WIND SWEPT PLAINS
I have seen a few too many1950s musicals. In high school my weekends often involved pork chops, sweet peas and mashed potatoes…and musicals like Holiday Inn, Easter Parade and Oklahoma. To this day when we play the license plate game in the car and I see an “Oklahoma” plate, we all break into song with “Oooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.” Show your love for Oklahoma with this next Call…or at least your keen knack for research.
Check out this Call for Entries for Oklahoma Friendly sponsored Oklahoma Art Guild, and in part by Oklahoma Arts Council, IAO Gallery and the National Endowment of the Arts. It is a national juried show… don’t be fooled by the name.
