Take a Break

Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled program, but there’s breaking news from Claremore and Oologah where it will soon be spring. Hold on a second. While there’s certainly news to be had that the Will Rogers Memorial Museum and the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch will have five afternoons of free spring break activities for kids aged seventeen and younger, but is it really breaking? The action vacillates between the memorial and ranch each day, starting with a behind-the-scenes look at the museum on Monday and a kids’ tractor pull on Tuesday. March 14-18. Admission, Free. okhistory.org

Skinny Microphones

Come on down to the BOK Center in Tulsa for The Price is Right Live, the traveling stage show that’s given more than $12 million in cash and prizes to audiences across the country. Tickets ensure guests can watch the whole show, but anyone can sign up for a chance to play Plinko, Cliffhangers, or to spin the Big Wheel by going to the box office a few hours before the show. Someone might win a new car, but it’s best to have another ride planned out in advance in case it doesn’t work out. March 15. Tickets, $29.50-$59.50. bokcenter.com

Beans, Corn, Squash

Get to know a few of the most important crops to Native American tribal history during the Three Sisters Celebration at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur. With both in-person and virtual activities for the whole family, it’s a great way to celebrate the changing seasons and learn about how beans, corn, and squash became so ingrained in tribal culture. March 15-19. Admission, $6-$7. chickasawculturalcenter.com

Cracking Up

"Break a leg" is considered lucky in the theater world, so we'll just wish for you art lovers to break an egg on winning a piece of Omelette Party art. Guests can enjoy the Omelette Party Art Raffle: Eggs-hibition of Local Artists while the pieces from local artists are on display on the third floor of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Purchase raffle tickets for $5 in person or online for the chance to take home some great art while keeping the museum going for another year. March 16-19. Admission, $5-$12. okcmoa.com

William Struby's piece "There is Here" is one of many on display at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Omelette Party Art Raffle.

Smelly Celebration

The seasons are changing and so are our outfits. Nowhere is this truer than Kingston’s Lake Texoma, which hosts its annual Burning of the Socks at the various marinas. There will be cookouts aplenty, a chili competition, golf cart parades, live music, and activities for the kids. And at the end of the night, guests are encouraged to toss their socks in the bonfire and put on their sandals to welcome in the spring. March 19. Admission, Free. texomaconnect.com
