Downtown Tulsa Walking Tours Making Their Return
After more than a year, Tulsa s downtown walking tours are making a return this weekend.
The Tulsa Foundation for Architecture is kicking off Second Saturday Tours with one called Tulsa Sound, happening in the Arts District.
Organizers said there is so much interest in the return of these tours, they ve already sold out of tickets, but you can still join the waitlist. They said there is a good chance of getting in one of the tour groups.
Tulsa Sound tour groups will begin the two-hour walking tour at Cain s Ballroom. It s the first tour Tulsa s Foundation for Architecture has organized in 17 months.
In today’s Teacher Spotlight, we introduce you to Kellen Stanley, an art teacher at Saint Mary’s Hall who used creative videos, a unicorn costume and art on a cart to keep the optimism rolling.
Cancer takes singer/songwriter Jessa Roquet, 42, before Lowertown show Her first album as Gambler s Daughter arrived just a month before her cancer diagnosis. June 9, 2021 12:12pm Text size Copy shortlink:
A solemn twist on the otherwise celebratory kickoff of St. Paul s Lowertown Sounds: Singer/songwriter Jessa Roquet, who performed under the stage moniker Gambler s Daughter, died of cancer at the age of 42 last week before her appearance in the series June 17. She ll very much be in our hearts and on my mind that night, and probably every night, said friend and fellow folkie Sarah Morris, who is also scheduled to perform that night. An unrelated replacement act, Fires of Denmark, has been added to the bill.
Today is: National Pig Day
Staff reports
National Pig Day honors the domesticated pig. According to Mary Lynne Rave, who started National Pig Day with her sister Ellen Stanley in 1972, the purpose of the day is to accord to the pig its rightful, though generally unrecognized, place as one of man s most intellectual and domesticated animals.
Events where pigs are the focus are held at zoos, schools, farms, sporting events, and nursing homes across the United States, particularly in the Midwest.
Pig-themed parades also are common. Some have interpreted the day as being a time to give pigs a break by not eating pork products, but others say it is the perfect day for eating bacon, ham, or pork chops.
