Idaho and Wyoming, the first concert of the new spring
and summer season.
Tickets are $25 in advance or $20 for seniors over
65 by going online http://www.cimarronbreeze.com or
by calling Monica Taylor at (405) 612-3183. Tickets for
all 6 shows are $140, and can purchased Saturday night
or online, or at Old Station Monuments on west Highway
33 west of Perkins, at Daddy O's Music in Stillwater, or
at Waltman Realty in Cushing.
A really fun time will be had with this super group of
mountain and bluegrass music.
"We are thrilled that they are coming to Perkins," said
Monica Taylor. "The leader of the band, Thomas Sneed,
plays with me when I tour in the upper Rockies and I
guarantee a great night of music. You will not be able to
keep from tapping your toes and maybe even getting up
to clog a few tunes!"
Taylor added, "Don't forget the wonderful time we
always have at the potluck dinner open to all concert
goers starting about 6:15 p.m. Bring a dish or just a
hungry belly!"

about $4,500 to help
upgrade his trailer.
Lester showcased the
trailer recently during
an emergency response
disaster fair at the Payne
County Fairgrounds.
"It was the first year
that we participated in it,"
Lester said. "It was worth
going to. A lot of people
were impressed with the
trailer and were surprised
that Perkins had it."
Ernst said the Perkins
Fire Department plans
to use some of the sales
tax money to purchase
bunker gear and the
Police Department plans
to replace two vehicles
next year.
"Next year the police
department is going to
purchase two new vehi-
cles and replace the two
oldest ones we have in
the fleet," he said. "They
are also going to purchase
patrol rifles for cars."
Ernst said the City
wouldn't be able to
replace or purchase equip-
ment as quickly without
the public safety sales tax
revenue.
"It has been a real
blessing for the City," he
said. "A lot of these items
are big-ticket items and
things we really need."
