Tulip planting day is almost here, Argenta! 🌷

Our annual tulip planting is happening November 8, and our amazing volunteers will be out along the roads helping add a little extra color to our neighborhood!

So if you spot our crew planting tulips, give us a wave, a smile, and a little honk! We love a little community encouragement while we get our hands dirty.

Come spring, all those little bulbs will turn into thousands of blooms, and we can’t wait to see Argenta come alive with color again!

Thanks for helping us keep Argenta beautiful, one tulip at a time.

📍 Location: Birdie’s Cabaret Theater & Lounge

Supporting local moments means showing up for the community. 💛

As part of our Argenta Partners campaign, we’re highlighting Centennial Bank and the role they play in supporting community events in Argenta.

We spoke with Kim Pruitt about why being part of events like Argenta Vibe matters to Centennial Bank. For them, it’s a chance to give back to the communities they serve while creating opportunities to connect with customers and neighbors in a fun, relaxed setting.

That kind of support helps make local events feel more connected, welcoming, and community-driven.

🎥 Hear from Kim about why Centennial Bank believes in showing up for Argenta.

Thank you, Centennial Bank, for being part of the moments that bring our community together.

A STORY OF SURVIVAL, COURAGE, AND THE POWER OF FILM

Join us in Argenta on Sunday, November 8, for a special screening of Will I Dance Again?, an award-winning animated short film based on the true story of Daina Bradley, a survivor of the Oklahoma City bombing.

After seeing this incredible film at this year’s FilmLand, we’re excited to share an opportunity for our community to experience it, too. Daina will be joining the screening as a special guest, alongside director Princella Smith, for a meaningful opportunity to hear more about the story behind the film.

✨ Want to meet the director and Daina? A VIP meet-and-greet option is available at 4 PM.

Where: Birdie's Cabaret Theater & Lounge
When: Sunday, November 8
Tickets and event details: Get your tickets here

Film has a way of bringing us closer to stories we may never have experienced ourselves. We hope you’ll join us for this special afternoon in Argenta.
