Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell was at the event and said the Blue Whale is a Route 66 icon. In fact, it's pretty much a Mother Road must-stop for travelers.
It's also beloved by locals.
"This has become a Catoosa tradition," said State Rep. Terry O'Donnell of Catoosa.
The city's Christmas countdown isn't over yet.
The tree-lighting ceremony is this coming Saturday, and the Christmas parade is the weekend after.
