Oct 11 Saturday
Scissortail Park will be home to a Farmers Market starting in April and running through October. Join us every Saturday morning, from 9 am to 11 pm, and peruse a variety of fresh produce and handcrafted items while supporting your local farmers!
We host a weekly indoor Saturday farmers' market year-round. Please come check out our fresh, local produce & fruits. We have a wide variety of baked goods, proteins, prepared foods, and many gluten-free and vegan options. There is always something for everyone. Then, browse the antique mall, have lunch at the many restaurants, and shop for beautiful plants, pumpkins, and so much more.
We all have an inner artist, and some even act upon it. Join us in the beautiful, well-lit Conference Room to work on your project. Find support, ideas, and maybe make some friends as you all work on your projects.
Supplies are not provided, just bring what you are working on and everything you will need. [Registration Required.]

In this hands-on class, kids will explore the art of Dale Chihuly and his vibrant glass works, Macchia. Using clay and colorful glazes, students will sculpt and decorate their own unique bowls while learning about form, texture, and the expressive power of color. Please dress for mess!
Finished clay pieces will remain onsite to dry and be kiln-fired. Families will be notified by email once the artwork is ready for pickup.
This class is designed for kids ages 8-12. All supplies will be provided.
Experience live performance like you've never seen before. This performing arts festival packs plenty of activities and live entertainment for a full fringe festival experience. This 10-day event will feature over 85 performances from 23 multidisciplinary performance groups. On each day, audience members will have the opportunity to attend a different line-up of performances as well as free special events. Performers will demonstrate multiple disciplines like comedy, opera, dance, puppetry and more.
This festival celebrates the Fringe style of theatre production. One hour or less, low tech and high on ingenuity, Fringe performances are a national and international phenomenon, with festivals happening in every major city across the globe. No restrictions are made as to the nature, style, theme or content. All performers are welcome, regardless of professional or amateur status. The result is a festival full of the unexpected.
Explore as many different genres and styles of performance as possible in a single evening, or over the course of the two weeks. You'll discover so many unique perspectives on theatrical performance during this festival.
Session 1: We’ll begin with a visit to "Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection," focusing on the distinctive shapes and forms in his artwork. In the classroom, participants will create their own Chihuly-inspired clay bowls using slump and slab techniques. The session will wrap up with time to refine each piece by smoothing surfaces or adding details.
Session 2: Our second session begins with another look at the exhibition, exploring Chihuly's use of color. In the studio, participants will refine their vessels by sanding and smoothing, then add lines, patterns, or other details before completing their bowls with vibrant glaze.
Alex Warren brings the "Cheaper Than Therapy Tour" to The Zoo Amphitheatre on Saturday, October 11th.
