Biographical Sketch
Shirley Bellmon’s interest in sewing and crafts led her own business designing clothing under the “Shir-Lee” label. This interest is also evident in her advocacy for home businesses during her husband’s second gubernatorial term (1987-1991). During the second gubernatorial term of her husband, Mrs. Bellmon selected four key projects as her focus: state beautification, arts and crafts, or “Made in Oklahoma”, the Main Street Project, and an anti-drug campaign. Her interest in state beautification involved both the Project 89er campaign and the “Don’t Lay that Trash on Oklahoma” campaign. She actively promoted and participated in clean up campaigns throughout the state. “Made in Oklahoma” developed from her personal interests in arts and crafts. Mrs. Bellmon promoted state businesses, particularly those that involved arts and crafts. The other two areas where she focused her attention, The Main Street Project and the anti-drug campaign, also coincided with her concern for bettering the state Oklahoma.
