My personal travel vlog about my trip to Enid, Oklahoma for the Oklahoma Arts Conference. While in Enid, I visited local places such as Simpson’s Old Time Museum, Leonardo’s Children’s Museum, Creative Arts Enid, and Five80 Coffeehouse.
For the trip, I came a day early to spend some quality time in Enid, which was a first. In the past, I had only passed through the town a few times. I managed to film two videos for Uncovering Oklahoma on Tuesday when I arrived. The arts conference itself kept me busy the rest of the time as you can see from my schedule below.

I had a great time at the Oklahoma Arts Conference. The one next year will be in Oklahoma City, so I am considerating going to it again next year. I would recommend it to any professional in the arts field.
That’s it for this update! Stay tuned for the video on Simpson’s Old Time Museum (coming tomorrow) and Leonardo’s Children’s Museum (next week).
Erica Little has close to 9 years of experience in the science field ranging from microbial and mammalian work to analytical work including bioanalytical and analytical development. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oklahoma and is a scientist for a local biopharmaceutical company that specializes in producing therapeutic antibodies and proteins. Erica’s depth of scientific knowledge and versatility has afforded her various opportunities including building and supervising an analytical process characterization testing team to being the sole principle scientist on the testing of clinical trial samples in which the data helped the corporation sell their antibody to a major pharmaceutical company for $665 million.
Erica is an executive committee member of the Oklahoma Bioscience Association as well as being involved in other scientific organizations. In her spare time, she likes to play the violin, sing, and act. She was a part of a play at the Poteet Theatre and even appeared in a local car commercial.
As she progresses through her scientific career, Erica hopes to continue to share her knowledge and experiences along the way.
As I’m writing this, I’m in Enid for the Oklahoma Arts Conference. While here, I’ve also filmed some future stories for Uncovering Oklahoma. Since it is Thursday, I’m sharing this video of artist romy owens giving a site tour of Under Her Wing was the Universe in Enid, Oklahoma for the conference on October 24, 2017. During the tour, romy discusses the story behind the project and gives a status update.
I also filmed two interviews on some neat places in Enid on Tuesday, so those will be coming out on future updates.
