Well, Chandler has you covered with the Hog Wild BBQ Festival June 23-24 at 1113 Joe Long Drive where your those festivals, but don’t tell anyone, okay? taste buds matter and your kids can burn off all that excess energy and watch fireworks Friday evening. Bring your own secret sauce and call out all the locals for a chance for trophy-dom or just sit and eat while the kids cut loose cuz getting Hog Wild is way overrated. Chandler is located just on I-44 west of Tulsa. For more info visit www. chandlerareachamberok. com or call (405) 258-0673. While some festivals aren’t touting ‘FOOD’ in the title, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t. As a matter of fact, if you love food like we do, you should start a letter writing campaign that any festival where the food rocks should have food in the title. Meh, never mind, sounds like a lot of work. And more people will show up and things will get crazy. We’re gonna give you a taste, a snackish sampling of We‘llgive you a taste of the latest in these parts – the food truck. Hated by some local businesses, the food truck has been nicknamed all kinds of bad things in the past only to come out smelling like a dish you’d love to eat. Some towns decided to embrace this wave of the future: namely Stillwater and Norman. Norman’s Beats & Bites Festival is slated for the Riverwind Casino June 10 where you can sample while you check out some new music. They’ve gathered up the best of Norman and kids are welcome too. Get specifics on this fest and future ones at www. riverwind.com or call (405) 322-6000. If you miss Norman’s truck treats, Stillwater’s got your stomach with their Fridays, Food Trucks & Tunes June 16 in DT Stillwater at E. 8 th & Duncan. Held every third Friday, their effort to take it to 11 succeeds when OSU’s pre-game excitement gets started. Lots for the kids to do while you catch the pregame show.
