Get Ready for “Miles of Smiles” at the Oklahoma State Fair

It's almost time for the Oklahoma State Fair, an event that’s been part of Oklahoma’s makeup for more than 100 years. There’s just something about rides, food on a stick, shows, livestock competitions and people-watching that make the fair a fun and unique experience you want to go to year-after-year. The 2015 fair runs from September 17-27 and promises to generate "miles of smiles" for attendees.  

Here are just a few of the things you can expect at this year's fair:

Disney on Ice – “Frozen”
