Thank you to everyone who came out Sunday to help the American Legion Auxiliary honor our veterans at Pie and Coffee with Will Rogers. Bart Taylor, Will Rogers historian, from the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore was the entertainment and he put on a great show. Will’s wit and insight is timeless, and he was also quite the showman. Bart demonstrated several of Will’s rope tricks and he would have made Will proud. If you didn’t attend, once again you missed another great local performance.
