| Oil Heritage festival may only officially be four jam-packed days in July, but the city extends the spirit of the community event out for days in advance. Five days before July 20, the festival's first day the Flex Bike 'n Brew gets bike riders into town to enjoy some fun on the trails and tap it off with a party featuring plenty of beers to try and chat about. Also starting Saturday is the annual Hop Homan and Chops Cunningham Memorial softball tournament. At one point this event was so popular it was difficult finding a spot to sit and watch the games. |  |
