As the brisk weather sets in and the hard work of a year spent raising animals, crafting woodworking projects, and perfecting recipes for that perfect cherry pie comes to fruition, it can only mean one thing: it's time for the annual Tulsa State Fair in September. This event boasts a variety of attractions, including livestock shows, horse shows, the Junior Livestock Auction, cotton candy, and the Tilt-A-Whirl. Whether you're reliving cherished childhood memories or creating new ones for the next generation, the fair offers something for everyone to enjoy. The Tulsa State Fair is a significant family event in the City that spans 11 days and offers entertainment and educational experiences. It takes place annually on the fourth Thursday after Labor Day and is rooted in heritage, family values, and quality entertainment for people of all ages. The fair has been around since 1903, when it was known as the "Tulsa County Free Fair" and has evolved into what it is today. Its primary goal is to provide an enjoyable and informative experience for the community, and it has a rich history of over a century.

Visit the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. It's a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the life and legacy of Will Rogers, America's favorite satirist and cowboy poet from the Great Depression era. Will Rogers originally purchased the 20-acre land as a retirement estate but unfortunately passed away shortly after. Today, the Memorial Museum houses the world's most extensive collection of Will Rogers memorabilia, including his entire collection of writings. In fact, in 2015, Gordon Kuntz generously donated the second-largest collection of items to the museum, which includes one-of-a-kind movie posters, movie stills, books, correspondence, and much more. You can easily spend hours touring the museum and learning about Will Rogers' life, wisdom, and humor.
