Premier Tulsa moving company-918-621-1102

You have finally finished herding all of your moving boxes into their designated rooms, unpacked all of their contents, decorated and redecorated each room at least five times, and finished cleaning up the mess from your subsequent decorating indecision. As a result, your local Tulsa movers have decided that you and your whole family deserve a break, don’t you agree?

Well what do you know, All My Sons Moving and Storage has the perfect suggestion for a fun-filled day with the family. On August 29^th, the Tulsa Friends & Family Fun Fest will open its doors from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at O’Brien Park. Guaranteed to immediately make the whole family happy that they moved to Tulsa (not that they weren’t already!), the Tulsa Friends & Family Fest has activities galore, for every age.

Do you want to know a great way to make friends in your new Tulsa neighborhood? Just invite everyone to come to the Friends & Family Fun Fest and offer to pick up the tab for everyone’s tickets. Hey, they don’t have to know that the event is completely free!

Once there, many Oklahoma moving companies confirm that it is nearly impossible to decide which activity to take part in first – there are so many to choose from! Some of the outdoor activities include: baseball, basketball, fishing, swimming, Tai Chi and Zumba classes. Once you are done trying your hand at some of the local Tulsa sports, make your way over to the arts & crafts table, or play a riveting game of Bingo with the whole family.

Regardless of what activity you decide to dive into first, your Tulsa movers assure that the opportunity for fun is endless at the Tulsa Friends & Family Fest.

For those who are finishing unpacking the last of their boxes that their Tulsa movers helped move into their new home, there is a special event to look forward to this year.

This upcoming September 5^th, the Postoak Wine & Jazz Festival will make its way back to Tulsa for a day and night filled with downtown jazz, delicious wine and mouth-watering eats. The best part about this event? Tickets are free for anyone who is 17 years old or younger! For those families with children, this is the perfect place to bring kids of all ages, without having to break the bank after your move to Tulsa.

The Postoak Wine & Jazz Festival prides itself on boosting economic development within the community. This inaugural arts event improves Tulsa’s cultural landscape, supports student and professional musicians, as well as creates a meeting place for Tulsa foodies to meet and eat. You just might catch your friendly Tulsa movers there as well!

Open to all students from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., there is also a Jazz Workshop featuring professional jazz musicians. If you have an aspiring musician in your family, chances are they will be wishing that you had decided to move to Tulsa earlier!

A couple things to remember before you head on over to the Postoak Wine & Jazz Festival:

• This is an outdoor festival, so make sure to bring blankets, hats, lawn chairs and plenty of sunscreen.
• Musicians will be playing throughout the day, so double check the schedule so you can make sure that you do not miss one of your favorite jazz artists.
• Don’t forget to bring your appetite, the current food vendor list already has five restaurants and counting!

In an event that began last Thursday and carries on until Friday, the Pony of the Americas Club National Congress is here in Tulsa. In total, Tulsa’s horse shows add about $80 million in economic revenue every year, which is something that Tulsa moving companies are excited about, hoping that it will move more people into Tulsa permanently. More specifically, the Pony of the Americas Club National Congress adds close to $1 million to the city’s economy on a yearly basis.

According to Ray Hoyt, vice president of Visit Tulsa and the Tulsa Sports Commission, “exhibitors descend on Tulsa from all over the nation, making the trip a vacation as well as attending the show.” The second year the Pony of the Americas organization held its annual congress in Tulsa, the show had drawn in over 3,000 entries and more than 300 ponies to Expo Square.

Joyse Banister, CEO of Pony of the Americas, shared that, “we make a major impact, not only with the facility at the fairgrounds but also in restaurants and hotels in the Tulsa community, who in return is very good back to us.” Since most exhibitors in the Pony of the Americas events are on the younger side, Banister believes that “it’s quite addictive and is a great organization to raise children in because they get to meet friends from all over the country.”

If you just recently had your local Tulsa movers drop you and your family off at your new home and you want to see what the local Tulsa horseback riding community is all about, the Pony of the Americas Club National Congress is a great way to do that – after all, it’s free!

Recently, the National Register of Historic Places has added new properties – including one 1925 Tulsa apartment. In fact, four Oklahoma properties have been added to the register, including the Elizabeth Manor apartment in Tulsa, the C.A. Comer House in Dewey, the Hays-Kennedy/Rivoli Theater in downtown Blackwell and the Czech Hall of Oklahoma City.

In order for a property to be added to the National Register of Historic Places, a property must meet the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. This includes analyzing the property’s age, integrity and significance. A property must be at least 50 years old in order to even be considered historic, and it must look similar to how it did in the past. Along with that, the property in question must have been important relative to events that happened in the past, or associated with the lives of people who were important in the past.

Described as Late Gothic Revival/Collegiate Gothic-style structure, the Elizabeth Manor is a three-story building near Veterans Park. According to the Tulsa Preservation Commission, “Elizabeth Manor is an excellent representation of the apartment house construction boom in Tulsa during the 1920s.”

Nonetheless, those history buffs planning on using Tulsa movers to relocate to Oklahoma in the near future have much reason to celebrate. Not only does being listed on the National Register provide recognition, but it also offers protection that will help preserve the building from potentially being destroyed in order to build new buildings on top of it.

One of Tulsa’s premier art, sports and entertainment venues, BOK Center, has hosted some of Tulsa’s premier events since 2008. This 19,199 seat stadium hosts major concerts, family shows, other world class entertainment, along with the WNBA Tulsa Shock and the CHL Tulsa Oilers games.

Not only is the BOK Center a fantastic place to get to know the city better after Tulsa movers finish moving in you and your family, but it has endless amounts of events that will keep your family entertained all summer long. This Tulsa center even has fun events that the whole family can participate in, which will help your kids make new friends in their new home.

