The Mangum Rattlesnake Derby is quite an experience. No, they don't actually race the rattlesnakes, like that other derby you may have heard about. In Oklahoma when we have a derby, we round up the critters and fry 'em!
Yes, we attended the derby this year (wouldn't you???) and no, we didn't eat any fried rattlesnake. We did, however, pay our $1 each and go into the snake pit. There were way, WAY more snakes in there than I would ever like to be in a room with again. And the girls LOVED it. Colin didn't seem to care one way or another. At any rate, we can now check THAT off of our list of things to see and do in Oklahoma. Of course, this blog post would be completely useless without pics, so...

If I ever went to Oklahoma I think that is one thing I would gladly skip. Yikes! I do not like snakes.
