Get a Planner’s Perspective
Don’t just take our word for it, hear what these planners had to say.
“If the community doesn’t come out and support (the World Series), it doesn’t stay here. They do a fantastic job. Whenever the players and the coaches leave out of here, they’re talking just as much about (Enid) and the people here as they are about the tournament itself. I think that goes a long way toward making this a special event.”
