Welcome Home 245th Eng Co


My Brother is HOME!

The 245th eng. co. arrived back on U.S. soil in Oklahoma and will be officially released in a few days. The welcome back ceremony for the family was held November 7th at Fort Sill. The crowd went wild when they saw their solidier march in to the gymnasium. I still get goose bumps thinking about the roar of the crowd and how proud we are of them! I will write more soon I just have so much home work for school right now I don't have time to keep up with this blog very much.

Campaign Kick off for Cole Butler

Celebrations come to a close this month as Oklahoman’s reflect on the past century. The tenacity and pioneering spirit still fill the hearts of those who call Oklahoma home. Today the time has come to look forward. Looking forward is what Cole Butler is doing, as he takes a huge step, of throwing his hat into the ring for Rogers County Sheriff. On November 3, from 12 noon to 3 at The Nut House’s new event center, residents of Rogers County are encouraged to come have a bite to eat, and sit and visit for a while as Cole kick’s off his official run for Rogers County Sheriff.
Cole chose the Nut House’s event center, because of the location and the rustic atmosphere. “If you pair that with the forward thinking of the new owners in their preparation for the growth of Rogers County, there is no better place,” said Cole. “Besides, they have some of the best homemade treats in the state.”
When Cole was eight, he escaped the big city by reading the stories penned by Laura Ingles Wilder. He was determined to have the pioneering spirit and live in a log cabin. For the last 16 years, Cole and his wife Debbie have been raising their family in a log cabin, situated in the northeastern part of Rogers County. As another demonstration of his pioneering spirit, Cole is running for the Rogers County Sheriff.
Cole has served on the Tulsa police force for over 26 years. His qualifications in law enforcement are extensive and he is highly regarded by his peers on the force. Cole sees a need for some changes in the Rogers County Sheriff’s department. Currently Rogers County is the fastest growing county in Oklahoma. According to Cole “The sheriffs department has to progress as the county progresses”.
The Nut House is on the forefront in progress, with the development of an event center that has a family friendly atmosphere. Weddings receptions, concerts, large family reunions and even watch parties now have an economical venue and a convenient location with a gorgeous setting. The event center boasts a stage, kitchen facilities, plenty of restrooms and ample parking. The Nut House still offers a great selection of antiques, crafts, specialty candies, gourmet coffee, homemade fudge, and jams/jellies on top of the fresh pecans available October through January. Patrons to the Nut House can visit with sales associate, Sharon Daughtery, who is excited about the added features and amenities the Nut House, is offering. “We have a wonderful selection of items that will make great Christmas gifts”.
The route to The Nut House may take a little extra driving when coming from the north on 66 ~ you will have to use the turn around a little further south then head back in the northbound lane. Even with the extra bit of driving that may incur it will be well worth the drive.
Gather the kids up, drive over to the Nut House on November 3, and meet Cole Butler who wants to be your Rogers County Sheriff. “I love to learn and I am excited to bring progressive ideas to the sheriff's office”.
