February 28th, 2009 grandlake Posted in Grand Lake OK Events & Festival Comments Off

Welcome Back Week End...Grand Lake Casino Night Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Cherokee Yacht Club on South Grand Lake will host Casino Night 2009 during Grand Lake Welcome Back Weekend, Saturday, March 7th at 7 p.m. For those of you who enjoy , “The rest of the story”

Here is the history on the origin of Welcome Back Weekend. This event was started in March of 1992, by Terry Frost, Owner of Cherokee Yacht Club. The weekend originally started with a poker run on Saturday and the showing of the hands on Sunday. Grand Lakers’ Terry Frost and the late Barbara Connor came up with the idea of incorporating a Chamber sponsored “Casino Night”, which became an instant success.The idea behind Welcome Back Weekend is to get you back on the lake so you can enjoy Grand Lake more of the year. The event is not just a party anymore; it has come to signify the beginning of boating season on Grand Lake . The professionals will bring in Vegas style Black Jack, Craps and Roulette as well as entertainment provided by Left On Harvard, a Grand Lake Favorite! We will have a silent auction, and a live auction conducted by JB Robison Auctions, beginning at 9 p.m. For all of you who participate in the poker run during the day, admission to the event gets you one wild card to add to your other five cards. You have to come to the event to receive the card, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to complete your winning hand at Casino Night 2009. We will have Vegas Style Show Girls, games, live music, wild cards, live and silent auction and a GREAT TIME. Write down the date, March 7th, Cherokee Yacht Club at 7 p.m. Plan on a weekend full of Grand Lake fun!! Please call 782-3214 for more information.

Friday March 6 Grand Lake Live radio broadcast on FM 96.1 will be presented from “Hookers” from 5pm to 7 pm. Dave and Debbie Wagenblatt will be on the show breifly to talk about the Grand Lake real estate market. There is always a fun group there so come join the fun. Then Saturday is the big day with the POKER RUN with some great prizes up for grabs. You’ll get chips at each of the stops to turn in for your cards at the Casino Night event. Come join us and Welcome Back!

February 6th, 2009 grandlake Posted in Grand Lake General, Grand Lake OK Events & Festival Comments Off

Arrowhead Hospitality Sweet at Tulsa Boat Show

The Tulsa Boat Show is the 5th largest boat and travel show in the country. It happens every year at this time and is a signal for everyone to get ready for lake fun. The Grand Lake presence accounts for about 60 % of this show which covers a couple of acres and is all indoors. There is every kind of boat you could imagine as well as travel trailers, campers and motor homes. Harley Davidson motorcycles, kayaks, fishing equipment and all sorts of information and brochures for Oklahoma State Parks, Real Estate and more.

A number of Grand Lakers and members of the Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce chartered a bus to to see the show one evening and have some fun. When we

Boats up to 100 feet long are on display

arrived we first went to the Arrowhead Marina, Boat Sales and Yacht Club hospitality suite to have a little snack before spreading out to see all the sights.

The event reminds us that spring is quickly coming. In fact the temperature at Grand Lake is going to get into the 70’s today. The fishing is picking up and in about 3 weeks people will flock to Oklahoma’s favorite fun place… Grand Lake, OK. Want a lakefront home at Grand Lake. You can get one. As they say.. Come to Play, Plan to Stay!

The Chronicle of Grand Lake

Voice of the Grand Lake area

Located in Northeastern Oklahoma’s “Green Country” is Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees and the fun place to laugh, love and be merry in Oklahoma! There is always something going on… places to go, things to see & things to do. Right in the middle of all this is the “Voice of Grand Lake” which has not only promoted this fantastic area but does a tremendous service for the Grand Lake community.

Pick up your free copy of

The Chronicle of Grand Lake

The Chronicle of Grand Lake keeps you informed

The publisher Brian Ruth, his boss, Sue, and the managing editor, Mike Williams orchestrate this publication so every Thursday people can pick up their free copy of the Chronicle to find out what has happened during the past week and what is in store for next week. If there is something going on at Grand lake, you will find them there and it’s very possible Bart Montgomery will take your picture. You could then be reported as being a fun person. Imagine that! You will see these guys everywhere whether it’s a Chili Cook Off, Poker Run, the Grand Lake Rally, the Pelican Festival or the annual 4th of July fireworks display at on Duck Creek.

: Chronicle of Grand Lake

You name it, if it has something to do with Grand Lake, they are there including public meetings with G.R.D.A. or interviewing our state representative, Doug Cox. They get involved with fund raisers as well. Brian Ruth was the chairman for the Grand Lake Rally. Mike Williams has been the master of ceremony for numerous events and festivals around Grand Lake. We sometimes wonder how they manage to get so much done because they stay so busy. It must be a labor of love, and Grand Lakers love their Chronicle.

Dave & Debbie Wagenblatt, the Get “Grand” Results Team with REMAX Executives live on Monkey Island and have advertised in the Chronicles real estate section for years. In fact they now also have an ad on the cover of that section. The Chronicle published an article a couple years ago which you can see by clicking on the “About me” Button on the left side of this blog.

Monkey Island fine dining is a tradition.

October 17th, 2008 grandlake Posted in Grand Lake OK Events & Festival, Monkey Island OK Comments Off

Every October about this time, a tradition of fine dining continues on Monkey Island, OK at the “Shebang” restaurant. This is the start of the “guest chef” night every Wednesday starting at 7:00 p.m., but people meet at six p.m. to partake of liquid refreshment to loosen lips for the fun evening of good food, conversation, and laughter. The brilliant idea was originated by the proprietor Joyce Duke who I have dubbed the “Mistress of Mischief” ( she earned it) and affectionately has been called “PITA” by friends. That is an acronym. You figure it out. She has had many great ideas over time as you will see should you spend time at Monkey Island on Grand Lake, OK. You’ll hear more about these things in this blog and will be able to see some of it on the Monkey Island Picture Show. Lets see, some of the attendees were Doug Smith and his wife, Gretchen Zumwalt Smith, Mike & Carrie Wiiliams, Mike Long, Dwayne Richardson, Tammy Botts and of course myself (Dave) & Debbie Wagenblatt amongst others. The star of the evening was Mo, Joe & Julio, (also known as Kelly Whitehead), who prepared Cuban quisine. Kelly received a standing ovation for her culinary skills. To be part of this experience reservations are required so the guest chef will know how much food to prepare.

25th Annual Pelican Festival at Grand Lake in Grove, OK Oct. 3-5

October 3rd, 2008 grandlake Posted in Grand Lake OK Events & Festival Comments Off

Welcome to the 25^th Annual Pelican Festival. We’re looking forward to an exciting Silver Anniversary Event and hope you’ll join us as we celebrate the return of the American White Pelican to the waters of Northeast Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.

The festival will be held October 3-5 at the Grove Community Center located downtown at Third and Grand Streets. There will be an Art and Craft Show with outdoor booth spaces, creating a festive fall site as well as other entertainment and activities.

This year’s Pelican Festival is being put on in partnership with the Grand Lake Association and the Grove Downtown Merchants Association with the assistance of our valued sponsors.

This is a fun time and the Pelicans are here. Debbie and I drove around the lake and saw them everywhere. We stopped and took a few pictures at the Bernice State park where there were 40 or 50 Pelicans. They move around so be sure to get around to see them. Obviously, start in the Grove area around Carey Bay, Wolf Creek and up the Elk River arm of Grand Lake. Then work your way around to Monkey Island, then Bernice and the Horse Creek arm of Grand Lake. Continue on toward Ketchum, Duck Creek and the dam area. It makes for a great fall day. Hope to see you there!
