In Short:
It seems like every event around the metro for the past year has been accompanied by the phrase "Official Centennial Event." And while the state's 100th birthday has certainly been a year full of celebrations, the best is yet to come. Along with the Centennial Parade, it has all been leading up to this.The Oklahoma Centennial Spectacular is perhaps the biggest collection of stars the metro has seen and figures to be one of the state's premiere events. It will also be broadcast on OKC's OETA Channel 13.
Date and Time:
The "Celebration of a Century" begins at 7pm on Friday, November 16, 2007.Location:
