Bobby & Janice,

​

     I have spent the last couple of days in beautiful Stigler Oklahoma. My son Daylan plays for the Tulsa Tigers 18 year old summer baseball team.

      I wanted to take a minute to brag on your City. I am astounded by the level of facilities you all have provided for your Citizens and the tourist that are flocking to your City. 

      But, as a City Manager myself I pay attention to more than just the facilities. I know that facilities alone are not enough to have the desired impact. It is clear that you all have had exceptional planning, engineering and marketing.        Just as impressive as I drove around town between games is the level of “pride in ownership”.  You can say that I was blown away! My experience tells me that no amount of enforcement can convince people not to litter and mow their yards.  Your people clearly care about how visitors see Stigler.

      Your community was ALIVE with “Reunion Weekend” and it was clear that volunteers had carefully planned the details for everyone to enjoy. Just for your math; we spent about $300 in Stigler. And that’s one of 14 on our team. 

     All I can say is your community must have fantastic leadership, amazing volunteers and involved citizens. BRAVO!!!

 

Cordially,

Steve Saxon
