    The Annual Association for Conservation Information conference is coming up soon in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Things you can expect. Wavin' wheat that can sure smell sweet, wind coming right behind the rain, and, of course, beautiful mornings, beautiful days and wonderful feelings. Rodgers and Hammerstein brought Oklahoma to life in one of the more renowned musicals, and now the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is bringing the modern frontier to ACI's annual conference, which will take place July 20-23 at the Fordson Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. If you're coming to ACI in Oklahoma, bring your favorite cowboy gear for the auction, just be cautious with pearl snap shirts in certain bars. Bring some cash and your A game for some great prizes. And check out this episode for many fantastic recommendations from OKDWC's Blake Podhajsky, Kelly Adams and Darrin Hill.
