Or at least be a part of it.

The city commission voted Monday night to join the Wind Power Trail, a travel project that interprets the history of wind energy along a meandering 600-mile corridor from Norman, Okla., to Lubbock.

And now it has a stop in White Deer.

"It was exactly what we had in our minds, trying to do something to promote our community and bring tourism," said Anita Haiduk, White Deer city administrator. "We liked the idea."

The White Deer wind farm will be the first commercial wind farm on the route, which runs through the Oklahoma towns of Lawton, Norman, Elk City, Woodward and Shattuck and the Texas towns of Spearman, Canyon, Plainview and Lubbock.

Seth Davidson, an area tourism promoter, started work on the trail last year, bringing together different entities to promote wind energy on the High Plains and Oklahoma.

He presented the details to the White Deer City Commission on Monday, showing what the trail looked like and what the benefits were. He had a positive answer quickly.

"It will give local merchants an incentive to offer goods and services," he said. "It's (the wind farm) one of the iconic landmarks of the Panhandle. Everyone knows that wind farm."

Now more people outside the area will know the wind farm. White Deer will be listed as a stop along the route in the thousands of brochures and maps available this spring.

"We're very excited about it," Haiduk said. "We think it's a really good thing."
