JT, in conjunction with Dewayne Convirs and Adventure Park, is gearing up to host Oklahoma D-Day 2009 (-> register), which promises to be one of the best and most interactive events to date. Oklahoma D-Day has a long standing reputation as being one of the premier events of the season, but this year is going to top them all. On the game side you will see an improved Coleville complete with a new set of two story buildings that will change everything about how the last battle is played out. You will also have easier access to HPA and CO2 service this year in addition to easy in - easy out dead boxes that minimize your playing down time.

With JT as the official paintball sponsor of Oklahoma D-Day, showcasing our FLUID line of quality paintballs, there is a strong tradition to uphold as the primary sponsor. We are very excited to stand up to the challenge and invite everyone to come visit the JT HQ compound and paintball experiential center complete with our shooting both, demos of JT products, tech facility, and product sales area. JT will be hosting a hospitality area for its dealers and industry legends, showcasing an Academy Sports interactive camping demo and the marquee book signing and lecture with WWII legend Jake McNeese, one of the Filthy Thirteen from the 101’st airborne.

The first ever “JT Steel Beach” compound will host a number of exciting events along with movie night under the stars. JT and Academy Sports will be bringing you “Academy Awards” Movie Night and will be showing classic WWII movies throughout the week including Where Eagles Dare on Wednesday, Desert Rats on Thursday and Saving Private Ryan on Friday, with all the action starting at 9pm. Michael DeChant will also be there every night showing never-before-seen previews of his documentary Soldiers of Paint, which follows the behind the scenes action of Oklahoma D-Day participants. Admission is free for all players and there will be nightly prize giveaways.

Capping the week, on Friday and Saturday, JT Legends Mike “Blue” Hanse and Chris “Deuce” Hanse of Blues Crew will be signing autographs alongside Rich Telford and Junior Brown of Sacramento XSV after a hard fought day on the battlefield. Capping the week’s events, JT will be hosting a free concert featuring rock/blues artist Leah & the Mojo Doctors after the awards ceremony. Don’t miss what promises to be one of the best paintball events of the season and come see why JT is as legendary as ever.
