Happy weekend, Tulsa!
In today’s happening-today edition: National anthem auditions, Dinosaur Adventure, SEC Gymnastics Championship, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Oklahoma drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

📰 In the news
Local singers take center stage: Tulsa’s Got Talent National Anthem auditions are today at Woodland Hills Mall for upcoming Tulsa Drillers games. Ten performers will be chosen, with public voting on Tulsa World — learn how voting will work.
Family fun that gives back: Tulsa will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with runs, street parties, and Bixby gatherings. Expect LEGO sculptures at the Botanic Garden, a stained glass workshop, and a six-venue tour — check out the full lineup.
Debt-free project moves forward: Cherokee Nation has boosted funding for a Claremore outpatient and emergency health center to $400 million, with completion expected in fall 2028 near Highway 66 and West Country Club Road — see how it’s funded.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Serious fry cravings: When cravings strike, Fat Guy’s Burger Bar serves Ballpark Fries, original or spicy, with a lineup of dips like malt vinegar aioli, wasabi ketchup, and Parmesan peppercorn. Excellent alongside your go-to order, or honestly, satisfying enough to star as the whole meal.
Glow without the guesswork: TOPS Medical Spa blends skilled injectors with serious skin tech, including lasers, DiamondGlow, and wrinkle-smoothing pros, to keep results refreshed, not overdone. If an effortless “I woke up like this” vibe is on your mood board this week, count on their subtle, thoughtful touch to deliver.
Dial in your lines: Whether you want a real test or to out-throw your group chat, Blackhawk delivers with 18 wooded holes in Mohawk Park, water in play, and thoughtful upkeep from TDSA. It’s also a regular host for marquee stops like Junior Worlds and the Oklahoma Open.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
