Tourism director speaks to Diamond 'K' members

Jennifer Quidas, tourism director for Pontotoc County, spoke to members of Diamond 'K" Kiwanis Club at their Oct. 6 meeting.

She is from Maryland, has a degree in agriculture communications from Oklahoma State University, and has been in Ada for six months. Her office is located in the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce. Her mission is to promote tourism in all of Pontotoc County and to increase use of the agri-plex.

She said Pontotoc County does not have the typical tourist draws but she wants to emphasize the unusual things that small communities and a rural county do have. For instance, the county has shopping, golf courses, restaurants and cafes with a local flair, art galleries, East Central University, Wintersmith Park, McSwain Theatre, Hallie Brown Fine Arts Center, and Chickasaw Nation.

The county has seven sites listed on the Historical Register: Ada Public Library, Bebee Field Round House, East Central State Normal School, Mijo Camp Industrial District, Pontotoc County Courthouse, Roff Armory, Sugg Clinic, and Wintersmith Park Historic District.

The Ada Air Expo was the largest air show in the state this year. Pure Prairie Creamery, the only goat cheese producing creamery in the state, is located in Ada.

Phone Quidas at the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce (332-2506) to inform her of events or areas to promote.

President Dan Zimmerman chaired the meeting and Elvin Jaquess said prayer. Marlene Green introduced the speaker.
