September is here, and we have some exciting opportunities coming up in Grove and around Grand Lake!


Adventure Cruise Cards are available now! With a minimum $10 donation, you can participate in the Adventure Cruise September 11–12 for your chance to win a share of $7,500 in total cash giveaways! Visit all seven participating casino stops, collect your stamps and return your completed card to Wolf Creek Expo on Saturday, September 12. Cash drawings will take place throughout the afternoon. We are still taking registrations for the Indoor Car Show too. It's going to be a great weekend! 


Cruise Cards can be purchased at the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, Grove’s Royal Liquor and the Grand Lake Family YMCA in Grove. Your minimum $10 donation supports the Grand Lake Family YMCA Parkinson’s program, so you’ll be supporting a great local cause while also getting your chance at the cash!


Make a full day of Grand Lake Fest on Saturday with a cruise on beautiful Grand Lake! Grand Lake Cruises will be available by reservation, offering another great way to enjoy the lake and everything happening during Grand Lake Fest Weekend.


And don’t forget to get your tickets for our State of the Region Luncheon on Tuesday, September 22, at Wolf Creek Expo. We will welcome and honor Oklahoma Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell for his leadership and dedication to Northeast Oklahoma. Individual tickets are $25, with Silver and Gold sponsorship opportunities also available.


September is a busy month in Grove, and we hope you’ll join us! Contact the Grove Area Chamber of Commerce at 918-786-9079 for Adventure Cruise Cards, Grand Lake Fest information or State of the Region Luncheon tickets.
