About me:
Visitors have always known Stillwater is a special, friendly town. They just love Stillwater’s wide variety of entertainment options from star-studded concerts at the Tumbleweed Dance Halls and Concert Arena to shopping in the historic Downtown or Campus Corner areas. With an abundance of attractions and numerous, unique “home-grown” restaurants, Stillwater is an instant favorite.
No visit to Stillwater is complete without a stop at Eskimo Joe’s for a plate of their world famous cheese fries and colorful t-shirts.
Experiences on the beautiful campus also include the excitement of Big 12 athletics inside historic Gallagher-Iba arena, known as the “Rowdiest Sports Arena in the Nation!” But don’t forget…the National Wrestling Hall of Fame is just next-door.
Stillwater’s hospitable attitude was best captured by a story retold in the November 2004 issue of Oklahoma Living Magazine. Susie Kessler, a Main Street merchant, knows of one visitor who was duly impressed by the town’s friendly atmosphere.
“A friend came to visit me from Chicago so I took her downtown because we have a lot of really neat boutique shops here,” Kessler says. “She was really enjoying the shops, and we were walking down the sidewalks, and a cowboy came walking towards us and as he passed, he tipped his hat to both of us and said ‘Howdy Ma’am,’ ‘Howdy Ma’am,’ and walked on by. My friend turned to me and said ‘How did you do that?! It’s like something out of a movie!’ And I said, ‘It’s not a movie, it’s Stillwater.”
If you are in town Thursday night, you can support Scouting in the Stillwater and surrounding communities by eating at Chick Fil A. The details, and your free coupon are at www. cimarronbsa. org
