RV There Yet? Continued from Page 12


Pete Madison, owner of Tulsa RV Ranch and East Central Oklahoma Electric Cooperative member, has owned an RV for two and a half years. “Freedom to travel around this country is a beautiful thing,” Madison said. “I’ve been around the world twice, and I can tell you there are as many beauti- ful things to see here as you can anywhere else.”


His Tulsa RV Ranch offers a 100-acre RV park complete with full hook ups, a general and camping store, a workout facility and meeting rooms. Next to the RV park, the ranch also boasts a motor cross track and a ¾-mile horse training track.


The park is almost finished with construction on a family restaurant and a covered arena that will hold 4,000 spectators. “It’s an RV park that just kept growing,” Madison said. Madison said he has owned the land for quite a few years, but when the economy took a dip they held off on building.


“Now that the economy is picking back up a little bit, people are loosening up and hitting the road,” Madison said. The ranch owner said he believes RV traveling is becoming a nationwide trend, and doesn’t feel like the RV business is suffering. Quite the opposite, he says used RVs are hard to find because there are so few trade-ins. “We’ve only opened it six months and we already have 35 spots occupied

right now and we’re almost totally booked for upcoming events,” Madison said.


The ranch is hosting a chuck wagon race on April 27 and is expecting about 15,000 people to come for the event. Next month, the ranch will offer a na- tional chili cook-off to benefit wounded veterans and several professional ro- deo competitions for the public to enjoy.

For years, the tobacco industry has promoted a richer, more glamorous life through smoking. Big Tobacco uses cool DJs, hot girls and strong cowboys to hook our young people on a product that kills 1-in-3 smokers. Sadly, Big Tobacco recruits 5,000 Oklahoma kids as “replacement smokers” every year.
