According to the City of Anadarko Facebook page, their city sent out a special thanks to Bob Hawley and the Poteau Chamber of Commerce for a donation of Christmas displays for the city to use for their Christmas light show.
Hawley, who puts up and takes down the Christmas displays for Lights on the Island had some old displays that were not being used anymore. He said, “The items were sitting in storage and we needed to do something with them.” So, he contacted Kenneth Corn – who was instrumental in getting the Lights on the Island started. Corn, who is the city administrator for Anadarko, was excited about getting the displays and plans to use them throughout the city during Christmas.
Hawley stated there were “enough of the old displays to fill a U-Haul truck and two employees from the city of Anadarko came to Poteau and picked them up.”
The City of Anadarko Facebook post reads: “Special thanks to the Poteau Chamber of Commerce and their top-notch volunteer Bob Hawley for donating extra Christmas displays to the city of Anadarko. Their donation will add more to the displays along Central, the Hall of Fame and other locations through the community!”
Good Job Bob and to the City of Poteau for helping others
