Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Eldon T. Bixby. I am 114 years young and arrived by train on a cold December day. I was named for Tams Bixby, my godfather. Tams handed down a magic candy cane for me to watch over the town and its citizens. I have been to war with my brothers and sisters and have shucked corn by my family’s side and even raised a barn or two. For the past several years I have been on an adventure of a lifetime touring our great state of Oklahoma and the Country. I had so much fun visiting everyone last year, I jumped for joy when the Bixby Historical Society asked me to spend my holidays again with you. I invite each of you to come with me as I travel through downtown Bixby! Each day I will post a clue of where I will be visiting in Bixby. Keep checking and follow me as I travel through Bixby.
Hello Everyone I am in Bixby now and I hope you have picked up one of my Travel Logs. They are in several of the businesses of you can get one here. Just download that and print it. To help everyone out I have decided to give the clues to the places I am visiting and then I told the Historical Society to give the answers. Follow me as I travel through our great town and then we can meet on the December 23rd to award the prizes!!!!!!!!!!!
