June is here! We are gearing up for an extremely busy, yet exciting month!


This weekend is packed with great events! Find all the details on our event calendar on the Chamber website. www.groveok.org


June 12-15 is the 8th annual Toes in the Grand Summer Kick-Off Festival and it’s going to be a ginormous weekend. Carnival wristbands are on sale with early bird pricing. Grab them for $25 in advance or for $30 at the event. You can purchase them at the Chamber, Grand Savings Bank, or at Grove’s Royal Liquor. We have eight bands lined up for Friday and Saturday and more than fifty vendors registered. Food truck alley is sold out with twelve trucks that will serve up tons of great options for everyone to enjoy.


The Chamber’s Annual Awards Gala is set for Thursday, July 17th at Shangri-La. Save the date and watch for more details coming out soon.


If are you hosting or helping with events happening at the lake, please make sure and add those details on our website. We encourage all event owners to help us in coordinating and promoting things to do all around Grand Lake. If you have questions or need assistance, please call our office at 918-786-9079.
