With kids getting off from school for Christmas break, adults taking time off from work, and friends and family coming to town, it’s the time of year when we get to celebrate the holidays with the ones we love! There are many things to do in Tulsa during the holiday season. From Utica Square to the Aquarium, there’s an abundance of fun waiting for you and your family.
Christmas Activities in Tulsa
Utica Square
Rhema Lights Extravaganza
The Nutcracker
The Oklahoma Aquarium
Winterfest
Christmas brings family and friends together; it helps us appreciate the love in our lives we can often take for granted. May the true meaning of the holiday season fill your heart and home with many blessings.
While the heat kicks up as we enter the month of July, confinement from the outdoors is not the way to spend your summer days. In fact you should be looking for new free activities for the whole family to enjoy.
From movies to stories to food, Tulsa has a lot to offer. Our community does a great job of providing a plethora of activities made for everyone. The following list of summer fun is FREE of admission. We hope you get the chance to try out one of these events!

Summer is officially in full-swing here in the Tulsa area! We love this time of year because it’s a great time to kick back, unwind and enjoy the company of those who matter with you most!

So without further ado, here are some upcoming events that are worth checking out if you live in the Tulsa area:
Zoorassic Park: Take your kids back in time with this special showcase at the Tulsa Zoo. Zoorassic Park 2 features 26 giant displays, including 11 dinosaur species. The exhibit also features two super-sized bug displays, including a grasshopper and ladybug. It’s a fascinating exhibit for the whole family!
Warren Theatre Summer Kids Series: This series is free to the public and includes fabulous productions of such fan favorites as The Croods, Puss in Boots, How to Train Your Dragon, The Lego Movie and Turbo.
Local Farmer’s Market: Even if you’re not grocery shopping, the Wagoner Farmer’s Market is a great way to get out and meet your neighbors. The market is open every Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00pm
Confidence Camps: This summer, bring your kids to this camp series at Guts Church in Tulsa. It’s a great way to keep them busy this summer while giving them a new skill they’ll learn for their entire lives!

We are thrilled to report that our recent shredding event was a great success and we just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who came out to support us!
For those of you who might not know, we hosted a community shredding event on April 25. More than 75 people came out to support the event by bringing items they wanted shredded.
More than just a place to securely dispose of important documents, however, our event was a way to get to get more connected with the community.
After all, we also provided face painting for the kids along with child-friendly games and free refreshments.
It was wonderful getting to enjoy the great weather, hang out with our neighbors and also give back to the community at large. So thanks for everyone’s help in making the event a success.
Then please make sure to head over to our Community Events page to see if you’re in any of the pictures we took at the event.
The page also has some great information about other past events we’ve held in the region.
We here at Accent Realtors believe not only in delivering quality real estate services to the community but also making the area better as a whole. That’s why we pride ourselves on regularly hosting events like the recent shredding event.
We hope you get a chance to check out our next event. For now, if you’re interested in buying or selling real estate anytime soon in the Tulsa area, make sure to contact us at Accent Realtors. We’d be happy to assist you!
Until next time,

This holiday season there is a lot we can do to help those in need in the Tulsa, Ok area. Among the different types of charities there are a number of food drives that need our help so they can provide food for the less fortunate. There are so many different opportunities to give back to our community and giving the people who need our help most is one of the best ways to do so. This season there is an abundance of business’s who are helping to make those in need a little less hungry. Sprouts, The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, and many more are participating in some kind of way to make this happen.
Sprouts
Sprouts is giving us the opportunity to participate in their annual Grab ‘n Give holiday food drive. This event allows us to shop around the store and donate bags of groceries for a 10% discount. They then take the bags and give them to the local food bank. This is just such a great way to give back. You are already going to be at the store and all you have to do is pick up a few extra items to donate. It’s that easy, but for more information, click the link: https://www.sprouts.com/community-involvement
The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma
The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma is a food bank that is always looking for support all year round, but during this holiday season would love any extra support they can get. They provide over 335,000 extra meals to people who are hungry in Oklahoma each week. Isn’t that amazing?! During this season, every dollar you donate, the company will match it with two dollars more! Also, The Food Bank is hosting a Turkey Day Run! So come on out and help The Food Bank fight hunger on Thanksgiving! For more information about donating or the Turkey Run, click the link: http://okfoodbank.org/
1 in 6 people in Oklahoma suffer from hunger. During this Holiday Season it is important that we let our giving spirits known by doing what we can for people in need. These are great opportunities to show your care for people, but there is so much more we can do! There are over 20 places in the Tulsa area where you can find a place to donate food or other needed items. There is so much we can do to make sure that those who are on the streets or are just in need of a good meal have all they need over the holidays. It doesn’t take much to make people happy. This quote by Mario Batali says a lot, “Unlike curing cancer or heart disease, we already know how to beat hunger: food.”
Needless to say, this holiday season, make sure you reach out and help those who are in need in our community.

