OKC: What to Do This Weekend

There is a lot going on in Oklahoma City this weekend, and I wanted to bring you some highlights and suggestions.

Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th:

What: The Girlie Show, an obscure art show full of local artists. $20 at the door. Catered by some of OKC’s finest, including Cafe Nova, Rococo’s, Sara Sara Cupcakes, Big Truck Tacos, and MORE!

Where: Oklahoma City Farmer’s Market, 311 S. Klein

Time: 8 PM to Midnight Friday; Noon-5 Saturday

Tips: Find me there Friday night and I’ll have a drink with you!

Saturday, November 7th:

What: Oklahoma Wine Fest, where $20 gets you a wine glass and 7 tasting tickets to sample local wines and listen to the sounds of some great local bands!

Where: 50 Penn Place, 5000 N. Pennsylvania Ave.

Time: 11 AM to 8 PM

Tips: Find Russell the Wine Guy from Summerside Vineyards and he will become your next best friend!

Saturday, November 7th:

What: 2009 Chili Hacks Cookoff, where you can mix and mingle with attorneys and politicians and sample some of the best chili the locals can make. I’ve heard that some booths make you take shots before you sample the chili.

Where: Macklanburg-Duncan Park, 5901 E. Britton Road (No, I’ve never been there, either).

Time: HIGH NOON (cooking starts at 9:00 AM)

Tips: You can still sign up to be a cook or a sponsor. I’ll be there – look for me at the booth with J.D. and JoJo, featuring their famous “Skull Creek Chili” – no skulls involved.

As always, please feel free to send photos, comments, and feedback from any events you attend. Have a great weekend!
