TenkillerProperty.com LLC, a leading real estate brokerage firm on Lake Tenkiller, located in Eastern Oklahoma, was recognized number 91 in Entrepreneur magazine's annual "HOT 100" listing of America's top fast-growth businesses and the entrepreneurs who built them. In its May 2008 issue, Entrepreneur compiled this list with the help of research provider CentrisPoint and its database of 21 million U.S. businesses. Of the nearly 21 million companies on the preliminary list, only 0.3% made the first cut, and just a fraction of those made it to the Hot 100, including TenkillerProperty.com |

written by Betty Wilhite One of our favorite things to do for off-of-the lake entertainment during the summer is to head to Tahlequah and take in a musical show. NSU's River City Music Show and Downtown Country provide musical entertainment from country to rock n roll to jukebox hits. With singing and dancing, accompanied by talented musicians, you'll find your toes tapping and your hands clapping. Downtown Country is consistently our favorite with country hits of the past and present. We especially enjoyed a new addition to the program this year, a comedian, Montana Camp. Montana is a senior at Keys High School and is truly a humorous delight with his youthful antics and originality. |

With four shows to choose from you'll find some great summer entertainment for all ages. Call 918-458- 2075 to make your reservations. Clcik here for the website
