All aboard! Today we are heading to Muskogee for the Polar Express Pajama Party. The Historic Roxy Theater and the Three Rivers Museum are teaming up to take you on a magical Christmas adventure and we have Angie Rush, the director of the Three Rivers Museum to tell us all about it. The Polar Express Pajama Party in Muskogee is an exciting event that welcomes guests to the Roxy Theater where they will receive their golden ticket. While watching the Polar Express on-screen, Santa's elves will deliver hot chocolate served in a souvenir mug, cookies and a bag of popcorn. After the movie, you'll be transported over to the North Pole (Three Rivers Museum) for a photo opp with Santa, who will hand out special gifts to all. Muskogee's Historic Roxy Theater. Originally opened in 1948 as a movie theater, the Roxy re-opened as a multi-purpose venue. Seating 300 people, the Roxy is a showcase for local talent as well as professional touring acts. The Three Rivers Museum is dedicated to presenting the multi-ethnic history and heritage of the American frontier in the Three Rivers area in eastern Oklahoma where the Arkansas, Grand and Verdigris Rivers meet. The museum is located in the restored Midland Valley Depot in Muskogee. Muskogee has always been a crossroads of cultures thanks to the three rivers that converge here. What began as a trading post became a destination for Native Americans who survived the Trail of Tears. Then, on Christmas Day in 1871, a General Grant steam locomotive puffed its way across the Arkansas River and Muskogee exploded.

On today's episode of the Only in OK Show, we discuss The World’s Highest Hill in Poteau, OK. The World’s Highest Hill also known as Cavanal Hill is boasted as the world's highest hill at 1,999 ft above the surrounding terrain. Cavanal Hill derives its name from the French word meaning "cave," and was a famous landmark for the French and Native Americans over 150 years ago. Today, Cavanal Hill is the site of five mile runs, mountain bike races and the famous Cavanal Hill Killer 5-Mile Walk. Travel up four and a half miles of blacktopped road to the top and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Poteau River valley and surrounding areas. Enjoy gazing at the stars from atop the hill, enjoy a picnic under the newly remodeled pavilion, or have your photo taken by the famous Cavanal Hill Rock. On a clear day, visitors can see Mt. Magazine in Arkansas. Poteau was located in Sugar Loaf County, a part of the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation. It was incorporated as a town in the Indian Territory by the federal government on October 8, 1898. The first stone public building, a school, was built in the same year.
