Disclaimer

Once again the question has come up about money given to me and passes from the Tulsa State Fair.

I have been working with the Tulsa State Fair for many years and believe me they would not tolerate any dishonesty from anyone! Brandi Herndon is my boss; my go to person and you may reach her by phone at 918-744-1113 ext. 2104 to verify this.  I furnish the sheep, the pen help, and pay all the cost for putting on the sheep trial except for maintenance people, belt buckles, and ribbons donated by the Tulsa State Fair.  I have been given no money ever for either trial and the only gifts have been the same as they give the other superintendents: t-shirts, pen sets, and pocket knives, and the last two years I failed to go pick up my gift.  I receive a ten day pass and a parking pass each year.  THAT IS IT!

As always feel free to call me at 918-260-9461 where I will try to answer your question and address your problems.

Sincerely,
Mike
