Join us on Friday, August 8th from 7-11PM as we transform the Plaza District into a “Boardwalk Carnival” at LIVE! on the Boardwalk, presented by Fowler Volkswagen of Norman and Oklahoma Employees Credit

Union!

Bring your family & friends out to play some carnival games and catch the Oklahoma Employee Credit Union’s Treat Trike - they’ll be passing out free light up Yo-Yos for all your dog walking and cat’s cradle

needs.

Atlantis is flooding the Plaza! We’re having a “Mermaid Fashion Show” at 8:30PM in front of Dig It! We’ll have 3 awesome prizes generously provided by Fowler Volkswagen of Norman. Come dressed to make a splash,

and show us your fins on Instagram with #Plazagram. Not a mermaid? Come dressed as your favorite carny/sideshow character and hang out with The Bearded Lady, the Strongman, and the 2 Headed Baby.

And since you’re so good looking, we’ll have photo booths at Out on a Limb & PhotoArt Studios. Out on a Limb is the newest member of our Plaza Family so let’s welcome them at their Grand Opening party!

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

Lori Ford

“When I volunteer at Plaza District events, I feel like my enthusiasm is best described as “Re-Local.” Introducing

people to the Plaza District, supporting locally-owned businesses and volunteering at local events are three avenues where I personally connect and feel like I am

actually making a difference in the local economy. I am happy to help the Plaza District and Live On the Plaza.”
