Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Eldon T. Bixby. I am 119 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 raises a barn or two. For the past several years I have been on an adventure of a lifetime touring the great state of Oklahoma and the country. I had so much fun visiting everyone over the years. I brought my great grandchildren Ellie and Elliot with me again this year to spend the holiday with you. We will be showing up in over 40 downtown Bixby businesses. I invite each of you to come with us as we travel through downtown Bixby! Each day I will post a clue of where we will be visiting in Bixby. Keep checking and follow us as we travel through Bixby.
This Historical Society has our travel logs ready, and they are available to pick up at the following locations:
Roast House Coffee – Bixby Library – Bixby Ice Cream Company
Scott’s Hamburgers – Apple Barrel Cafe – Mr. Phone
Bixby Historical Society – Blue Sky Consulting and IT Services
We would also like to give a big thank you to our sponsor this year –
The Rotary Club of Bixby
