(KTEN) -- During a typical summer, there's plenty to do across Texoma.

Last year, however, many events were canceled due to COVID-19. Organizers are hopeful that this year, everything is "go."

The cancellation of Durant's annual  Magnolia Fest took an economic toll on the city.

"Normally we see about a $250,000 margin that we hit with that event," said Durant Chamber of Commerce executive director Janet Reed.

Donny Raley, chairman of the National Sand Bass Festival in Madill, Oklahoma, said the cancellation of the 2020 event didn't just impact them, but the carnival company and vendors as well.

"We are ready for people to start coming in, visiting our city, seeing what we have to offer, and creating new events in the midst of all this as well," Reed said.

"It allows families to plan vacations," Raley added. "They come to Lake Texoma to recreate on the lake during the day and come to the festival at night. We have families that travel all over the United States to come to the festival for that very reason."

The Magnolia Fest is scheduled for June 3-5; the Sand Bass Festival is on the summer calendar for June 7-12.
