Oklahoma State Fair Food 2018

Yesterday, I visited the Oklahoma State Fair to sample some of the new and award-winning fair foods as well as hear from food vendors talk about their specials this year. The 2018 Oklahoma State Fair started on September 13th and goes through the 23rd. For a complete list of the new foods, read my story on Uncovering Oklahoma.

Ride OKC

Growing from a passion to see places one normally doesn’t see, Ride OKC offers people unique tours of Oklahoma City via bicycle. Ashely and Ryan Fogle of Ride OKC, along with Bailey Gordon of Cookie Tour, share what riders can expect. If you’re a cookie connoisseur, this video includes footage from the Cookie Bike Tour.

I personally had a great time with Ride OKC on the Cookie Bike Tour. Their tours make for a great date. A while back I posted an adventure vlog about my time with them and AMP Festival, which I’ve included below.

Next week’s featured video will be on a coffee shop that I visited in Tulsa while I was there for the Gathering Place.

Rodeo Cinema

Kim Haywood gives a tour of Oklahoma City’s unique nonprofit art-house movie theatre, Rodeo Cinema. Located in the Stockyards City, Rodeo Cinema plans to promote, engage, and enrich community consciousness through film.

I think it’s great to have another independent movie theatre in town. I’m going to quote a friend, Stephen Tyler, a Managing Partner at Tower Theatre. His response on the subject being concerted with Rodeo Cinema as competition was, “No, because I want more in OKC. Plus I am a firm believer in the adage ‘All ships rise with the tide.’”

I’m looking forward to what Rodeo Cinema does in the future!

Ride OKC and AMP Fest

On August 25, 2018, I did the Cookie Tour with Ride OKC and then went to AMP Festival. In this brief adventure vlog, I share my experience with the bike tour and the female-focused music festival in Oklahoma City.

I’ll have a full story on Ride OKC for Uncovering Oklahoma in a few weeks. I’m wanting to get footage of one more tour, the brewery tour, that they do regularly. On the subject of what’s next at Uncovering Oklahoma, tomorrow’s featured video will be on the nonprofit art-house movie theatre, Rodeo Cinema. Then next week, I’ve been invited to attend a media preview of Gathering Place in Tulsa, which I’m super excited to see. Gathering Place will be next week’s featured video, showing it off before it opens to the public on September 8.
