April 2019
After the long, dark, winter months, spring is literally a breath of fresh air. And as the days get longer, the nights get shorter, and it starts to feel warmer, nature responds in a big way. Step outside and be rewarded with a crescendo of bird song, a display of flowers bursting into colorful life and the welcome sight of animals not seen since last year. This month we’ve compiled plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy the season including the annual Azalea Festival in Muskogee. What are you waiting for?
