Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has issued a proclamation declaring November as “Family Month.”
In observance of Family Month, the state will offer incentives and discounts to families who visit participating state parks and restaurants.
The proclamation, which Stitt signed at a news conference on Oct. 31, recognizes family as “the foundational institution of society, ordained by God.”
“I want Oklahoma to be the most pro-family state in the nation,” the Republican governor said at the news conference.
“So I’m proud to be the first governor to sign a proclamation to dedicate an entire month to the celebration of the great families that make up the state of Oklahoma.”
