Oklahoma's Centennial Events (May 07, 2007) Oklahoma's Centennial officially happens Nov. 16, 2007, but the work started August 1, 1999 when J. Blake Wade was named the director of the Oklahoma Capitol Complex and Centennial Commemoration Commission. Since that time, Wade has traveled the state to involve Oklahomans in the celebration of statehood. He recently spoke at a Breaking Through luncheon sponsored by the Oklahoma City Chamber. You can find a listing of Centennial Events online. Listen « back |
