Title: Tulsa; Building a World Around You. 1978
Post by: Townsend on June 05, 2012, 11:06:00 AM
Borrowed from This Land Press tweet:



QuoteColor film footage is a "25th anniversary presentation by the Utica National Bank and Trust Company to the citizens of Tulsa through the Metropolitan Tulsa Chamber of Commerce". The film's theme of celebration is made through lively original music and and a myriad of scenes which depict Tulsa as a city with a lot to offer its citizens, especially in the form of cultural facilities and events, family recreation, sports events, music, fine and casual dining, shopping and opportunities for personal and
community growth.

Could they have picked creepier music for the first three or so minutes?

Whew! 

Most of the companies highlighted are no longer around.  And you can certainly tell it is a Chamber of Commerce thing.  It would probably be about the same if they did one today.  Maybe sync the sound a little better....

Too bad they do not have the KRMG raft race anymore.   That was a great event.
