Express Employment Professionals, Devon Energy and Downtown OKC recently announced their support as the first sponsors of the grand opening celebration at Scissortail Park.
“We’re excited to support Scissortail Park as the Family Night sponsor,” said Bill Stoller, CEO of Express. “The park is an amazing addition to downtown Oklahoma City and serves as a beautiful outdoor venue for a wide range of activities that Oklahomans and visitors will enjoy for generations to come.”
Construction on the north 36 acres of Scissortail Park is scheduled to be completed later this summer with a four-day grand opening celebration tentatively set for the end of September.
“We’re very thankful that Express, Devon and Downtown OKC Partnership have taken the lead as sponsors of the grand opening celebration at the park,” said Maureen Heffernan, CEO of Scissortail Park. “This type of support will help us deliver an exciting weekend of activities and programming as we introduce Scissortail Park to the community that paid for it through the penny sales tax.”
Grand opening sponsorships will help support a variety of programming planned for the weekend, including concerts and activities throughout the entire park. “We’re very proud to be part of the core to shore development, and Scissortail Park will certainly be a beautiful centerpiece,” said Christina Rehkop, Director of Community Relations at Devon Energy.