This Halloween it is important that everyone stays safe while they are out and about Trick or Treating. We have researched some great safety tips and have come up with these as our Top 10:
1. Before going out for the night, make sure that you talk with your family about what kind of route you plan to take when walking around the neighborhood. This will ensure a safe game plan when your out and about.
2. This is a must! Wear your most comfortable shoes! No one wants to be walking around for hours on end in high heels or sandals. Make sure you know what shoes fit you best and remember to wear them for your night of pain free fun!
3. Always make sure you have some sort of light with you. Whether it be a flashlight, or taping reflective tape to your child’s costume, make sure you have that source of light.
4.Make sure that your child’s costume fits them appropriately. Avoid wearing masks and keep the length of the costume short to avoid constantly tripping over it through out the night.
5. Always walk on the sidewalks whenever it is possible. If there is no sidewalk available then walk on the far edge of the road where you are facing traffic.
6. When you are making your crosses from street to street, always cross at the cross walk.
7. Adult supervision is a must for all kids 12 and under.
8. Never enter a house for candy.
9. Walk in well let areas of your neighborhood. It’s a lot safer considering that cars will actually be able to see you.
10. Whenever you get home make sure you look over your children’s candy and make sure there is nothing already open or home made.
We hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!
Halloween is in less than a week and we could not be more excited! There are many great aspects that come along with this fabulous holiday and many have to do with celebrating and candy. This year we are going to give you a couple non-traditional activities you and your family can as well as one very traditional event that everybody loves! I know that a lot of people think of Halloween as a holiday for spooky creatures and haunted houses, but that’s not all we found when putting together a list of fun things to do. The three great events I think you and your family will really enjoy this Holiday season are HallowZOOeen at the Tulsa Zoo, HallowMarine at the Oklahoma Aquarium, and finally, old fashioned Trick or Treating right in your own neighborhood!
HallowZOOeen
HallowZOOeen is a family friendly event that takes place at the Tulsa Zoo. This great event is a weeklong event that started Monday the 27th and ends Friday the 31st. The fun starts at 6:30 and ends at 8:30, with tickets that only cost $8. Come join the family fun with activities that include The Haunted Train and The Cross-eyed Carousel (Those are additional fees). All of these tickets are available to be purchased online. This Halloween activity is a great way to spend time with your family and feel comfortable in a safe location. For more information about HallowZOOeen click this link: www.tulsazoo.org/events/hallowzooeen/
HallowMarine
HallowMarine is a wonderful Halloween event that takes place at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks. This event also started on Monday the 27th and ends on Friday the 31st. The Aquarium will be closing at 6 from the general public and will open again at 6:30 for the Trick or Treaters. The Aquarium will close from all of the Halloween fun at 9pm. Tickets to enter the HallowMarine event very with age so make sure to check it out on the website. There will be great activities to participate in, including: Trick or Treating, a costume contest, a bounce house/slide, and much more. There is no doubt about it that this is going to be a spooktacular event. For more information about HallowMarine click this link: www.okaquarium.org/hallowmarine/
Trick or Treating
Trick or treating is among many of the Halloween traditions that originated quite some time ago. For children, now days, it’s the best part of this Holiday. The kids get to dress up in whatever they want, stay up late, and accumulate buckets and buckets of candy. Some might consider it to be the best time of the year!
