OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — The Oklahoma State Fair is just days away, starting Thursday, September 11, and they want to show off the hospitality of Oklahomans with the largest collection of food for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Below is how you can participate in the EAT RIDE REPEAT Food Drive.
New attractions coming to the 2025 Oklahoma State Fair
- Bring 3 qualifying food items OR make a monetary donation.
- Get your choice of a Little Book of BIG DEAL$ coupon book OR a $5 off coupon for a same-day walk-up carnival armband.
- The coupon for an armband discount must be used on Thursday, September 11, on an armband purchased onsite only. There will be no refunds, and they will not be allowed for use on any other day or combined with any other “priced” armband.
The food items that qualify include canned goods, peanut butter, uncooked pasta, boxed dinners, rice, beans, nonperishable and non-expired, and any “shelf-stable” items.
