“Cleveland County held its first annual fair in Norman in November 1893,” according to the Oklahoma Historical Society.
Other noteworthy events along the timeline outlined by the historical society includes:
“No matter the size of the sponsoring community, the typical twentieth-century fair has usually been made up of two kinds of activities. Educational offerings included livestock and crop exhibits and competitions; arts, crafts, and homemaking competitions; and youth and vocational activities. General entertainment included midways, rides, food, shows, and special events. All of those elements have been present in greater or lesser degree in the Oklahoma fair scene since the region was Indian Territory.”
