July 4th Holiday

We left Lexington at 9:30 and went first to Reeves Park in Norman. Things were just warming up with ball games, picnics, pony rides, and lots of politics. It seemed like everyone we met there was an old friend and supporter. We ran out of yard signs almost immediately.
On our way to Seminole on Highway 9, we stopped at my sister's farm east of Norman for just a few minutes, as we were in a hurry to get back on the road. Once in Seminole, we met our good friends and supporters, Senator Harry Coats, and his wife, whose son was playing in the band that day.
The next stop was Calvin-Atwood, where we joined about 400 people enjoying a free barbeque and a country music festival. It was the best kind of Oklahoma Fourth of July.
Finally, we arrived at McAlester where we met another supporter, Senator Richard Lerblance and his beautiful wife Frances. Cal also met junior cowboy, Joseph, and his mother Stephanie. Getting to meet and listen to so many Oklahomans and to join them in celebrating our nation's independence was one of the best experiences we've had. It will definitely be a 4th that we will never forget!
We also sent out our staff and volunteers to visit events in these Oklahoma cities and towns: Anadarko, Ardmore, Moore, Norman, Purcell, Tuttle, Ada, Chickasha, Marlow, Lawton, Tishomingo, Edmond, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Yukon..
