Before we get to this article, I should probably break some site news.
After a solid seven-year run and one minute of deliberation over lunch at the I-240 Charleston's, we've decided to retire our Oklahoma State Fair Photo Contest. Yeah, I know. Charleston's is a cliché place to grab lunch, but their soup and salad combo is quite delicious.
In all seriousness, this is kind of sad news. It's worse than taking home a carnie or eating a soggy corn dog! Okay, it's not that bad, but still, the contest was fun and we'll kind of miss it. We considered everything from "It's getting old" to "Let's pull a Seinfeld and quit while on top" to "It's time we finally appease the sensitivity police" in pulling the plug. Regardless of the reason, the contest felt like it had run its course like an old monorail.
