Sunday morning I headed out to the Tulsa State Fair. I got there late in the morning and not too many people were there. Which is fine with me. 
All the rides were getting ready for the day. I am not much of a ride guy.
They have an incredible variety of food there. I generally eat only one thing. A couple years ago it was grasshopper pizza. Today I had a pretty good Indian Taco.
I was mainly there for the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show. It is supposed to be the top show in the US for such things. I will post more examples later in the week but this is an example. It is kind of an inverted layer cake with lots of lace decorations.
The detail is amazing. All the external components must be food grade. No real flowers, or non food decorations allowed.
They had a category shoes as well. I had never seen edible shoes before.
Next I moseyed over to the FFA displays. I always enjoy seeing what they put together. 
They had a great display of pumpkins.
And of course, being a State Fair you gotta have critters. Like cows.
and horses.
I did take one ride. The skyride that bisects the fair east and west. There is a coliseum on the fair grounds and Disney on Ice was putting on there show. There were little girls in the Frozen costumes all over the fair going to the show with their mothers. Pretty sweet if you ask me. I’m a guy, I can’t say it is precious, even if is precious.
So anyway, it was a pretty cheap outing. I took the shuttle bus from a satellite location so parking was free, $10 for admission, a nice Optimator draft beer at the beer garden and an Indian Taco cost another $16, the Skyride cost me $4. So, all in all, it was a cheap outing.
I do love the Sugar Arts Show and am sorry I will miss it again this year. I look forward to your post. The lace on that one cake is just incredible. Taking the Skyride at night, when the midway is all lit up, is really fun. We’ve never used the satellite parking but it sounds like a great idea. Have a blessed week.
Looks like a great fair! Ours looks pretty simple in comparison. The sugar art is amazing!
Those first 3 shots—
Were you all alone? There when the gates opened?
Beer and tacos. Good combo for me too.
Ah, looks like a fun day!! Haven’t been to a state fair since I left Texas!! That sugar art is indeed amazing!! Thanks for sharing the fun!! Have a great new week!!
That sugar work is incredible. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.
You were lucky to get there before the crowd did. And there’s plenty to photograph. Wow. Next year I’ll try to go to the state fair because I haven’t been.
Worth a Thousand Words
Tis the season ~ Great shots ~ colorful and favorites are the animals!
Happy Week to you,

Haven’t been to a Fair in forever. There’s always something good to eat. I love seeing the sugar art.
love to see all those shots…perfect blue sky and looks like a great crowd. I haven’t been to a fair for quite some times now..
I used to love the state fair, but it’s held in Pueblo, the hottest place in the state in the middle of August. It’s usually over 100 degrees, there’s no parking close by, and it’s a drive to get there. Maybe I just was there too often when Jillian was showing her horse. We haven’t gone in a couple years…maybe next year.
What a fun state fair, Yogi! Denver has the stock show but it is all cattle and horses. I’d love to see the variety that you fair offers.
Fun! I haven’t been to our state fair in many years, but I was at our county fair this weekend. Those cakes are amazing.
Take 25 to Hollister
Cheap outing for sure … All that fun and all those wonderful pictures, it’d be worth it at twice the price! Love that sugar art..in both your posts. Unbelievable!
I love fairs, I could eat my way from one side to the other. – Margy
