the primary drive source.

Every Saturday morning members meet at the track to spend time working around the L.O.C.O. property or on equipment. The first Sunday of each month is reserved as a public run day when all can come out and play trains during the months of January through November. We do not have a public run in December due to our Christmas Night events. People wishing to see and ride the trains can arrive early and use the picnic tables on the grounds to eat lunch, and then enjoy riding trains from about 1 PM until 4 PM. The second Sunday of the month is reserved for club members to bring their equipment to the track and enjoy running trains with a train dispatcher that can control the movement of trains running bi-directionally (both ways at the same time) by radio dispatch. During these second Sunday run sessions, some special night time operations can also occur.

The L.O.C.O. facilities are meant to be enjoyed by everyone and can be made available for special events with children’s birthday parties topping the list. For a donation determined by the number of guests, trains (made up with “kid-sized” cars) along with qualified operators will be dedicated to the party group and ready to carry excited riders over the rails.

This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

This unique space runs along the north side of the main corridor that links the hospital’s older and newer wings, giving patients, families, and staff a chance to pause and enjoy artwork as they go about their day. The gallery features rotating exhibitions by regional artists, showcasing a range of media—from paintings and photographs to mixed-media pieces—that change every few months and keep the experience fresh.

What makes this gallery especially welcoming is its thoughtful setting: because it lives in a healthcare environment, the art on display is chosen to feel calming and uplifting for the wide variety of people passing through. Each show is installed with care so it enhances the space without interrupting movement through the hallway, turning an everyday walk through the hospital into a little cultural pause. It’s a lovely example of how art can be woven into everyday community spaces, bringing creativity and comfort right where people need it most.

ABOUT THE POTAWATOMI FIRE

The Potawatomi Fire are the first professional basketball team owned by a Native American tribe (Citizen Potawatomi Nation) in Oklahoma.

Participants will walk away grounded and refreshed with creative & practical knowledge of Mindfulness self-care methods merged with art and nature. All workshops engage our souls and senses in a delightful journey toward wholeness through art, poetry, journaling and movement.

Please join us! No previous experience required…come as you are… ready for an experience in enchantment!

SWAN redefines person-in-relation to place, laying the foundation for restoring the health of people and the planet through the language of art and the power of imagination.

Art & Nature Heal, Imagine That!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, April 11| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

This volunteer-led experience unites communities to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and raise funds to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

Although each Relay For Life event embraces the uniqueness of the home community, every event does have the same four signature elements: a celebration of cancer survivors, a celebration of caregivers, a luminaria ceremony to honor and remember loved ones, and the opportunity to fight back against cancer.

A sound that unmistakably embraces the attitude and poise of legendary bands.

Breathing new life back into the soul of rock - these dudes just dropped a brand new full length studio album featuring "Talkin' $hit" & the hard-hitting original "Last of the Light Brigade". The new album is a timestamp to the rolex of rock-n-roll, especially during a time where true humanity in music and art is becoming lost. TROY is a true American rock band with reverence for the greats and their dedication to the cause. This Missouri rock outfit embodies a powerful force with their writing style and gripping live shows.

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (LOCO) is open for public runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 29626 Lake Dr., McLoud.

We are open to the public the first Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The entry fee for public run will be $5 per person.

We are available for birthday parties the second Saturday of the month. Please see Book an Event at locotrains.org

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot (1/8th scale) and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline approximately three quarters of a mile that passes over seven bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

While many members own and operate a variety of miniature railroad equipment, L.O.C.O. maintains equipment for club member use. In addition to a number of passenger-carrying cars and assorted freight cars, several locomotives are kept on site. The most interesting is probably the 4-4-2 (Atlantic) steam engine, affectionately known as “Double Aught Ugly.” This locomotive is an actual coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive and takes a fair amount of “train” knowledge and instruction to operate. For those whose railroading leans toward the cleaner and more modern, there are three models of diesel-powered locomotives. One is a GP-7, an over-the-road unit, and the second is a Super Mack, which was patterned after a light-duty switcher built by the Mack Truck Company in the 1920s. Both of these locomotives are battery powered and can be operated with a minimum of knowledge and instruction. The third diesel engine the club owns is a replica of a GP-38 and uses a gasoline engine as the primary drive source.

