Jay Real Estate...

At a Glance


The Jay and East Lake area have been erratic over the past seven years in terms of identifiable real estate trends.  All of the major indicators are up for 2007 as compared to 2006, and you will note some significant general increases.   A number of factors point to this area being among the biggest growth areas over the next several years, including the amount of available, vacant lakefront land and the continued improvement of infrastructure along US Hwy 59 between Jay and Grove.

BECKI FARLEY, PRESIDENT

ARVEST BANK (JAY)

If you’re looking for someone with an extensive understanding of banking, look up Becki Farley, the president of Arvest Bank’s Jay branch.

Farley became president in 2006, bringing 24 years of banking experience to the job, eight of them with Arvest in its commercial lending division.

Farley is a native of Coweta, Oklahoma where she graduated from Coweta High School. She became a Grand Laker when she and her husband Butch returned to his boyhood home town of Jay.

“This has become my home,” she says. “I’m proud to live in a place where people care deeply about each other.”

Asked to give advice about banking products, Farley recommends asking lots of questions.

“I’ve seen lots of changes over the last 24 years. Banking products and services do so many things now – find the product that works best for you.”

 

Farley is President of the Jay Chamber of Commerce

Jay - A PROUD HISTORY

Situated within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation, Jay is rich in Native American tradition. The Cherokees first settled here after their removal from their eastern homelands over the ‘Trail of Tears.’ Jay’s history is a unique blend of Cherokee and Anglo cultures and it has gained a reputation as a center of Native American activities.

Jay is the Delaware county seat and home to all Delaware County government offices. Each July, the town holds its annual Huckleberry Festival with festivities including a parade, car show, carnival, bull ride, homemade arts and crafts, free huckleberries and ice cream, a three-on-three basketball tournament, gospel music and turtle races.

The area’s Cherokee traditions are reflected in the annual Gigging Tournament sponsored by the Green Country Giggers Association every April.
The tournament awards the gigger who “gigs” the greatest number of fish and is exciting for spectators and participants alike.

In August, Jay’s streets rev up during the annual Cruise Night with over 200 entries. The evening is topped off by live entertainment at the courthouse square.

The Marie Wallace Historical Museum houses interesting historical documents, farm implements of early settlers and other artifacts that chronicle the area’s history.

Jay is close to the Drowning Creek arm of Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees and to Lake Eucha, a crystal-clear lake that supplies drinking water for Tulsa and Jay.
