Nestled along the scenic shores of Grand Lake—just an angler's cast away from the historic Pensacola Dam—the Grand River Dam Authority’s (GRDA) Ecosystems and Education Center stands as a testament to the authority's commitment to environmental stewardship and education. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in GRDA’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect the natural resources under its care. Extensive Natural Resources The GRDA oversees nearly 70,000 acres of lake water surface in Oklahoma, encompassing the vast expanses of Grand Lake, Lake Hudson, and the W.R. Holway Reservoir. Since 2016, its stewardship has also extended to the picturesque waters of the Illinois River. This extensive area is not only vital for recreational activities but also serves as an important habitat for various wildlife species. Advanced Water Quality Laboratory At the heart of the Ecosystems and Education Center is a state-of-the-art water quality laboratory. Here, GRDA's dedicated team members engage in ongoing water quality monitoring, ensuring the health and sustainability of the water resources. Regular testing and analysis enable the GRDA to maintain high standards of water quality, safeguarding both recreational users and the ecosystem. A One-Stop Resource for Lake Area Needs Beyond the laboratory, the Ecosystems and Education Center serves as a “one-stop permit shopping” location for lake area residents and visitors. Whether you are preparing to build a dock, an angler looking to schedule a tournament, or someone seeking lake-related permits for Grand Lake or Lake Hudson, the center offers the resources and assistance you need to navigate the permitting process smoothly. Community Engagement and Education One of the most significant features of the Ecosystems and Education Center is the Grand Hall, a spacious auditorium and community meeting area available for rental. This versatile space offers stunning views of Grand Lake and Pensacola Dam, making it an ideal venue for events and gatherings. Throughout much of the year, the Grand Hall also functions as a classroom for student groups. Here, learners engage in educational programs focused on various topics, including: Ecosystem Management: Understanding the delicate balance of local ecosystems. Hydroelectric Power: Exploring how the GRDA harnesses water power to generate electricity. Water and Electric Safety: Learning essential safety practices for interacting with water and electrical systems. History of the Grand River Region: Delving into the rich history and cultural significance of the area. The Grand River Dam Authority’s Ecosystems and Education Center is more than just a facility; it is a vital resource for the community, promoting education, sustainability, and responsible stewardship of Oklahoma’s natural resources. Whether you are a local resident, a visitor to the area, or a student eager to learn, the center offers invaluable services and knowledge to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of the beautiful Grand Lake region.

The official and annual reopening of Grand Lake, dubbed Welcome Back Weekend for over twenty years, The traditional Poker Run, an event that attracts nearly 400 participants in the event’s inaugural year, remains the backbone of one of the most popular off-season weekends ever unveiled on Oklahoma’s premier lake. What is Welcome Back Weekend? Welcome Back Weekend is an annual event celebrated at Grand Lake, OK. This event was started in March of 1992 by Terry Frost, the previous owner of the Cherokee Yacht Club. The weekend began with a poker run on Saturday and a showing of the hands-on Sunday. Grand Laker Terry Frost and the late Barbara Connor proposed incorporating a Chamber-sponsored “Casino Night,” which became an instant success. Welcome Back Weekend is to get you back on the lake so you can enjoy Grand Lake more of the year. The event is not just a party anymore; it has come to signify the beginning of the boating season on Grand Lake. Although Grand Lake is always open to the public... Welcome Back Weekend is the official Celebration of the coming season! [read more]

Redbuds, Dogwoods, and Bradford Pears are in full bloom, and all the other trees are pushing hard to catch up. Spring has sprung at Grand Lake. Is your boat dewinterized and serviced? Are your golf clubs clean? You’d better get ready! ***** It looked like a few thousand Grand Lake visitors had a fabulous time at the offroad area near Disney last weekend. The Big Meat Run is one of the most popular events for off-roaders to get together, have a great time, and break everything they own! It was a great party, for sure. Those with gentler souls and slower taste dotted the lake in the Grand Lake Sailing Club’s Peanut Regatta. The younger lakers were all over the lake – riding camels at Carlos Montez’ in Langley, and hanging out at the Kids Camp at The Anchor enjoying lots of activities including a petting zoo while bigger kids filled the pickleball courts, basketball courts, & Wiffle ball field. For those who prefer indoor fun, the bars were full of March Madness fans; and Saturday night was another incredible show by the nationally acclaimed “Killer Keyz” dueling piano wizards at Shangri-La. There’s something for everyone every week at Grand Lake! ***** The arrival of Spring also marks the arrival of new scams. I’ve been getting emails threatening me with serious penalties if I don’t get my EZ-Pass tolls paid. I don’t know what EZ-Pass might be (if such a thing even exists), but I traced the email to an IP address in the Philippines! CNBC reports a 900% increase in toll road text scams during the last three months. Scammers have used over 60,000 domain names. Some