Table Talk

The Chicken Shack
In the backyard of the Deep Fork River, an unmarked shack is home to some of the best broasted chicken in Oklahoma. Without a sign, it feels like a secret hideout waiting to be discovered. Even the owner gives off an almost Capone-like vibe.

At White Dog Hill in Clinton, Oklahoma, even better than a bark is a bite of one of the restaurant’s beautiful creations.

Commentary
Managing change on behalf of members
In a time of unprecedented change in the electric utility industry, your rural electric cooperative remains steadfast in their mission of advocating for you, their valued member. These changes come about as the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century—the electric grid—undergoes ongoing transformation.
Safety for the New Year
This year, as you plan and strategize, Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives encourage you to keep electric safety in mind not only for you, but also for your family, workplace and community.
