McAlester`s Oldest Tradition Set For August 17

CHAMBER MATTERS
Vol. 2 No. 6
McAlester Area Chamber of Commerce
June 2007
McAlester’s Oldest Tradition Set For August 17 - 18
The stage is set for another
exciting event in McAlester!
August 17 - 18 marks the
67th Annual Oklahoma State
Prison Rodeo.
This year’s
event is building on the great
success of last year’s changes.
The most notable change
from past Prison Rodeos is
the date change. Last year
the rodeo was taken off
Labor Day weekend and
moved up two weeks. “Our
attendance grew from years
past due to some of the
changes that were made,”
said Helen Wheeler, Executive
Director
of
the
McAlester Chamber. “The
date change gave McAlester
another economically beneficial weekend and it gave people the ability to take part in
other events and activities in
the area during the holiday
weekend.
Another noticeable change
that was made in 2006 was
the inclusion of female
inmates in the competition.
The women have proven to
be another big drawing card
for the event. The women
inmates compete in the same
rough stock events as their
male counterparts. “The
women worked hard last
year to be taken seriously,”
said Rodeo Chairman, Connie Guidry. “Their drive and
determination has definitely
shown through with their
performances. We look to
them to really give the men a
run for their money this
year!”
Both the male and female
inmates will be competing
Bull Riding, Bronc Riding, as
well as the famous Bull Poker,
Money the Hard Way, and
other timeless prison rodeo
events.
The International Professional Rodeo Association will
continue to sanction this
event for the timed events.
Card carrying members from
all over the country as well as
local cowboys will compete
in Steer Wrestling,Team Roping, Calf Roping and Barrel
Racing.
Sponsorships are also available for the Prison Rodeo.
Companies can sponsor
boxes, chute gates, arena banners, and the prized belt
buckles. Companies interested in participating in the
Prison Rodeo can contact
The Chamber at 423-2550.
The Choctaw Casino is the
presenting sponsor of the
2007 Prison Rodeo. The
Choctaw Casino will be
bringing in national recording
artists to kick off the rodeo
each night by singing the
National Anthem. “This is a
great tourist event not only
for the city of McAlester but
also for Southeast Oklahoma,”
Guidry
states.
“McAlester has the opportunity to show off the growing
economy in this area. So
many people are visiting and
moving to the area, this event

community leaders who
have been frequently meeting to put together a week
full of events that will not
only celebrate 100 years of
statehood, but celebrate
various aspects of our city.
Events such as the Old
Town Festival, Heritage
Day, the recognition of
local businesses that are
100 years old or older, and
a unique event called a
cemetery tour are just
some of the happenings
that are being discussed.
The cemetery tour is in
conjunction with a theater
group that will research
individuals in local cemeteries, dress in period
clothing, and act out the
person(s) that were
researched.This sounds
interesting as well as fun
and educational. The centennial commission was the
idea of Eddie Gray and Pam
Bundy and will be held
October 1 through October 7. Joe Ann Vermillion is
the chairperson of the
committee and she is doing
an excellent job in leading
the group. The week long
celebration will be promot-
ed throughout the area and
should draw a large number of patrons to
McAlester. If you would
like to get involved in the
planning or want to participate with an event, please
call the Chamber office and
help McAlester celebrate
our great community and
state.
Rodeo performances begin at
8:00 pm nightly with the
gates opening at 6:00 pm.
Tickets go on sale June 20 at

Top 10 Advertising Mistakes
The goal of advertising is to
cost-effectively reach a large
audience and attract customers. Watch out for the
following mistakes:
1. Not going after target
audience. An ad campaign
should be geared to your
niche market. Do not create
generic ads that do not speak
the language or grab the
attention of your potential
customers.
2. Not accentuating competitive advantage. What
gives you the edge? Too many
ads are clever, but do not sell
the benefits of the product
or service.
6. Letting budget run advertising campaign. Budget based
on seasonal advertising
needs.
7. Diversification. Do not
put all of your eggs in one
basket. Spread advertising
dollars around.
8. Trying to be everything.
No product or service will
appeal to everyone. Find your
market and be everything
you can be for that audience.
9. Not testing your ads in
advance. Test ads on other
people to see if they get the
message that you are trying
to convey.
10. Monitoring ads. Take
time to ask new customers
or clients where they heard
about you to learn which ads
are generating business.