One of the events that the entire family can participate in, includes Dodge Brawl. This one-day dodge ball tournament allows teams to play for a charity/non-profit of their choice – the winning team’s charity receives a financial donation on behalf of the tournament.

Moreover, there are other summer events that Tulsa movers have been recommending to the families for after they get settled in. On top of the multiple sports events, there are music events such as Fall Out Boy on July 22^nd and Air1 Positive Hits Tour on September 3^rd. If your family is feeling particularly adventurous, then make sure to check out Wingapalooza 2015 on August 8^th. This one-of-a-kind event features 25 Tulsa-area restaurants that showcase their wing preparation style. We bet you won’t be able to find an event like that anywhere else!

A two-day, non-profit music and arts festival in downtown Tulsa, the Center of the Universe Festival features more than 100 bands throughout numerous outdoor stages and club venues. Aside from fantastic live music, you will also be able to enjoy a local street market, rows of food trucks, and the countless amounts of bars that line the street of the festival.

The event has grown to be such a staple of the city throughout the past couple of years that Tulsa movers recommend that one of the first things that new residents should do is to check out the annual Center of the Universe Festival. The best part about the festival? It is completely non-profit, so all of the proceeds from the tickets will go back towards the city. A portion of the festival proceeds goes towards the Tulsa Public Schools’ music program and to the trolly service.

Even co-founders Phil Kaiser and Chris Lieberman are volunteers. Lieberman shares that “unless it’s a production crew, everybody is a volunteer. Phil and I, all 30 people who work on this year-round, they’re all volunteers. We’re volunteering to do this because we know it’s important to Tulsa’s music scene.” Performers include Panic! At the Disco, Three Days Grace, American Authors, Kongos, Minus the Bear and Misterwives.

Needless to say, the Center of the Universe Festival is the perfect activity to take your whole family to once your local Tulsa movers have finished moving you and your whole family into your new home.

If you are moving your family to Tulsa, Oklahoma this summer, Tulsa movers have a great summer idea for your children to allow them to have fun in their new city – enroll them in summer camps! Enrolling your children in a summer camp in Tulsa will help them make friends and adjust to their new surroundings before the school year begins. Try sending them to a summer camp that offers activities they like or can relate to. They will also be more likely to bond friendships with kids whom they have common interests with, who are in the same upcoming grade.

YMCA of Greater Tulsa

This summer camp offers three different day camps and one overnight camp. At any of the three day camps, kids will have the opportunity to swim, play team sports, learn how to fish, practice archery and go on field trips. Overnight campers get to experience outdoor activities that span the YMCA’s 420-acre site.

Brain Balance Achievement Center

This brain-based program helps kids ages 4-17, reach their potential academically, socially and behaviorally. If you are moving to Tulsa and you believe your child has a neurobehavioral issue, Brain Balance Achievement Center will use cognitive training, nutritional guidance, and sensory motor exercises to address it.

Camp Raven at Riverfield Country Day School

Once your Tulsa movers have settled you into your new home, think about sending your kids to Camp Raven, where they have the opportunity to explore 120-acres of wooded terrain. This camp hosts activities; such as: hiking, cooking, rock climbing, river rafting, song writing and sports.

Brook Fine Arts Musical Theatre

If your child is interested in music and theater, send them to this camp! They will have the chance to learn singing, acting and dancing from professional instructors and put on a show for their parents and loved ones at camp’s end.

Have you recently moved to Tulsa and are wondering what flowers to plant to ramp up your curb-appeal? Check out this list of flowers that are easy to grow in the environmental conditions of Tulsa that will make the outside of your home look beautiful.

1. Irises – Although they do not bloom for long, irises will have a charming effect on your home when they do. Their stems are tall and their vibrant petals are slightly ruffled at the edges.
2. Roses – Many may think roses can be difficult, but they can actually do very well in Tulsa’s climate. Try a smaller-sized rose collection and place it on the outer portions of your garden, so that they don’t get lost behind anything that blooms larger.
3. Daylilies – These flowers are extremely easy to grow if you give the proper amount of water, fertilizer and sun. It’s actually pretty much a guarantee. However, make sure that you maintain them. These flowers are known to spider out six feet or more in a short period of time.
4. Garden Phlox – If you are looking for something with smaller, more abundant bulbs, try planting garden phlox. This flower is known to tolerate all kinds of Tulsa, Oklahoma weather.
5. Sunflowers – Once you have moved to Tulsa, plant these beauties as seeds and watch their stems grow tall and their flowers shine bright. They are not named sunflowers for nothing!

Tulsa movers wish you good luck in planting your first garden at your new home!

If you have had a previous roach or bug infestation problem in your home, make sure you follow the following steps to ensure that you experience a bug free move to Tulsa. It is safe to say that you probably don’t want any unsuspected visitors coming into your new home and making your move to Tulsa unpleasant.

1. Wash all clothes before packing them- clothes that have sat in drawers for a long period time are places that can easily hide bugs. If you don’t have time to wash everything, make sure you are inspecting each piece of clothing before putting it in a moving box.
2. Inspect all furniture – If a piece of furniture has cushions, make sure you remove them and check all angles. Bugs are likely to seek refuge in tight spaces like the cushion cracks of a couch.
3. Carefully look over appliances – Roaches and bugs alike, hide out in electronics and appliances that can’t be opened. It’s probably best you get rid of such items before you move to Tulsa.
4. Leave behind any plants that lived indoors- If you have previously experienced a roach or bug infestation, leave potted indoor plants in the past. Bugs hide in warm dirt and may reappear in your new Tulsa home.
5. Use new moving boxes from your Tulsa moving company – New boxes are easy to inspect and will not be infected with anything. They also signify a clean, fresh start before you even move out of your old home.
