The new banners that drape the light poles on East “F” Street are getting a lot of attention and that’s just what we intended!
After “officially” winning the “Cowboy Capital of the World” Contest last year during the National Day of the American Cowboy celebration, The Cowboy Museum Board of Director’s wanted to do something for the community that reflected our triumph and that all could enjoy. During a Chamber of Commerce Tourism meeting it was suggested that we design banners that would dress the light poles and our visitors could see when driving to or through Oakdale. We partnered with the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce and the Oakdale Saddle Club and all three organizations contributed monetarily to make this project a reality. These flashy banners welcome visitors to Oakdale, The Cowboy Capital of the World while reminding them we have a rodeo the second week in April.
This was truly a tourism project that involved three organizations that encourage bringing visitors to Oakdale and promoting our western heritage. The banners were made by Signs by Randy so we also kept business in Oakdale too!! We hope the community enjoys the banners as much as we enjoyed this project.
