Convoy of Historic Military Vehicles stopping in Checotah
By LaDonna Rhodes Staff Writer

A convoy of historic military vehicles will be stopping in Checotah, Thursday, Oct. 17 around 9:45 a.m. at 207 N. Broadway Members of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association-HA are convoying 2,500 miles on the Jefferson Highway, from Pines to Palms.

The City of Checotah hopes the community will come out to welcome them. There will be a sign unveiling at the original City Hall building then the convoy will be parking in Sharpe’s parking lot for only a short time.

“We are hoping for a huge welcome for them from Checotah,” Jefferson Highway Oklahoma Chapter President, Delaina Stevens said. “It’s a big deal for them to be stopping in Checotah as we are only one out of eight planned stops. Please plan to be a little early to not miss them since they will only be able to stop for approximately 15 minutes due to such tight scheduling.”

You can find the convoy on map link at http://www.aprs.fi/k3arl-ll or on Facebook at MVPA Historic Convoys.
