NEW FOODIf you thought last year’s State Fair had over-the-top things to eat, get ready for the 2014 Oklahoma State Fair New Food List:

All American Hot Dog - One of Diamond Dawgs many “hot dog creations” is a grilled polish sausage on a freshly baked artisan bun, topped with homemade mac & cheese, and finished with grated cheddar cheese.

Bacon Bloomin’ Onion – A batter-fried onion is hard to resist but now that Porky’s has topped their hand-cut onions with bacon, Fair Food Fanatics will be clamoring to get a taste.

Bacon Explosion Sundae - This sundae has it all: ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, bacon & more bacon! Is it dinner or dessert? Find out at Guiltless Concessions.

Bacon & Gouda French Fries – Why have plain French fries when you can cover them in freshly shredded Gouda cheese and delicious crumbled bacon? Head over to the Bacon Habit and grab yourself a plate full.

Bacon-Wrapped Jack Daniels – Sit back and imagine a churro infused with a half a shot of Jack Daniels, wrapped in bacon and grilled. Served up crispy and topped with maple syrup & whipped cream. Is your mouth watering? The Bacon Habit has the cure.

Boudin On-A-Stick – Rolling on the Bayou is bringing a favorite Southern Louisiana dish, Boudin, to the State Fair this year. But it wouldn’t be a Fair Food if it wasn’t served on a stick!

Captain Crunch Chicken On-A-Stick – Diamond Dawgs batters chicken strips in their own special Capt’n Crunch cereal based batter and serves them with sweet honey mustard on the side. This moist and tender chicken will please folks who crave both sweet and savory.

Caveman Turkey Leg – Sure to delight carnivores, the Bacon Habit is taking a GIANT turkey leg and wrapping it with a pound of bacon before smoking it to seal in the flavor. You’ll need big appetite to devour thismammoth-sized meal.

Cuban Pork Crepe – CoCo Flow Concessions isn’t afraid to turn a sweet treat into something savory. Shredded pork, some Swiss cheese, pickle spears & a dash of spicy Tabasco mayo all rolled up in a fresh crepe.

Churro Shortcake – It’s a new twist on a classic dessert! L’il Bits Donuts traded out the typical shortcake for churros then topped them with straw-berries and fresh whipped cream.

Chocolate Dipped Twinkie On-A-Stick – Leave it to Mom & Pop Corn to skewer a classic snack, dip it in chocolate, and serve it at the State Fair.

Deep-Fried Bacon Cinnamon Roll – The Bacon Cinnamon Roll you’ve loved for years is getting the deep-fried treatment from Sweet Shop.

Deep-Fried Banana Nutella Crepe – Coco Flow Concessions is lining its sweet vanilla crepe with fresh bananas and Nutella before deep-frying and topping it off with chocolate and caramel sauce and whipped cream. Have mercy.

Deep-Fried Bison Balls – One of Sweet Shop’s many new food offerings for this year’s State Fair is a flavor explosion for the daring Fair Food connoisseur. Lean bison meat is mixed with tangy blue cheese crum-bles and red onion, and then rolled it into balls for a dip in the deep fryer. Served with horseradish-mayo.

Deep-Fried Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich On-A-Stick – It has taken Aunt Edmoe’s year’s to perfect the science behind deep-frying ice cream. Their homemade chocolate chip ice cream is spread between two cookies and quickly deep-fried to create a warm, crispy shell around the chilly ice cream center.

Deep-Fried Giant Gummy Bears – Gummy bears have taken the plunge into the deep fryer courtesy of the Sweet Shop. But the deliciousness doesn’t stop there; each bear will be covered in powdered sugar and strawberry sauce and served on a stick.

Deep-Fried Sauerkraut Balls – And now for something completely different: sauerkraut, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, and cheddar-jack cheese is hand-rolled into balls and deep-fried into melt-in-your-mouth goodness. You’ll have to try them for yourself at the Sweet Shop.

French Toast Burger – Porky’s introduced OKC to the doughnut burger, the pancake burger and the PB&J burger. Now they’re back with a new bun choice for you to try – sweet French toast!

Fried Chicken & Donuts with Maple Syrup – If you like chicken and waffles, you’ll LOVE chicken and donuts. Available at L’il Bits Donuts.

Honey Bun Bacon Cheeseburger – Harvell Concessions is combing sweet and savory for this new bacon cheeseburger by swapping the typical bun for a Honey Bun. Run, don’t walk, before it’s too late.

Monkey Time Donut – L’il Bits Donuts doesn’t monkey around with their fresh take on everyone’s favorite breakfast item. This specialty donut is topped with creamy peanut butter, fresh banana slices, honey, and bits of crumbled bacon! Our taste buds are singing already!

