Tinklenberg House Awareness Month

Body
Many in the Ponca City area are aware of the friendly neighborhood skeletons, or skellies as they call them, that reside and entertain on Pecan Rd. From their stellar Halloween scenes to their newest animal centric set up, the Tinklenberg House Gallery is sure to have excellent skeleton displays all year round. The problem that the Tinklenbergs are seeing is that often people don’t find their displays until halfway through their spooky season and are disappointed that they missed out. For this reason, the Tinklenberg House Gallery sent out a call for awareness on their Facebook Page.
