Additionally, Redbud award for Best Marketing Publication – Small Budget was presented to Oh18. The highlight of the evening was Visit Chickasha winning the Oklahoma Tourism Organization of the Year – Small Budget.

 

“Chickasha continues to exceed visitor expectations for a town of it’s size,” said Jim Cowen, president of the Chickasha Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council. “This award is a testament to all the great things happening around the community and exposure Chickasha is receiving.”

 

“With icons like the leg lamp and events such as Festival of Light, Rock Island Arts Festival Okla.
