OKC owns the property and has clearly deemed it a park and/or fairground.

A lease doesn't change ownership or the designation, IMHO, therefore the SDA applies and their signs do not have the force of law behind them. I carry at the fair.

Personal solution - don't bother going to the fair. Good part: I don't expose my car to theft/vandalism while parked. Bad part: I do like some of the fair food so I miss those. And, there's the "People of the State Fair" on The Lost Ogle website so that makes it almost like being there except for no corn dog.

There is a restaurant in Edmond called "The Fair", all they sell is Fair Food and they are open year round. :thumbup3:

This is VERY similar to what happens all the time with municipalities trying to get around state law restrictions buy delcaring this or that city function a "trust". Guthrie doesn't want to get sued for what their power/utility/water treatment does, they put it in a "trust" and then throw their hands up when someone doesn't like their rates or wants to sue. I've got more on this, but I'm in a class right now.
