As this month’s cover shows, Spring 2014 is
underway and this amazing explosion of color is
happening now at Hafer Park! After the harsh winter
we had, all of the color around town is welcome.
Since last issue, events have been planned and we
can’t wait to bring you coverage! The Libertyfest events
are firming up as well as the Edmond Arts Festival.
In 2010, I wrote an online column wishing out loud
that the board of the Arts Festival would invite more
artists from around Oklahoma. Last year, the event was
amazing and I couldn’t stop but linger at every booth.
Every single booth was an artist from somewhere in
Oklahoma and it made me so proud that Edmond is
showcasing all that is artistic in our state! You can visit
this awesome event in Downtown Edmond from May
3-5 and bring all your friends and family for some fun!
This month we covered the 14th Annual APPA
Lineman’s Rodeo at Mitch Park and it was really
unique. Every year this national event is held in a
different city so we all got a glimpse into a really cool
competition. And for those who asked, the poles at
Mitch Park are only temporary.
In My Home, we offer a fix every one with a
whirlpool tub will appreciate for cleaning out your jets,
in Field Trip we went to the Oklahoma City Zoo, and
as we have for the last 4 years, we bring you colors of
Spring at Hafer Park!
Next month, we’ll unveil our first winners of the
2014 EA Readers Choice Polls. There were over 1,924
votes and we had one tie. Thanks to all of you who
nominated your favorites an then voted for, shared and
supported your favorite local Edmond & Edmond area
businesses. We can’t wait to bring you more about all
22 winners.
And lastly, as we do every month, we shared some
of the Instagram photos we took around Edmond in
March, and we hope you enjoy them. We’ll also be
restarting our calendar in the May issue due out the first
week of May, so keep your eye out for area events.
Thanks again for taking the time each issue to pick
up Edmond Active Magazine, visit online, participating
in our first ever Edmond’s Choice ballots and engaging
with us at Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You
inspire me daily, and I’m really looking forward to
Summer 2014!
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you Around Edmond!

Edmond Style
Birch Box Finds
Eyeko Mascara
The mascara itself was not bad and lasted for about 7 hours, however this unique brush made every angle of application smooth, effortless, and without spidering or clumping.
This little brush made the annual subscription worth it completely. $19 at www.Birchbox.com for a full size
mascara tube.
Birch Box Finds
Ruffian Nail Lacquer
In comparison to more affordable drug store nail polish, this particular brand did not stand up in the coverage department nor in staying power. Was a nice addition to the Birch box as a pop of color, but I wouldn’t buy the full size for $10.

If you were wondering what all those power pole were doing in the soccer fields of
Mitch Park, well, wonder no more. They were erected for the 14th Annual National
Lineworkers Rodeo.
According to the APPA website, The Lineworkers Rodeo was “Established in 2001 by
the American Public Power Association (APPA), the Public Power Lineworkers Rodeo
is where public power lineworkers come together from all over the United States and
some U.S. territories to demonstrate their skill and knowledge in the craft of linework.
At the Rodeo, journeyman and apprentice lineworkers can compete for professional
recognition, attend training courses and practice essential skills in a safe environment.
Furthermore, attendees will have a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from
the nationwide community of lineworker professionals.”
You really have to hand it to these guys, especially our Lineworkers at Edmond
Electric. They are the ones risking their lives during snow and ice storms to turn our
power back on. The are the first responders in getting things back to normal when
tornado’s take out our powerlines. Their job isn’t easy and it’s quite dangerous. As
witnessed at the National Lineworkers Rodeo, these professionals are very skilled at
what they do.

How To Safely and Effectively Clean Your Jetted Bathtub Jets
This is a thing for anyone with a jetted
bathtub. Rich, poor, small or large,
everyone who owns a home or rents with
one of these amazing appliances has had
the issue of little black flecks, and even
if they are clean freaks. I went without
running my jets (or cleaning them) for
the last 6 months, and after our home
inspection last week, it is apparent that is
not a great idea.
I got my advice on cleaning them 12
years ago from Kohler.com. It works every
time, as my jets were laden with mildew
once run, but after cleaning them with the
items listed below, the water now runs
clearly through the jets of my whirlpool
tub. And it’s entirely possible I have the
cleanest tub in all of North America!
Use Cascade dishwasher detergent
with 20 oz of liquid chlorine bleach, pour
directly into the intake of the whirlpool
with the tub full of hot water 2 inches
above the jets and run the jets for 15 mins.
to an hour. Then drain and rinse the tub and
rinse the system with cold water running
the jets for another 10 mins. Depending on
the severity of the mildew you are facing,
you may have to repeat several times.
