Tulsa State Fair -

[sgrizzle]

I've been told you have to have some sort of standing sign denoting the space as handicapped parking.  Is that true?

Don't think so.

Yes, you have to have the space labeled in front of it (i.e. on a post, on a wall, etc) to be designated.  If it is simply painted on the ground, then it is not enforcable.

[Hoss]

I'm saying the clearance is optional.

For example, we just added several handicap spots by painting the symbol in the middle. No side clearance, no widening.

Then in my mind, it's really non-functional for the most part.  But hey, that's just my opinion.

From my observations the 'blue space' parking has improved some during this fair.  With venue vs. building based parking (and EXPO has to work for both) challenges exist.  Had this converstation yesterday evening in the Vision booth and from that I know for fact that EXPO management is committed to doing better and is studying what to do.  In the near future I expect it to be greatly improved for both building and whole venue events.

I haven't been to the fair since Bell's left and hadn't planned on going because of that but the wife wanted to take the kids to see Disney on Ice. With those tickets we got fair admission and prefered customer parking on the west side of the Pavillion. They do have about 10 handicapped spaces in that lot but all were taken. While I enjoyed Disney on Ice, the fair is not what it used to be. $4.25 for a 12oz beer? Thats crazy and I don't even drink. The new buildings looked good, the midway wasn't as jammed with rides and booths and it used to be which I thought was nice, and it seemed to be cleaner than I remember. But it was Friday afternoon when we went before it got to crowded.

I went to the fair for the dueling piano people and they were really awesome. I tried to find some Marshall's to drink, but I couldn't find anything.  I had to drink this watered down bud light stuff, but I did get to drink it out of a plastic golden driller container.

The Marshalls (and other Oklahoma brewed beers) is near the Oklahoma stage. it's in a white tent with a neon "Choc" sign on it.

I need a plastic Golden Driller container.  Is the GD just printed on a cup or am I imagining better souvenirs in my head than what is reality in hoping that it's GD shaped? Either way one would make a displaced Tulsan in my life very happy.

It is actually in the shape of the Golden Driller.
