OkMoments.com Launches
New Web Site Showcases Oklahoma Past, Present and Future
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK- By combining Oklahoma’s glorious past, present and future with up- to-the minute technology, Distinctly Oklahoma magazine and the Oklahoma History Center have joined forces to create “okmoments.com ,” a free daily email service.
“When we started publishing Distinctly Oklahoma magazine, it was our goal to showcase our great state’s people, events, style and travel,” said Don Swift, publisher of Distinctly Oklahoma. “Now with ‘okmoments.com’ and our friends at the Oklahoma History Center, we will be able to share briefly, each day, some of the joys, triumphs and tragedies that make up the fabric of Oklahoma.”
According to Swift, those who register at “okmoments.com” will receive an email five days per week that will, in less than a minute, give an insight into the Oklahoma spirit.
“It was appropriate that we began this project on the anniversary of the first Oklahoma land run,” said Swift of this week’s launch. “And in our first month alone, we are featuring everything from historical figures such as Anton Classen and Carl Albert, to modern day happenings such as the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts and the El Reno Onion Burger Day.”
Swift adds that the email productions will be divided into several categories.
“Our stories will be geared toward Oklahoma people, events, sports, travel, Oklahoma pride/arts and history,” he said.
Oklahoma History Center Executive Director Dr. Bob Blackburn is excited about both the partnership and the project.
“We have been involved with Distinctly Oklahoma magazine since they began publishing and believe that, together, we can remind Oklahomans that, no matter where their particular journey in life has taken them, a piece of their heart will always belong to the Sooner State.”
Those wishing to receive the free daily service need only to go to “okmoments.com” and register, Swift added.