scams are closer to home, though. An enterprising emailer named Falisa Foster is sending emails, pretending to be a “Business Executive” offering the Grove Chamber membership list for sale. If I was going to initiate a scam hoping to raise big bucks, I think I’d shoot for a target audience a little bigger than potential buyers of the Grove Chamber of Commerce Membership list! ***** I’m sure nobody meant to let U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin’s newsletter go out like it did. It was probably a proofreading oversight but, on the other hand, it might have just been a frustrated Freudian slip. At any rate, here’s the exact quote from his most recent newsletter: “If you need anything, do not threaten to get in touch with my state and D.C. offices.” Maybe it wasn’t a slip-up. Maybe he just doesn’t want to be threatened! ***** We’ve gone too far in the anti-DEI movement. WAY too far. First off, the Department of Defense has removed the page from their website honoring the legendary Native American Code Talkers that contributed significantly to our country winning both the first and second World Wars. There are lots of other examples (including removing legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson from the list of war heroes along with lots of other African Americans) – but the ultimate came at a school in Idaho where a teacher was ordered to remove a sign that had been in her classroom for three years. Here’s what it said: “Everyone is Welcome Here.” I guess the administration disagreed. The frustrated teacher summed it up: “There’s only one alternative message – ‘everyone is NOT welcome here!’” ***** GRAND LAKE BUM SHOUT-OUTS: Happy birthday wishes go out this week to Grand Lakers Todd Kerr, Greg Brasel, Jeff Williams, Kristin McCorkle, Jerry Barnes, Mandy Cousins, Brice Long, Kathi Sikorski, Amanda Pelcher, Mikayla Callison, Bill Lopeman, Jamie Tate, Anna Pickens, Magen Faulconer, Becky Sconyers, and Diana Stephens-Webre. ***** BEST GRAND LAKE EVENTS THIS WEEK: Thursday is “Trivia Night” at both BOOM at The Regatta and Mooney’s Sunset Bar & Grill. Saturday is the awesome Annual GEFFE Gala at Shangri-La Resort (5:30). Saturday night is also “Free Movie Night” in the simulator bay at The Anchor – Captain America: Civil War (6:00). ***** RANDY KREHBIEL’S RANDOM FACTOID OF THE WEEK: Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes is “Marriage.” Title 43a is “Mental Health.” ***** FUN FACT OF THE WEEK: Actor & comedian Chevy Chase is also a musician. He was the drummer in a college band with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker called “The Leather Canary.” After Chase left the band, they changed the name to “Steely Dan.” ***** ODD FACT OF THE WEEK: Sometimes things aren’t always what they appear to be. Foxnews.com selected a photograph of a married couple to promote “traditional marriage.” Oops. The photo was actually of a same sex couple – Lila McArthur and Stephanie Figarelle from Anchorage, Alaska. ***** BEST FACEBOOK POST OF THE WEEK: If anyone has any experience with anything or knows anything about something, please let me know. ***** PALINDROME OF THE WEEK: “Ma is as selfless as I am” spelled backwards is still “Ma is as selfless as I am.” ***** BEST SIGN SEEN THIS WEEK: WARNING: Childhood vaccines cause adulthood. ***** BEST BLUESKY POST OF THE WEEK: If someone offers you a “piece of their mind,” just politely decline and insist you can’t take their last piece. ***** PUN OF THE WEEK: My cell phone accidentally took a 10-minute video of my shoes yesterday. It was some pretty good footage. ***** UNANSWERED QUESTION OF THE WEEK: I swear I saw a guy the other day that had no chin and all I could think about was, how does he put on pillow cases? ***** OBSERVATION OF THE WEEK: Don’t worry about getting older. You’re still gonna do dumb stuff…only slower. ***** QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “My coach said I run like a girl, and I said if he ran a little faster, he could, too!” – Mia Hamm ***** FEEL-OLD MOMENTS OF THE WEEK: Two-time World Heavyweight Champion and Olympic Gold Medal winning boxer George Foreman died last week. He was 76. Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid turned 67 last week. Iconic actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have been married for 35 years. ***** BEST WEEKEND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT: On Monkey Island Scott Musick performs live Friday night at The Anchor at Shangri-La. DJ Kennedy leads Rockstar Karaoke Friday night at The Monkey Bar. On South Grand Lake, Lil’ Red and Sidepiece will be at the Copper Penny in Ketchum Thursday night. Clint & Frank will be on stage Saturday night at Mooney’s Sunset Bar & Grill. Downbeat will perform Saturday night at The Drunken Rooster. In Grove, Magic J Featuring DJ Joe starts the weekend musical fun at Cherokee Casino Friday night with Tragikly White taking over Saturday night. Bobby D performs Friday night at Grand Lake Casino’s Venue 655 and TJ Scarlett takes over Saturday night. There’s karaoke every Wednesday night and DJ Laidback Larry will provide the musical entertainment Saturday night at R-Bar Dance Hall & Saloon. Tre Twitt and Tayla Lynn bring back the music of their legendary grandparents Conway Twitty and Lorretta Lynn in a sensational “Salute to Conway and Lorretta” show Thursday night at the Coleman Theatre Beautiful in Miami. Wilkie J and Tony T will entertain at Indigo Sky Casino Thursday night, followed by Downbeat Friday and the Sweet Trouble Band Saturday. The Blue Underground will perform Saturday night at Buffalo Run Casino’s Backwoods Bar and Hunter Hayes will perform Saturday night at Buffalo Run’s Peoria Showplace.
