Tulsa Post Office to Offer Pictorial Cancellation to Celebrate
Tulsarama Event June 16, 2007 Tulsa OK — On June 16, 2007, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the Tulsa Post Office will be offering a very special pictorial cancellation (postmark) as part of the year long celebration of the Oklahoma Centennial. On June 15, 1957, a new gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. The time capsule was part of Golden Jubilee Week: Tulsa's celebration of Oklahoma's semi-centennial. It is now 2007 and Oklahoma is turning 100 years old. A year-long celebration of Centennial events includes the unearthing of the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere. Tulsarama is the event planned to celebrate this historic occurrence. Envelopes, postcards, stationery or other items that a stamp and postmark can be affixed to, can be brought to the Tulsarama event at 3rd St. and Houston Ave. from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to obtain a pictorial cancellation. Oklahoma Centennial Stamps will be available for purchase as well as special cachet envelopes commemorating the Oklahoma Centennial.
