Program
Jeff Mayo of the Sequoyah County Times reviewed the history of business in Sallisaw, from 1888 to the present. At the conclusion of the presentation he asked, “What’s next?” He asked the chamber members what they would like to see in Sallisaw’s future. Mayo said he would like to see the development of the Blue Ribbon Downs property by the present owner, the Cherokee Nation, into a tourist destination.
