A Night at the Fair

My family and I spent the evening at the Tulsa State Fair. Growing up in Dallas, it has taken me a couple of years to warm up to the Tulsa State Fair. I kept comparing it to the Texas State Fair. I suppose that is a lot like comparing your wife’s cooking to your mother’s…you really shouldn’t do it. (If you do, it’s best to keep those opinions to your self, lest you offend)

The truth is, that The Tulsa State Fair has a flavor and distinctiveness all its own. After seven years, I really look forward to it. I usually go at least twice, and this year will be no exception. This year we took the children. Actually two years ago, we took the three-year-old, but it’s not really the same. Going to the fair with a walking and taking child is completely different and I dare say fun. I enjoyed sharing the sights and sounds, the people and the animals, and the food and the rides with my daughter. I can’t wait until both children are old enough to really take in all that the Tulsa State Fair as to offer


On a separate note, as I write this, Casa Bonita is closing its doors for the last time. On our way to the fair this evening, we witnessed a very large line of people just waiting to get inside.

This is so sad. I'll miss the place. I use to eat there all the time.