Nutella Donut – Great things happen when you mix Nutella and donuts. L’il Bits Donuts knows the way to our hearts with this hazelnut and chocolate sensation.

Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll – Tender, fluffy, and ooey-gooey cinnamon rolls with the flavor of red velvet cake, topped with real cream cheese frosting? Better get in line now for Sweet Shop’s most decadent new food item.

Wonderboy Corn Dog – Diamond Dawgs has a new spin on a Fair Food classic! They deep-fry a special recipe hot dog frank on a stick that has been coated in a homemade batter made out of Capt’n Crunch cereal. Served with a side of honey mustard, their technique creates a never before experienced taste and texture sensation.

CONCERTS

CHICKASAW ENTERTAINMENT STAGEFREE CONCERTS WITH GATE ADMISSION

Colt Ford / 7:30 P.M.Just like his closest “hick-hop” competition, Cowboy Troy, Ford grew up listening to country - his first concert was Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton - along with R&B and hip-hop. When the Georgia native reached adulthood he began writing songs.

Sept. 11

Kansas / 7:30 P.M.Celebrating their 40th year as a band in 2013, KANSAS’ first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974. Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early ‘70’s, what seemed to be “different,” was actually ahead of its time.

Sept. 12

Easton Corbin / 8:00 P.M.Corbin became the first country male artist in 17 years to have his first two singles reach No. 1. Billboard named him the Top New Country Artist of 2010. He was ranked No. 9 on Billboard’s list of Top Country Artists-Male, listed between Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw.

Sept. 13

La Authentica Banda Jerez / 3:00 P.M.One of the most popular bands from Mexico.

Sept. 14

for King & Country / 7:30 P.M.Their insightful lyrics in a sea of ear-grabbing melodies, brothers Joel and Luke have forged a distinctive sound that has earned them an enthusiastic fan base and the respect of industry professionals. They ignite each other’s passions to form a unique, distinctive voice.

Sept. 15

Vertical Horizon / 7:30 P.M. This Boston-based band is the epitome of the do-it-yourself work ethic. It didn’t rely on the backing of a record company to further its career. It took it upon itself, releasing three independent albums before signing a contract with RCA/BMG.

S.O.S. Band / 7:30 P.M.The band hit with a two-million-selling single, “Take Your Time (Do It Right),” their first time out. The Atlanta-born band started in 1977, when 6 of the members formed a group called Santa Monica that played at Atlanta nightclub the Regal Room.

Sept. 19

Elvis Extravaganza / 7:30 P.M.Regional Elvis Impersonator Contest complete with live show band, horns and singers. Contestants compete for cash and prizes and a spot in the National Finals next year in Florida.

Sept. 16-17

Grand Funk Railroad / 8:00 P.M.In the late 60’s, Don Brewer and Mark Farner had just departed from their previous band and teamed up with bass player Mel Schacher, to form the power trio. Their name came from the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, which ran through their home state.

Sept. 20

Beatlemania LIVE! / 3:00 P.M.Close your eyes, and you’ll swear it’s the Beatles! Beatlemania LIVE has complete, authentic costume changes to accompany the music from every Beatles era. Beatlemania LIVE captures the original sound of many of the Beatles greatest hits including: “Yesterday,” “Penny Lane,” and many more.

STUDENT ART

Leaders in arts and education will join forces on Wednesday, September 10 for the Oklahoma State Fair’s benefit auction of award-winning works, selected from the 2014 Oklahoma Student Art Exhibition. The event -- celebrating the State Fair’s 2014 theme: GET YOUR FAIR ON -- will establish a college scholarship fund for Oklahoma’s most promising visual artists.

The evening will salute the creativity of these young artists and help to continue the Creative Programs at the Oklahoma State Fair Scholarship Fund. The 2014 V.A.S.E. scholarship recipients will be recognized during the night. The event will also recognize the first Oklahoma Student Art Exhibition Teacher of the year, Nancy McGee from Pauls Valley. McGee works with junior high and high school art students.

Oklahoma Student Art ExhibitionOKLAHOMA CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER

For more than 40 years, the Oklahoma State Fair’s Student Art Exhibition has supported students and teachers in public, private, and parochial schools across Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Fair takes pride in offering schools an opportunity to display its students’ work to approximately one million State Fair visitors each year.

In May, teachers from across the state entered more than 1,100 individual pieces of artwork into this year's competition. Out of all the entries, 690 pieces were selected for display. In addition to their artwork being on display during “Oklahoma’s Premier Family Attraction,” 162 elementary, middle, and high school students won individual honors for their talents.

Artwork is on display during the 11-day run of the Fair.
