At Oak - Our Parade Marshall this year is Chuck Greenwood, A respected aviation entrepreneur, community leader, and lifelong Ponca City advocate, Chuck Greenwood has spent decades building businesses, creating opportunities and giving back to his community. A 1980 graduate of Po-Hi, Chuck's passion for aviation led him to start Greenwood Aviation, transforming the Ponca City Airport into a nationally recognized destination for travelers from across the country. His vision later grew into Greenwood Aerospace, a company supporting critical aviation and defense programs around the world while continuing to create jobs and economic growth in Northern Oklahoma. Beyond business, Chuck has dedicated countless hours to civic leadership, education, economic development, and animal welfare. His service has included leadership roles with numerous national and state nonprofit organizations, and community initiatives that continue to benefit Ponca City today. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he was named Ponca City's Outstanding Citizen in 2018.
Chuck has become a true friend of the rodeo community, largely inspired by his son-in-law, 101 Wild West Rodeo V.P. Tyler Mayse. He enjoys watching his grandsons compete in mutton bustin' and loves cheering on his granddaughter as she learns to ride horses and barrel race. He rides in style in a 1997 Pontiac formula firebird convertible owned by Todd & Chastity Blackwell.
