[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.4428]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Grass and paved roads, and a surprising layout of buildings, are shown in this aerial photo of the grounds of the Oklahoma State fair. It was taken from the main entrance on May avenue, looking west, as the fair was getting set for the September 24 opening. The three race tracks, grandstand and stage can be seen in the lower left. That circle of paving in the background, just above the grandstand, is the new layout for the carnival. Anf that huge bare space is the location of the newly proposed arena for big conventions and livestock shows. The exact circle, upper right, is the center of the whole grounds, with the women's and appliance buildings just to the lower left of the circle; livestock barns upper center of the picture, agricultural building just above the circle, and the Future Farmers of America and 4-H buildings to the right. You can see the lagoon near the entrance. Some day it will be the center of a year-around kiddie land and picnic area of the city's dreams come true."
