Q: Why isn’t there event held at McAlester?
Due to logistics, we are limited to four events. According to the Choctaw Nation Associate density map, there are approximately the same number of associates in the Idabow (Idabel and Broken Bow) area as in McAlester. We selected Broken Bow for one of the four events because there are fewer shopping opportunities in that region than there are in the McAlester area.
