MICKEY MANTLE MEMORIAL... The Area's Most Impressive Collection Of Commerce Comet Memorabilia...
Mickey Mantle was a familiar face in the Grand Lake area, and local advertising executive Terry G. Hembree became aquainted with the legend years ago doing marketing and advertising for the baseball great's Celebrity Golf Tournamnets.
After the passing of Mickey, Hembree thought it appropriate to dedicate a wall in the family business "Hollywood At Home Video Super Store" located at 536 West Third in the old Farrier's Shopping Center in Grove.
Hembree had been constantly pestered with customers and Mantle fans wishing to go into his office and studio to look over the many items he had on display.
Hence, Hembree decided to take the plunge and create what numerous people had been promising to do for years, open a Mickey Mantle Museum!
Not liking the name museum' Hembree named the display the "Mickey Mantle Memorial Exhibit" wishing to pay respect to the well known Mantle rather than appear to be making a monetary gain from the Commerce Comet like so many of his other "friends" have done since his death.
Hembree stresses that the exhibit is absolutely free for the Mantle fans to come see and enjoy, and is open everyday at 1:00 P.M.
The Memorial features hundreds of autographs, photos, odd ball items, advertising items, souvenirs, balls, bats, gloves, gold and silver items, caps, jerseys, shirts, personal items, statues, figurines, collector plates, cups, mugs, steins, buttons, records, cards,jewelry... Well, you might say just about anything that has to do with the life and times of Mickey Mantle.
So if you are a fan of Mickey's or just an avid baseball fan, you cant miss this great dedication to Northeastern Oklahoma's most popular legend... Mickey Charles Mantle.
Due to the recent health issues of Hembree, the exhibit has been closed, please watch for new location.

FLORAL EXPRESSIONS... Grand Lake's Floral Headquarters In Historic Downtown Grove
Often we find ourselves in search of a nice floral arrangement, be it for a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, a funeral or just to show a loved one how much we care for absolutely no reason at all.
We are here to tell you about the finest floral and gift outlet on Grand Lake O' The Cherokees that is located right here in Grove.
Grove's original floral shop was located inside the Worley Funeral Home for years, it was purchased by a lady named Vi and she relocated it on Main Street and named it Flowers and Things.
On April 1, 1997 Jim Sherman and his beautiful wife Becky purchased the business, renaming it Floral Expressions by Rebecca and after a month of operation they enlarged to the location where they are today in downtown Grove at 101 West Third Street.
Not only did they gain fantastic exposure in the move, they also added more space and numerous amenities including a great selection of unique gifts.
Jim and Becky operate the business daily and offer the area's finest custom arrangements both in fresh flowers and silk, they also have an excellent selection of potted plants.
In fact you can walk in to the couple's business and pick from a single rose bud to dozens from their refrigerated cases, with the area's largest selection on in house flowers.
Need a balloon bouquet, or maybe a gourmet basket, or a nice one of a kind gift or a custom silk arrangement... Look no further because Jim and Becky has just what you are looking for, the only problem might be the wide selection you have to choose from.
Becky is also one of the only Certified Oklahoma Master Florist's on Grand Lake and has had extensive training on floral design, arrangements, merchandising and the care and handling of flowers. She is also a FTD Design Club Senior Florist.
Jim is very active in the day to day working of the business as well as being very active in the community by serving on the boards of GEFFE, Grove Area Chamber of Commerce and the Lendonwood Gardens.
You may see some of their fantastic arrangements at the Cornerstone Church as they adorn the stage with their work for every service, just one of the many things that they do for the community!
The couple came to Grove and have made it their home for the past 17 years, their sons Jimmy and Jason are both graduates of the Grove High School.
Floral Expressions by Rebecca have added a new full time Interior Designer to their staff offering some fantastic home designs. Jeanita Brown of Brown and Brown is now on staff to help you with some great ideas.

I'm telling you folks, Floral Expressions by Rebecca is one of the finest and most well stocked floral and gift outlets that you will find and I dare you to compare them to a larger city shop!