3. Not establishing an image.
There are plenty of products
you recognize from the packaging or logo. Image counts
when it comes to ads and
promoting your business.
Build a consistent image.
4. Being too thrifty. Typically
advertising is not the place to
cut corners.
5. Advertising in the wrong
place(s). Know what customers read, watch and listen
to and advertise in media
that reaches your target market.

“McAlester Pride” - Business Spotlight of the Month
Taco Bob’s Fiesta Grille
The Chamber’s Business Services Committee and the
McAlester Ambassador Club
are proud to announce the
creation of a new monthly
recognition for one of the
Chamber’s business members. This recognition will be
called the “McAlester Pride”
Business Spotlight of the
Month and will be for a business that has demonstrated
excellence and exhibited
dedication to making our
community a better place to
live.
This month’s recognition
goes to Taco Bob’s Fiesta
Grille and its owners Bob &
Glenda Woolman. Taco Bob’s
is located at 307 S. Main in
McAlester.
According to Woolman, it
was opportunity - the
opportunity of purchasing
the Taco Hut in Tandy Town
Shopping
Center
that
brought him to McAlester in
1974. That opportunity has
resulted in 33 years as a
restaurant
owner
in
McAlester, having owned
several restaurants and other
businesses over the years.
In 1984, he opened Taco
Pronto at the South Main
location where he’s presently located. That business had
about 2400 square feet and
about 10 employees.
Over the last couple of
years, Woolman has expanded and remodeled his business to include the entire

occupation of over 10,000
square feet. He currently has
25 employees.
Over the years, customers
came to know Woolman as
he took their order and
made sure that they were
seated as quickly as possible.
He was always personable
and friendly as he greeted
each customer, often by
name.
Soon customers began to
refer to Woolman as “Taco
Bob” and referred to the
business as “Taco Bob’s”.The
name stuck and even though
the name of the business is
Taco Bob’s Fiesta Grille,
most customers refer to it
simply as “Taco Bob’s”.
During the remodeling, customers have marveled over
what’s new and different
since their last visit. Virtually
all of the remodeling has
been done during off and
slow hours. The expansion
and remodel has resulted in
a beautiful restaurant both
inside and out.
Another change at “Taco
Bob’s” is that Bob no longer
takes your order. He now
seats you or sees that you
are seated and then takes
your payment as you leave
the restaurant.
Friendly
wait-persons now take your
order and continue to provide the great meal experience that’s always been the
case at Taco Bob’s.
The McAlester Chamber is
proud to recognize this
month’s “McAlester Pride”
Business Spotlight of the
Month – Taco Bob’s Fiesta
Grille, known for their quality, atmosphere, and service.
We encourage you to go by
and say hello to “Taco Bob”.

Business Casual Tips for Summer
Before you go shopping for
your
summer
work
wardrobe, consult your company’s dress code. You may
have a formal policy on
whether seasonal pieces like
sandals and T-shirts are
acceptable.
General Guidelines
Spring and summer clothing
are defined by bright, cheery
colors. Add some of this
color
to
your
work
wardrobe. Don’t go overboard.
White and lacy clothing are
popular, but if you choose to
wear these fabrics, also make
sure you’re wearing appropriate undergarments.A little
overexposure can go a long
way in souring your credibility.
Keep a cardigan or blazer at
your desk, to provide a quick
cover-up if you get called in
for an important meeting.
Check
with
your
employer before wearing:
Sandals and open toed shoes
– if toes are exposed, keep
feet clean.
Capri pants and gauchos –
Pair them with dressy, professional heels.
Polos & T-shirts – Stick to
conservative, basic styles.
Trendy jewelry – Big earrings,
necklaces and belts are popular, but use discretion when
wearing them to work. Avoid
accessories that can become
distracting to others.
Remember to avoid clothing
that is sheer, sloppy or
revealing, such as : denim
shorts; short skirts; halter,
strapless or tank tops; flipflops; workout attire; beachwear; midriff-bearing clothing; concert T-shirts or those
with offensive slogans.
The Bottom line: Enjoy the
season, but when it comes to
office wear, always err on the
side of conservative.

* Boost your marketing
and advertising results
by using personalization. This is easy to do
when
communicating
directly to one person by
email, postal mail or telephone – just use their
name. But what about people seeing your ads, listening
to your radio commercials
or visiting your website? You
can effectively personalize
to groups by referring to
known characteristics in the
target market. For example,
use phrases such as: “When
you started your business…
“ for business owners;“Your
favorite NFL team…” for
sports fans; and “Every
mother knows…” for
women with children.
Group-oriented personalization isn’t as effective as
