| Weatherford Day |
Oklahoma Travel Center - Erick Oklahoma
May 16, 2008, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Return by: April 30, 2008
Come join the fun and promote Weatherford and your business when Weatherford's tourism partners tout the virtues of our tourism attractions - May 16, during National Tourism Week at the Oklahoma Travel Center near Erick. The event is a project of your Chamber's Tourism Committee and is open to any Chamber member.
Hosting a "day" at the travel center is an excellent opportunity to for Weatherford to meet one on one with the travel counselors and familiarize them with our tourism opportunities. Each day the Center's travel counselors talk with the traveling public about things to see and do in Oklahoma. Many times, a traveler will stop in a travel center and ask the Counselors to help plan their trip across Oklahoma,
