Surely you mean Bokchito? East of Durant in Bryan County. Semi-sort-of-famous for being Dennis Rodman's home-away-from home. If you pass through a town you think is Easter, Oklahoma, it's Bokchito. Old "Colonel" Easter (I think he's dead now) owned EVERYTHING in town--feed store, restaurant, propane supply, with his name on nearly every building in town. My parents used to live there. Try to make it to a Bokchito "old-timer's" day parade if you can--riding lawnmowers, kids on their trikes, Colonel Easter's propane truck decorated up with crepe paper streamers--it's a real cultural experience, and well worth the trip.
