Background:
The Museum Broken Arrow will host the 2019 annual Pioneer Dinner on Saturday, May 11 at Broken Arrow High School. The Pioneer Dinner is an event held each year during Rooster Days, to allow Broken Arrow citizens to gather, share a meal and tell stories related to Broken Arrow’s history. Many of the Broken Arrow school classes plan their reunions around Rooster Days and include the Pioneer Dinner as part of their itinerary. The Museum Broken Arrow partners with the Broken Arrow Public Schools Alumni Association to coordinate the event.
The Broken Arrow Tourism Office (Convention and Visitors’ Bureau) supported this event for the first time in 2015 with a grant. Grant funding for the 2019 event will be used to help offset the costs of marketing and advertising the event. The event is expected to draw approximately 350 attendees. This event does have the potential to generate overnight accommodations.
Cost: $5,000.00
