The Porch Visits The Oklahoma State Fair On Opening Day

As the Oklahoma State Fair kicks off Thursday morning, staff and security at the fair are preparing for large crowds to make their way into State Fair Park.

The Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch made its way to the fair to preview what's new this year.

Scott Munz, executive vice president of marketing for Oklahoma State Fair, said one of the things visitors this year can look forward to are new rides.

"The Kraken is the spectacular carnival ride that they brought in for the first time," Munz said. "It takes you 140 feet into the air and spins you around."

In addition to new rides, there is also a competition for a free car, wherein contestants must stay inside a car until there is only one person left.
