Septemberfest

For many folks, the closest they get to a farm is passing one along the highway. Yet agriculture is one of the state's largest industries, contributing $7.1 billion annually to the state's economy. In fact, Oklahoma agriculture represents 10% of the state's gross domestic product and provides one of every six jobs. Which is why each September, Oklahoma’s governor opens up the governor’s mansion grounds for Septemberfest. An annual event that gives city folks a taste of country life.
