Planning an Oklahoma Vacation?
For those of you who think you missed it. The birthday is over, nothing much is happening in Oklahoma, let me tell you something....the party has just begun.
As a suggestion, let me offer you the Red Earth Festival. Red Earth For a taste of what it is about, here is a youtube video from the 2007 festival YouTube - Red Earth Festival 2007 The Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival is one of America's most unique celebrations of American Indian cultures and traditions. For three thrilling days, June 6-8, 2008, members of more than 100 tribes from throughout North America will gather in Oklahoma City to celebrate and share in the richness and diversity of their heritage with the world.

What a NEAT festival. I love the music and the Native American dress.

That sounds wonderful! And we will be living in OK by then!! I'm glad you posted this because I have been feeling a little down that we missed the big birthday celebration. Now I have something really neat to look forward to. Thanks for posting that. Native American history and culture are so fascinating to me since I studied it in college.

The Art show is worth the price of admission. Believe me, they have some fantastic artists.
We kind of got mad at Red Earth because they became a little commercialized ($$ just to get in!) and even charged admission to the dancers!!! BAD BAD BAD. So, of course, the dancers started going elsewhere and the attendance went down. But some new people came and hopefully, it will get better.

Thanks Goodpasture!
We were thinking of driving to OK in July of '08, but after looking at the links from your post we may want to go in June instead. It looks like we would really enjoy the Red Earth festival. We could make it a stop on our way west to Ft. Sill. When my DH was stationed in OK years ago, he went to a PowWow here & there. He said they were really great.
Thanks for the info!

That is just one of hundreds of things to do.
Go to TravelOK.com:* Official Oklahoma Tourism Info. Site and do a search....there are going to be dozens of pow wows, rodeos, and festivals all over the state. I just wanted to use the Red Earth Festival as an example of the diversity and fun that can be enjoyed, even after the birthday candles are put out.

Hmmmmmmm.....
I'm pretty sure I'll have to pass on the calf fries! Although my father used to talk about eating them when he was an OTR trucker many years ago.
Looks like we'll have to order some brochures for 2008 after the holidays are over. Thanks again Goodpasture!
