After a long wait, our 2011 Oklahoma State Fair Photo Contest begins today with our first group of semi-finalists.
Before we get to the pics, I'd like to thank all the Ogle Moles who emailed us photographs from the Oklahoma State Fair. In all, we received 62 emails and about 150 photos. This year's field was really deep. There were about 60 photos that we seriously considered for the semi-finals, and whittling those 60 down to a final 20 was a pretty difficult process. In fact, it was so difficult that during the elimination stages Clark Matthews cried like the day he learned Eskimo Joe's shirts were no longer cool.
