Joe Prichard said one of the coolest things he remembered that happened at Pete’s Place in Krebs was when state executives from across the United States were eating at the restaurant. “George Nigh was Governor and the National Lieutenant Conference was in Oklahoma and he brought them all down here,” Prichard said. “All the governors from all 50 states were in Krebs.”

Prichard said the state executives weren’t limited to just Pete’s Place. “I’m pretty sure they were here and at the Isle of Capri all at the same time,” Prichard said. “And George was running back and forth between the two restaurants.”
