Oklahoma County residents of all ages are invited to compete in the 107th annual Oklahoma County Free Fair. The Free Fair will get underway at the Oklahoma State Fair Park August 26 -28, 2021 with its competitions, special activities, and Horse Show.
“The Oklahoma County Free Fair allows residents to show off their talent and creativity,” said LaDonna Hines, Oklahoma County OSU Extension Director. To exhibit at the fair, Oklahoma County residents need to bring their items to the Centennial Building at the State Fair Park from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, August 26th. The Oklahoma County Free Fair Book lists all categories available as well as a schedule of the special activities and contests. The fair book can be found online at https://extension.okstate.edu/county/oklahoma or can be picked up at the Oklahoma County OSU Extension office located at 2500 N.E. 63rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK.
“There is no fee to enter the county fair or to take part in any of the special contests or events,” explained Hines. “Our fair also provides people with a wonderful opportunity to see how they do in competition with others as they get ready for the Oklahoma State Fair.”
On Friday, August 27th, the Centennial Building is open from 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. so exhibits can be viewed after judging. That evening, starting at 6:30 p.m. in Barn 8, the Horse Show is scheduled and continues Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. and going throughout the day.
Saturday, August 28th, the county fair, Centennial Building, will open at 9:00 am and fair goers can check out the OSU Insect Adventure and youth can participate in water conservation hands on activities, sponsored by Oklahoma City Water Utilities. Then starting at 9:30 a.m., the first contest will begin. “We plan Saturday morning as a fun day for the whole family,” commented Hines. We invite youth to bring their ice cream toppings and container (ice cream will be provided) and compete in the “Ice Cream Sundae Making” contest. The kid’s sundaes will be judged for presentation and creativity and youngsters can win ribbons and cash prizes. The next activity is the “Kiddy Tractor Pull” for children 12 years and younger. Kids can compete by pulling weights while driving pedal tractors. Those who win first in their category will qualify for the state event.
