The Club’s distinguished and honored members will be the special guests at the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club’s annual “Old-Fashioned Picnic” on Saturday, May 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch near Oologah. The club was founded in 1899, in Oowala, Indian Territory, Cooweescoowee District, of what is now known as the Cherokee Nation Reservation. Community picnics were the social gatherings of that era. The club continues to honor these traditions, as “We are the caretakers of our culture, our heritage, and our communities.”
This event is FREE and open to the public. Gates open at 9 a.m.
