Geez...could our fair music be any $@ittier.  I guess no one really goes to the fair for the music though...come to think of it, who actually goes to the fair period?

I do.

It's a nice, compact fair. I've been to a number of state fairs, and I like Tulsa's a lot.

And in terms of music, you're going to have a few lame acts at a state fair. Goes with the territory.

Personally, I'd have no problem seeing Gary Allan (whose last CD, released after the suicide of his wife, is heartbreaking) and Asleep At the Wheel. And Ronnie Milsap, to my mild shock, put out a really good album a few months ago. He's on the comeback trail.

Asleep at the Wheel is playing Thursday.  I certainly don't think they're $@itty.

I like to go each year, just to see what new food they've decided to batter & deep fry.

Asleep at the Wheel is one of my favorite bands as well. I have seen them at least a dozen times in Tulsa, mostly at the Cains.

I plan to go to the fair the final weekend just to see the sugar art show.

It is an amazing art show that is being covered as a special again by the Food Network.

One of my favorite fair memories is the day that the kids sell their pigs. There is this amazing scene of a pen full of kids and pigs with a truck and a big ramp to load the animals.

Half of the kids are crying because they are losing their pets and the other half have more money in their hands than they have ever had and the midway is just steps away.

Hey, Ronnie Millsap and Rick Springfield are good.[}:)] The best day to go would be Sunday. Those are good oldies bands. Who doesn't remember Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. [8D]

I went last year for the first and only time. The fair here is a joke. If they cannot do better than this, they should hang it up.

What...you don't like Frank Stallone or country fried mullets?

What in the f*** is wrong with the folks on this board and who is davaz? I gave my opinion on the fair, nothing more and nothing less. You mean it is required that we all feel the same way? What a bunch of crap.

As I've mentioned previously, Tulsa State Fair is one of the three things I miss most about not living in Tulsa.  The NC State Fair is about the same size, but spread-out over more acres, making is not as compact as Tulsa's.  With the improving facilities at Expo Square, Tulsans should be very proud to have such an exceptional event.

I go for the animals, the exhibition booths, and of course the food.

For those interested, here are a couple of websites, listing state and county fairs across the US:

I love the fair, if for no other reason than the sociological experience it offers. You see people there you never see any other time of the year. There must be a special bus that picks up all these colorful characters and deposits them at the Expo Square entrance daily.

I never miss it.

Does anyone know how many ride tickets most of the rides take? Thanks!
Title: Tulsa State Fair
Post by: pmcalk on October 01, 2006, 12:21:13 PM
Most of the adult rides are around 5 to 6 tickets.  Kid rides are around 4.  Sadly, most tickets cost .75 to $1, depending on how many you buy.

I think food network has two competitions this year. That's what my handy state fair guide said..
