Fair-Time Notes & Reminders

Tulsa State Fair Oct 1-11, 2015
Every fall our quiet little neighborhood becomes ground zero for the fun and festivities that are the Tulsa State Fair.
While most visitors come and go without incident, here are some tips for coping with the crowds:
  • Mayo Meadow Neighborhood Assn. (MMNA) has worked with the City for the last ten years to control parking and crowds in the neighborhood during the Fair. It is important that you communicate with the City immediately if you see any laws being broken or your property abused.
  • Neighbors in the far northern part of the neighborhood will receive a letter about restrictions and regulations during this time. But if you see problems in any part of the neighborhood, call the cops.
  • If possible, park your cars in the driveway and lock them.
  • If you have to park on the street, do not leave any valuables visible and lock your car.
  • Fair visitors are not allowed to block access to your driveway or any other part of your property. Call the police immediately if you find yourself in this situation. The offending car will be towed and ticketed.
  • Leave your porch light or front hall light on in the evening
  • Tuck your lawn furniture and other valuables away if they are in the front or side yards.
  • About a week before the Fair a “no right turn” sign will mysteriously appear at 21st and Pittsburg. For those of us who routinely make right turns at the corner the rest of the year, be prepared to be surprised and ticketed.
  • If you can find an alternative route during the Fair, it might be quicker to take that route, as traffic will increase in the neighborhood about a week before the Fair as vendors and other businesses will be coming to the area.
