Horses, Cows, Goats, OH MY!

Tulsa, Oklahoma


Round two back in OK on state fairgrounds again! 

It may be a different city, a different arena, and a different crowd, but again we were beside the goats.  Who would have ever thought? 


We didn’t have as much time to explore the fair this time, but most of us did manage to make it out and enjoy some more yummy fair food.  Some of us even got to see the animals.   We even found the horses and cows!  It still amazes me though that these are state fairs and there are more carnival rides and food booths than there are barn animals, 4-H tents, or FFA booths. 


The county fair back home (Washington County Fair) not only has these, but they have baking contests, truck and tractor pulls, demolition derbies for both cars and school buses, along with band night (local high school bands perform).  There, it is more about the outdoor life than it is the entertainment side of things even though there are still the game tents as well as the carnival rides, but they aren’t the biggest attraction of the fair.  We like it a little more country, a little rough around the edges at home. 


But enough about that, it was time to get cleaned up and brush off that fair dust because it was Opening Night Party!   I know the show has been open for a few weeks and its tradition to have a celebration like this when the first show of the season has commenced, but as usual our show is a little different.


Finally having time in our schedule and having most of the cast in the same place, it was time.  We finally made it happen.  It was a long, crazy ride last year and we are in for about the same this year, so it was time to officially get started. 


And where better, than to open in Tulsa, where the very first Disney On Ice Show performed 75 years ago. 


Hard to believe, 34-shows later, we are still going strong and performing all around the world.  But next stop for us…El Paso, Texas.
