Shop Local this Christmas Oklahoma is the only state in the nation where municipalities rely on sales tax as their only form of tax revenue to fund operations. The sales tax on purchases you buy locally returns to your community, not just benefiting businesses owned by your friends and neighbors, but also by helping to fund road maintenance, water system improvements, parks, public safety, the library, and other services that help make Guthrie a great place to live! Staff Spotlight: Aaron “Cat-daddy” Ryburn, GTV20 Production Coordinator Length of time working for the City of Guthrie: 4 Glorious, fun-filled years Favorite thing about Guthrie: The Genuine and Unique People that make this community special! I also love working for the city alongside people that have heart and determination to make this city be a bright city on a hill! Favorite memory/story from your position: Too many to share, but each one has left me thankful for working with and for the greatest people on the planet! I love when I produce a video and my supervisor Jim (the best boss ever!!!) says to me, “Way to put some lipstick on that pig!” I’d like to share how I got the nickname “Catdaddy”, but that was after hours with Jim Ahlgren and Damon Devereaux. Personal interests: I love to fish and spend time with family and friends. I love coming to Guthrie on the weekends and talking with people from all walks of life. Your favorite vacation destination: Somewhere private, desolate and quiet with beautiful scenery! Or I’d settle for Guthrie, any day! Describe yourself in one word: Rounded Finish this sentence: People would be surprised to learn that I…was a cheerleader in high school (‘cause I got to hang out with the prettiest girls in town, yes I know that was a genius move!). I also was Santa Claus for the Anadarko, Oklahoma Christmas Parade for 8 years in a row, and I started a Christmas Display in Anadarko near Chickasha. Best advice to others in 25 words or less: Live, Laugh, & Love like it’s your last day on earth! If you were able to have lunch with one famous person, who would you choose? John F. Kennedy, just to ask him what would he want his legacy to be. and Utility Billing Dates Here are some important dates for paying utility bills in December 2015: December 15th: Bills due.
