Holiday Time in Oklahoma October 30, 2022 Lysa Allman-Baldwin Are there any holiday craft shows in Oklahoma? As a matter of fact there are several holiday craft shows dotted around the state at this time of the year. If you are the crafty type, you will really enjoy visiting Christmas in the Barn in Marietta, the Craft Harvest Show in Lawton, and the Grady County OHCE Celebration of Crafts in Chickasha, just to name a few. Where can we enjoy winter sports in Oklahoma? People might not often think of Oklahoma as a winter sports destination, but the state is home to many fun winter sports activities. Among them is going tubing at the LifeShare Winterfest event. Held at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, it features two different slides: one for big thrills and another for milder excitement, making it a great place for people of all ages and physical abilities. Are there any fun indoor winter activity places to visit? It does get quite cold in parts of Oklahoma during the winter months, so finding fun indoor winter activities is key to still having fun.

Located in the town of Clinton, it features a lazy river, slides, a challenging water-obstacle course, and the water temperature is an awesome 83 degrees! That’ll definitely keep the chill off ya!
