Osage County area residents,
horse owners and race horse men
gathered in the Women’s Building at
the Osage County Fairgrounds
Wednesday evening to discuss the
problems at Osage Downs.
The group formed a five-man
committee to be called the Osage
Downs Committee, to work along
with the Fair Board in overseeing
the work to be done on the track and
facility itself.
Dahl committed to
revitalization and rebirth
of Osage Downs
helping to reach the goals set down
by the Osage Downs Committee.”
The group all agreed that the top
priority will be the cleanup and
refacing of the race track itself with
dirt provided by the city of
Pawhuska, with work done by the
county, and the installation of the
new guard rail around the track in
order for race horsemen to be able to
train.
It was announced that Ed Hen-
derson, District Extension Rural
Development Program Specialist,
would attend the upcoming Fair
Board meeting to be held Monday,
October 6, at 2 p.m. in the Women’s
Building at the fairgrounds. All are

New Chamber Manager
Catching the community spirit has
lead another Pawhuskan home.
Julia Kirk assumed her new duties
of managing the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday.
Kirk, a native of Pawhuska,
decided it was time to “come home”
after a short time of living in Ft.
Smith, Arkansas.
“After living in Ft. Smith for a
while we so wanted to come
home...seeing the Chamber job
advertised in the Journal-Capital, I
thought I would apply and lo and
behold I got the job,” Kirk said.
“I’m so excited to be in a position
where I feel I can really do some
good for the community,” she said,
adding, “I would like for everyone to
stop by and just say hello and see
what the chamber has to offer."
“I’ll be out and around visiting
with the people of Pawhuska and the
merchants to find out if I can be of
any assistance.”
The Chamber office is open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday, with Pawhuska license
plates, lapel or cap pins, note pads
and the recently completed
Pawhuska brochure available.
According to Department of
Commerce representative Hampton
Anderson, the Chamber of Com-
merce is the first impression new
industry gets of your town. An-
derson told local businessmen at a
recent workshop, “The interest and
appearance your chamber manager
presents to prospective clients is
often an important impression used
for them to locate in your com-
munity.
And Julia plans to see that
Pawhuska’s best foot is put forward
in that effort. Kirk was selected
from a field of well over 30 ap-
plicants.
