What reason best explains why the statehood celebration is held in guthrie each year

The small town of Guthrie hosts the Oklahoma celebration every year because it celebrates the birth of this town. On Aprill 22nd, 1889, Unassigned Lands in central Oklahoma were made available for non-Indians settlement and within a few hours thousands of founding citizens established Guthrie. A year later, the city was considered the capital of the Oklahoma territory and the people of Guthrie decided to commemorate such accomplishment annually.