Every Saturday morning members meet at the track to spend time working around the L.O.C.O. property or on equipment. The first Sunday of each month is reserved as a public run day when all can come out and play trains during the months of January through November. We do not have a public run in December due to our Christmas Night events. People wishing to see and ride the trains can arrive early and use the picnic tables on the grounds to eat lunch, and then enjoy riding trains from about 1 PM until 4 PM. The second Sunday of the month is reserved for club members to bring their equipment to the track and enjoy running trains with a train dispatcher that can control the movement of trains running bi-directionally (both ways at the same time) by radio dispatch. During these second Sunday run sessions, some special night time operations can also occur.

The L.O.C.O. facilities are meant to be enjoyed by everyone and can be made available for special events with children’s birthday parties topping the list. For a donation determined by the number of guests, trains (made up with “kid-sized” cars) along with qualified operators will be dedicated to the party group and ready to carry excited riders over the rails.

To be sure, this is an unusual but exciting twist to the model railroading hobby. If it sounds like something that may interest you, please come out and visit. Get to know us and get involved. Memberships are ALWAYS available!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Gospel Show: 6:30pm

Main Show 7:30pm

Doors open at 6:00pm

Elvis impersonator Trent Smith returns to the Historic Ritz Theater with an Elvis tribute you won't forget.

“The best Young Elvis Show in the country. Trent Smith has perfected the young Elvis of the 1950’s.” – – Ms. Donna Presley, Elvis’ First Cousin

It is my pleasure to introduce the hottest new talent on stage today, “Young Elvis”, Trent Smith. Smith is a vibrant, energetic young man from middle America currently doing a tribute to early “Sun Records” Elvis Presley of the 50’s and early 60’s.

The “Young Elvis Show” has been called the best in the world by many who have seen him perform. Even some of Elvis’ family members say Smith is doing a show no other can cover due to his age and vocal skills. This is NOT your white leisure suit, Vegas Elvis show.

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (LOCO) is open for public runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 29626 Lake Dr., McLoud.

We are open to the public the first Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The entry fee for public run will be $5 per person.

We are available for birthday parties the second Saturday of the month. Please see Book an Event at locotrains.org

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot (1/8th scale) and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline approximately three quarters of a mile that passes over seven bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

While many members own and operate a variety of miniature railroad equipment, L.O.C.O. maintains equipment for club member use. In addition to a number of passenger-carrying cars and assorted freight cars, several locomotives are kept on site. The most interesting is probably the 4-4-2 (Atlantic) steam engine, affectionately known as “Double Aught Ugly.” This locomotive is an actual coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive and takes a fair amount of “train” knowledge and instruction to operate. For those whose railroading leans toward the cleaner and more modern, there are three models of diesel-powered locomotives. One is a GP-7, an over-the-road unit, and the second is a Super Mack, which was patterned after a light-duty switcher built by the Mack Truck Company in the 1920s. Both of these locomotives are battery powered and can be operated with a minimum of knowledge and instruction. The third diesel engine the club owns is a replica of a GP-38 and uses a gasoline engine as the primary drive source.

Every Saturday morning members meet at the track to spend time working around the L.O.C.O. property or on equipment. The first Sunday of each month is reserved as a public run day when all can come out and play trains during the months of January through November. We do not have a public run in December due to our Christmas Night events. People wishing to see and ride the trains can arrive early and use the picnic tables on the grounds to eat lunch, and then enjoy riding trains from about 1 PM until 4 PM. The second Sunday of the month is reserved for club members to bring their equipment to the track and enjoy running trains with a train dispatcher that can control the movement of trains running bi-directionally (both ways at the same time) by radio dispatch. During these second Sunday run sessions, some special night time operations can also occur.

