Governor Stitt Signs Proclamation for Oklahoma’s State Fairs America 250 Celebration
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Stitt, signed a proclamation dedicating Oklahoma’s state fairs as public centers of celebration to recognize the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Understanding the ability state fairs hold to bring citizens together to honor agriculture, showcase livestock and celebrate the traditions that shape our nation, ODAFF will partner with America 250 to support this initiative.
“Oklahoma’s state fairs have long served as an opportunity for families and communities to gather in support and celebration of our rural way of life and production agriculture,” said Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur. “We are excited to partner with America 250 to honor the birth of our country, and the role state fairs play in bringing American citizens together.”
Beginning on July 3, 2025, join ODAFF and America 250 to celebrate United States agriculture. Over the course of this next year, be prepared for upcoming events at Oklahoma’s state fairs and ways to get involved in recognizing the 250th anniversary of our nation.
