A time to celebrate Oklahoma
Gov. Brad Henry
Even as the thermometer tells us summer is still here, fall is just around the corner. School has started for students across the state, football season soon will be under way and it’s time once again to celebrate all things Oklahoma at the Governor’s Mansion during Septemberfest.
Kim and I look forward to Septemberfest each year, and we invite all Oklahomans to join us from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 6. It’s a chance for Oklahoma families to have fun together, tour the beautiful Governor’s Mansion and grounds, and learn about our great state and its people.
Septemberfest will include arts and children’s activities, interactive exhibits, live entertainment, sports demonstrations and storytelling. As always, there will be a hay bale maze, great food and tours of the Governor’s Mansion, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary.
Those visiting Septemberfest also can also enjoy free admission to the Oklahoma History Center nearby on Northeast 23rd Street. This incredible facility chronicles our state’s fascinating history and educates new generations about the people and events that built Oklahoma into the proud state we know and love.
For Septemberfest, the Oklahoma History Center will supplement its usual exhibits with performances, crafts and displays, such as Celtic Dancers, a re-creation of a 19th magic show, Mexican folk dancing, Asian music and trick roping.
The 12th annual Septemberfest is hosted by the nonprofit Friends of the Mansion and several generous corporate donors. Admission is free, and families are welcome to bring their own picnic lunches or purchase food from vendors.
Every year, the crowds at Septemberfest seem to get bigger, and for good reason: There is always something new to see and do. Kim and I sincerely hope to see you this year for this fun celebration of Oklahoma.
