Chamber President/CEO recognized at Oklahoma Mentor Day
Jon Blankenship was recently recognized as an Honored Mentor at Oklahoma Mentor Day for his dedication to the Coach-A-Kid Enid program.

When Titan Rork moved to Oklahoma, the elementary student was having a hard time adjusting to his new routine and did not have a male role model in his life. Titan, now 11, was matched to Jon Blankenship three years ago through the United Way of Enid's Coach-A-Kid Program, and it has placed his life on a positive trajectory.
NWDJLS is a way to Invest in Our Future
In a few weeks, the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce will be host to one of the largest livestock shows in our state. The 84th Annual Northwest District Junior Livestock Show will bring over 800 4-H and FFA students and their families to Enid. If a business doesn’t have ties to the agriculture industry, it is possible they do not even know about this 7-day event. The hope of organizers is that they see new businesses become involved in the show this year.
