Oklahoma State Fair draws crowds with music, rodeo, food and fun
The Oklahoma State Fair remains one of the most popular events in the state, featuring live performances, a rodeo, carnival rides, fair food and livestock competitions. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people hit State Fair Park to take in the sights, sounds and tastes.
One could argue it's the most popular event in the state. In fact, it may not even be close.
More than 835,000 people went to last year's Oklahoma State Fair, and that was during a time where bad weather affected attendance. The year before, about 915,000 attended.
