Live Web Feed from the Nationals
The Bulldog Club of America made history at its 1996
Nationals in Ontario, California by being the first AKC-recognized breed
club to do a live web site from its National Specialty. This effort was
repeated at the 1997 Nationals at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Plans are being
made to coordinate an even better live web feed from the 1998 Nationals.
Stay tuned for details but, in the meantime, you can visit the previous
years' sites here:
TOUR -- Oklahoma City "Old and New"
Sunday 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.
Rome wasn't built in a day but Oklahoma City was. More
than one hundred years after the historic land run on April 22, 1889, Oklahoma
City has grown from a town of 10,000 people in a single day to a thriving
metropolis with a population of a little less than one million. This tour
will trace the story of our great city from its spirited beginnings.
You will see the world's largest stockyards, one
of the most modern medical complexes in the country and the only state
capitol located in an oil patch. You will be driven through the historic
Heritage Hills area with its mansions of early day cotton and oil kings.
It is OKC's oldest preservation area. See the Overholser Mansion which
was built in the middle of a corn field in 1903. It was the first grandiose
home in OKC and it is now known as the "Grand Old Lady". You will see "church
Row" and "Automobile Alley". Hear the stories about Battle Row which was
the site of OKC's first commercial area and the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building (bomb site). Enjoy a walking tour of OKC's own rendition of the
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.
You will be driven through Remington Land which is
the area where many of Oklahoma City's finest museums and attractions are
located. Get more than a bird's eye view of Remington Park, our $102 million
Thoroughbred Horseracing Track. This glass enclosed, climate controlled
facility is the finest in the U.S.
Lunch will be at a landmark restaurant with a unique
history all its own, Barbecue and all the trimmings!
No visit to Oklahoma City is complete without a visit
to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center to enhance
its western flavor. It is supported by 17 Western states and is a treasury
of western art.
Stops Include:
-
Murrah Building (bomb site)
-
Inside the State Capitol
