A private screening party was held from 7 to 9 p.m. to celebrate the premiere of Hugo’s 2009 PRCA Rodeo on an episode of Women’s Pro Rodeo Today on RFD-TV. Community leaders and PRCA Rodeo Committee members gathered in the Frisco Depot RV Park Hospitality House where they enjoyed a dinner of chili, chips and fresh salad and various cakes and desserts sponsored by the Hugo Chamber of Commerce. Footage was shown on a 60-inch television and at 8:30 p.m. everyone watched the first fully edited episode on TV.
County Economic Developer David Hinkle led the evening by showing clips from the more than 24 hours of interviews and footage made by RFD-TV while they were in Hugo for the June 2009 rodeo and homecoming event.
“Every interview was good all the way through,” Hinkle said. Read the full article by subscribing to the Online Edition at: http://www.hugonews.com/transitionHDN.html |

HUGO — The Choctaw Housing Authority has received notification they will receive $8.6 million of stimulus money to build an additional 72 Independent Living Homes for senior citizens in five sites across southeastern Oklahoma. A large portion of that amount, $4.6 million, was awarded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act formula, and the other $4 million was awarded competitively. Only 61 of the 436 tribes who applied received any of those competitive grant funds.
Deputy Director of the Choctaw Housing Authority Duane Winship said the success of receiving the funding from the stimulus package was largely due to the foresight of Chief Gregory E. Pyle and the Tribal Council. Get the full story by subscribing to the Online Edition: http://www.hugonews.com/transitionHDN.html |