The L.O.C.O. facilities are meant to be enjoyed by everyone and can be made available for special events with children’s birthday parties topping the list. For a donation determined by the number of guests, trains (made up with “kid-sized” cars) along with qualified operators will be dedicated to the party group and ready to carry excited riders over the rails.

To be sure, this is an unusual but exciting twist to the model railroading hobby. If it sounds like something that may interest you, please come out and visit. Get to know us and get involved. Memberships are ALWAYS available!

ALEX REYMUNDO
Special Guest:
MATT FROM NOMADS

With two 1-hour specials Red-Nexican & ALMA Award winning Hick-Spanic that aired on Showtime, Comedy Central & NETFLIX, Alex Reymundo's comedy style appeals to all demographics. Three words describe him best... FUNNY as HELL. Alex Reymundo and Ron White own & operate Number JUAN Tequila, a small batch, hand crafted, award winning Tequila.

Alex's exposure to LIVE standup began in Arlington, TX in 1988. Reymundo proudly boasts about serving Ron White Tequila & a Budweiser right before he hit the stage on Tatersalad's amateur comedy debut. The two Texas comics emerged & traveled the nation together for the first few years of their early careers. Five years of road gigging throughout the midwest led Reymundo to Los Angeles where he discovered an exploding Latino comedy scene. It wasn't long before Alex was touring with Paul Rodriguez. The timing was right, Alex emerged and hit the national scene on Paramount Picture's "The Original Latin Kings of Comedy" along side Paul Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, George Lopez & Joey Medina.

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (LOCO) is open for public runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 29626 Lake Dr., McLoud.

We are open to the public the first Sunday of each month from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The entry fee for public run will be $5 per person.

We are available for birthday parties the second Saturday of the month. Please see Book an Event at locotrains.org

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot (1/8th scale) and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline approximately three quarters of a mile that passes over seven bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

While many members own and operate a variety of miniature railroad equipment, L.O.C.O. maintains equipment for club member use. In addition to a number of passenger-carrying cars and assorted freight cars, several locomotives are kept on site. The most interesting is probably the 4-4-2 (Atlantic) steam engine, affectionately known as “Double Aught Ugly.” This locomotive is an actual coal-fired, steam-powered locomotive and takes a fair amount of “train” knowledge and instruction to operate. For those whose railroading leans toward the cleaner and more modern, there are three models of diesel-powered locomotives. One is a GP-7, an over-the-road unit, and the second is a Super Mack, which was patterned after a light-duty switcher built by the Mack Truck Company in the 1920s. Both of these locomotives are battery powered and can be operated with a minimum of knowledge and instruction. The third diesel engine the club owns is a replica of a GP-38 and uses a gasoline engine as the primary drive source.

Every Saturday morning members meet at the track to spend time working around the L.O.C.O. property or on equipment. The first Sunday of each month is reserved as a public run day when all can come out and play trains during the months of January through November. We do not have a public run in December due to our Christmas Night events. People wishing to see and ride the trains can arrive early and use the picnic tables on the grounds to eat lunch, and then enjoy riding trains from about 1 PM until 4 PM. The second Sunday of the month is reserved for club members to bring their equipment to the track and enjoy running trains with a train dispatcher that can control the movement of trains running bi-directionally (both ways at the same time) by radio dispatch. During these second Sunday run sessions, some special night time operations can also occur.

The L.O.C.O. facilities are meant to be enjoyed by everyone and can be made available for special events with children’s birthday parties topping the list. For a donation determined by the number of guests, trains (made up with “kid-sized” cars) along with qualified operators will be dedicated to the party group and ready to carry excited riders over the rails.

To be sure, this is an unusual but exciting twist to the model railroading hobby. If it sounds like something that may interest you, please come out and visit. Get to know us and get involved. Memberships are ALWAYS available!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, April 11| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members
