145-Acre Private Retreat and Estate Auction Offers Rare Opportunity in Northeast Oklahoma

Those searching for a unique combination of country living, recreational land, and investment potential will want to mark their calendars for an upcoming estate auction featuring a remarkable 145-acre private retreat in Rose, Oklahoma. Hosted by Chupps Auction & Real Estate, the auction is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, 2026, with onsite and online bidding available.

Situated conveniently between Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas with easy access to the Cherokee Turnpike, the retreat provides an ideal setting for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle without sacrificing accessibility.

A sunroom and outdoor patio provide scenic spaces to relax and enjoy the views, while a dedicated beauty shop addition with a separate exterior entrance offers flexibility for a home business, studio, or guest accommodations.

The land is fenced and combines open pasture with wooded terrain, creating opportunities for a variety of agricultural and outdoor pursuits.

The real estate is scheduled to sell at 12:01 p.m. on June 25, while equipment and personal property auctions will run throughout the day with two auction rings operating simultaneously.

For buyers looking for a scenic rural retreat, recreational property, or a well-equipped homestead with exceptional amenities, this upcoming auction presents an opportunity that rarely comes available in today's market.

The June Edition of The Kitchen Sink

  

                         

 H appy June! Friends, normally around this time I am talking about camping and getting ready to relax. Well not this year! America is having a big birthday! I know we don’t ask ladies their age, but this is the exception. She is turning 250 years old! She doesn’t look like a day over 100! There are going to be tons of parties and community activities, so much fun to be had! I can’t wait! If you don’t normally host or have plans on the 4th, may I suggest, looking to see if your community needs volunteers for their shindigs. Many hands make light work for events.  Now if you are hosting a party, you need to get a jump on it. It will be here before you know it. Here are my favorite tips and tricks for an outdoor party. 

First, I like to plan enough things to keep kids and husbands busy. Planting the husband on the grill generally works. Depending on the age range of the kids, glow sticks, bubbles, chalk, water guns, sprinklers, equal fun and busy for kids. If you do bubbles or water toys you really want to make a refill station it will save you from the “help me” kids and let them be independent. I might suggest having a make your own snack station, our go to is smores. Anything that simple, is always a win.  

I like to make sure I have a schedule, or good guess for timing so everything can run smooth. I know with fireworks you really have no control of the timing there, but if you know how long the wait is you can keep the kids busy. Adults always just chit-chat and that’s enough entertainment for them. Thankfully. 

As far as table and serving. I love real dishes, but when it comes to outside parties, I buy paper and plastic, especially since we know the 4th will be a late-late night for everyone. So, throw away, really is the best way to be kind to yourself. Make sure you also keep everyone hydrated and lots of shade; Oklahoma heat is already heating up so lots of water and electrolytes to keep everyone going. No one wants to be dehydrated or have heat exhaustion. (A gentle reminder: just because it’s in the evening or dark doesn’t mean a person can’t get dehydrated or experience heat exhaustion.) 

 Here’s a list of dehydration symptoms to be on the lookout for.  

Thirst: Your body’s natural signal that it needs water. 

Urine Color: Dark yellow or amber-colored pee. 

Dryness: Dry or sticky mouth, chapped lips, and dry eyes. 

Decreased Output: Urinating less frequently than usual. 

Physical Discomfort: Mild headaches, muscle cramps, or general fatigue 

Warning Signs of Heat Exhaustion 

Watch out for the following symptoms, which typically appear quickly: 

Skin: Heavy sweating, pale, cool, or clammy skin 

Nervous System: Dizziness, lightheadedness, or brief fainting 

Digestive: Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite 

Physical: Weakness, fatigue, headache, or muscle cramps in the legs, arms, or stomach 

Vitals: Fast, weak pulse and rapid or shallow breathing 

Other: Intense thirst or decreased urine output 

 Immediate First Aid  

If you or someone else exhibits these symptoms, take rapid action to prevent it from progressing into heat stroke: 

Move to a cooler place: Get to an air-conditioned area or seek deep shade. 

Cool the body: Loosen or remove unnecessary clothing. Apply cool, wet cloths to the skin, or take a cool shower. 

Hydrate: Sip cold water, clear broth, or an electrolyte-rich sports drink. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine. 

Rest: Lie down and elevate your feet slightly. 

Most importantly, have a good time! The world is crazy right now, and it feels like it is getting crazier each day. We all deserve to let our hair down. Have some good ol fun and celebrate our America! 

Happy Cleaning

 Advertising Is Changing Across Oklahoma

By Anesa K. Chastain Jones - Advertising Insights with Anesa

Across Oklahoma, the local media landscape continues to evolve.

Many community newspapers that once operated full-time offices and printed multiple editions each week are adapting to changing consumer habits, rising costs, and the growing demand for digital content. Some publications have reduced office hours, while others have scaled back print schedules or shifted portions of their content online.

For businesses, these changes present both challenges and opportunities.  The way consumers access information today is dramatically different than it was even a decade ago. While traditional advertising still plays an important role, customers now discover businesses through a variety of channels including websites, social media, mobile devices, digital publications, online searches, email marketing, and video content.  As a result, businesses are finding that a single advertising platform is rarely enough to consistently reach potential customers.

According to industry studies, consumers often need multiple interactions with a business before making a purchasing decision. A customer may first discover a company through social media, later visit its website, see an advertisement in a digital publication, and ultimately make contact after seeing the business repeatedly over time.

This shift has changed the way successful companies approach advertising.  Instead of relying on one form of media, many businesses are focusing on visibility across multiple platforms. The goal is no longer simply to place an ad. The goal is to remain visible wherever potential customers spend their time.

At Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly, that philosophy has driven growth and innovation in recent years.

In addition to its weekly digital edition, Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly offers website advertising, social media promotion, blog content, mobile app visibility, and interactive advertising experiences designed to help businesses connect with consumers in meaningful ways. Advertisers can even incorporate video directly into their advertisements, creating a more engaging experience for readers.

The publication’s mobile app provides another avenue for businesses to remain accessible to consumers, while its digital edition allows advertisers to reach readers regardless of geographic location.

As consumer behavior continues to evolve, businesses that adapt alongside those changes are often the ones best positioned for long-term success.

The reality is that advertising is no longer about choosing between print and digital. It is about creating a consistent presence across the platforms where customers spend their time.

Media may be changing, but the need for businesses to connect with customers remains as important as ever.

For businesses looking to grow, the question is not whether advertising has changed. The question is whether their advertising strategy is evolving with it.
