Get ready for a varied sporting schedule in August.
In Tulsa, Expo Square is the hub for all things horse: The National Snaffle Bit Association’s World Show happens Aug. 8-17; the Reining Classic runs Aug. 23-21; and simulcast horse racing can be watched at the venue all month long. And, of course, America’s favorite pastime is going strong at the ONEOK Stadium: Drillers games happen Aug. 12-17 and 26-31.
Speaking of baseball, you can catch the OKC Comets in action at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark Aug. 1-3, 12-17 and 26-31. Other OKC events include the American Quarter Horse Youth World Championship, Aug. 1-10 at the OKC Fairgrounds, as well as refreshing Sunset Paddles events, hosted by Riversport OKC, running Aug. 9 and 20 at the Boathouse District. Stick around Riversport for the OklaFlow Finals Aug. 15-17 – there, you’ll see some of the nation’s best surfers hit the Riversport waves.
Around the state, get ready to rodeo. The Yukon FFA IPRA Rodeo runs Aug. 2-3 at the Canadian County Cowboy Church Arena in Yukon; the Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo stomps into town Aug. 4-9 at Vinita’s American Legion Rodeo Grounds; and the Cinmarron River Stampede Rodeo takes place on Aug. 7-10 at the Waynoka Rodeo Grounds.
