Thursday 10.21

Bier, Brats and Lederhosen. Finally, Oktoberfest has made its way back to Tulsa. Named one of the country's top 10 Oktoberfests, this year is bound to out-drink, out-eat and out-perform years past. Come out and compete to be the best bier barrel racer, cluck along with the chicken dance, get sick on the carnival rides or just enjoy the festivities while throwing back an authentic German cold one. Taking over River West Festival Park, 2100 S. Jackson Ave., Oktoberfest only lasts until October 24. Admission for adults is $6 and children 12 and under are free. Visit tulsaoktoberfest.org for more information.

Friday 10.22

Scary Prospects. A little scare for every soul, the Haunted Manor, 5681 S. Mingo Rd., houses seven attractions that might just cause hearts of steel to fail. Whatever your greatest fear may be -- it is time to face it. Walk through Cirque De Terror and stare that clown straight in the red bulb nose, or mosey through the Zombie Zoo and do your best to avoid the walking dead. Some of the younger goblins might be interested in exploring Mad Doctor's Looney Lab. Spooking Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the remainder of October, the gates creak at 7pm. Showing up for this scare spectacular will benefit the Oklahoma chapter of the National MS Society. To get scared for a good cause the cost is $12 or $10 for those under 10.
