🌱 Sylvester Stallone Films ‘The Tulsa King’ + Bird Flu Concerns

Hello, neighbors! Helen Eckhard here with a fresh Tulsa Daily.

First, today's weather:

Milder in the afternoon. High: 69 Low: 40.

Here are the top three stories today in Tulsa:

1. Movie star Sylvester Stallone will be in Tulsa next week to film an upcoming television show, “The Tulsa King.” This Paramount+ series is about a mafioso who moves to Tulsa to begin a new gang for his crime family. There is a casting call for extras from Mar. 29 to 31. (KTUL)
2. The Tulsa Zoo is taking preventive steps to protect its birds from the avian flu. The disease has been detected in 30 states and has caused the death of 13 million birds. Many fear that the disease spreading through poultry farms will cause food prices to rise. (KTUL)
3. Bama Pies is now a member of the Tulsa Employer Alliance for Veterans at the Coffee Bunker. Members of the organization agree to policies that benefit veterans who are employees and applicants. Bama also donated $5,000 to the Coffee Bunker. (KOKI FOX 23 TULSA)
