Oklahoma Steam Threshing & Gas Engine Association Annual Show
May 5-6, 2017 | 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Be sure and make time this spring to visit Pawnee and help us kick off the second fifty years of the Oklahoma Steam Threshing and Gas Engine Show. Our steam engine display area, as well as the working steam powered exhibits, are always very popular and this year should be no exception. Our featured steam engine will be the 20 Horsepower Keck Gonnerman. In a break from traditionally naming a brand of gas tractor, the “Feature Gas Tractor” will be all steel wheel tractors. This will mean that most of the featured tractors will be pre-1930. Not to be outdone, the “Feature Gas Engine” will be the Maytag line of equipment. Many folks don’t realize that the grandmother to their utility room washer was a gasoline powered work horse that also could churn butter as well as grind meat and make sausage. These features will make for an exciting look at farm life in the first half of the 20th century. As always, there will be 15 to 20 steam traction engines (steam tractors) operating “era correct” machines. Probably the most popular of these is our steam powered saw mill that operates almost nonstop during show hours. This exhibit is complemented by a cedar shingle cutting machine, a woodshop planer and other assorted timber/lumber related machines. Another crowd pleaser is our blacksmith shop, where tools and household items are hand forged from raw steel. Also, we have an early 1900s machine shop, showing how metal working machines similar to today’s were powered by steam engines. In our “Domestic Display”, located in our headquarters building, you will see displays of the items of everyday life used up until around the end of WWII. This is our newest feature and generates a lot of nostalgic thoughts for rural folks, as well as wonder from the younger more urban groups. We also host a flea market, arts and craft area, and a hobby related swap meet. The fun doesn’t stop at dusk. On Friday and Saturday evening (weather permitting) the steam engines put on a “spark show” shooting glowing cinders 50 to 60 feet into the air. As is the tradition with most shows of this type, there will be a bean and cornbread dinner for vendors and exhibitors on Thursday evening. Camping (for exhibitors) is available on the grounds. Hookups are $10 per night for water and electric and $5 for primitive. There is a dump station on the grounds. Spectator and overflow camping is available a short distance away at Pawnee Lake, also for a fee. (50 amp hookups at lake only) Come see us again, or for the very first time, and don’t let the weather bother you. The show goes on rain or shine, with many inside exhibits.

Tulsa Symphony – Firebird-Featuring Tulsa Oratorio Chorus
May 13, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.
HAYDN Symphony No. 90 KODALY Háry János Suite STRAVINSKY The Firebird Suite (1945 version) Conducted by Daniel Hege, this program is sure to elicit a smile from seasoned concertgoers and first-timers alike. Haydn’s Symphony No. 90 is not without glimpses into his humorous, prankster side. Influenced by his love for both folk music and for French impressionistic music, Kodaly was able to paint in impressionistic orchestral colors the comedic tale of a Hungarian style Don Quixote in his Háry János Suite. Stravinsky captivates listeners with his ballet music suite The Firebird. Even without the ballet theater, Stravinsky’s music summons the imagination to delight in Russian fairy tales of the magical glowing bird that can be a blessing or a curse to its owner. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223422&agency=TULSA_PAC

Something Rotten!
May 23-25, 2017 | 7:30 p.m.
Direct from Broadway, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is a “big, fat hit!” (New York Post). Set in the ‘90s – the 1590s – this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Tony® nominee Rob McClure and Broadway’s Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare (Tony® nominee Adam Pascal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “The Producers + Spamalot + The Book of Mormon. Squared!” (New York Magazine).
