“Muskogee is a place that is home to so many, including mine. Downtown Muskogee is the heart of that home. With so many people’s life-long memories taking place here. These could be from attending a downtown event, shopping at a local business, enjoying a meal with friends and family, and more. These activities should be celebrated and cherished. Our role should be to give back to the community that has been there for us.”
