Without question, the State Fair of Oklahoma features quite a few reasons for pork producers to celebrate: quirky pork snacks for fairgoers to enjoy, a swine show starring 4-H and FFA members with their pigs, the AGtropolis animal birthing center, workshops for young people interested in animal careers, and much more. In many ways, the State Fair continues its original purpose of showcasing agriculture and rural traditions very well.

The Oklahoma Pork Council staff also enjoyed visiting the fair to proactively share positive stories about two of our favorite things: pigs and pork! We spent time at the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) birthing center watching countless fairgoers see with their own eyes the incredible reality of modern pig farming. We also helped facilitate constructive media attention for the birthing center, including an OKC influencer "Tiffany in OKC" visit and a promotional story on KOCO 5 News featuring footage captured by Oklahoma Pork's Shay Stegmann.

No visit to the fairgrounds is complete without taste-testing pork treats, so our staff also took time to scope out dozens of pork offerings for any appetite. Whether fairgoers are craving BBQ, breakfast food, or about anything covered in bacon - there is no shortage of memorable pork dishes available. Make sure you are well hydrated for the heat and put on your stretchy pants to go see for yourself before the fair wraps up this Sunday, September 21.
