Tulsa State Fair

[Snattlerake]

My senior year, 1974, I stayed at the FFA dorm one week while we were showing animals. I remember a group of long haired hippie types jumped the fence one night. "Hippies!" was shouted in the dorm like "To arms! To arms!" There were 3 cowboys in boots, underwear, and cowboy hats, swinging a rope and chasing them.

I heard later one of them was sheered like a sheep.

That was the last time I was there.

Never had a hankering to go. But I think $10 is a expensive meal.

I go for the free yard sticks. It’s a family tradition. Probably skipping this year because of deer season.

I haven’t been to the Tulsa State Fair in at least 25 years. I was texting my daughter and she said her and her husband were at the fair and have been all day. She mentioned the food and said it was $80 for three sandwiches, a burger, and fries. Then said it was $85 for five refillable lemonades. She also said 50 tickets were around $65 and it takes anywhere between 4 - 6 tickets per person. She said the wrist bands weren’t available until Monday. I admit I have a little “f-you” money….but “F” that! I’ll spend some money on certain things, but I’m also not stupid. Everyone has a different perspective on what’s worth the cost, but the Tulsa State Fair…..hell no!

Anyone planning on going the the fair? After my conversation and the number of years since I’ve been….HARD PASS!

We went with the kids today, had a great time. My wife did buy one of the lemonades for my son but I didn't asker her how much it was. The kiddie rides were 3-4 tickets. Kids loved the Disney on ice too.

The fair never was cheap, don't imagine it ever will be. It was a little hot today walking around but kids had a blast.

No use wetting the diapers on price, just don't go. As far as perspective, you can't take it with you.

But I can find places to spend it.
