Septemberfest 2009

It is time to begin planning Septemberfest 2009!!!  The date for this year’s event is Saturday, September 12, from 10am to 4pm.  This year will be the 13th annual Septemberfest on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion.  This annual event is designed to provide free entertainment and education to families on our state’s history, heritage, resources and traditions.  It is a great way for your museum to reach the citizens of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma museums are invited to submit an educational activity proposal for SeptemberFest 2009.  The goal of the Education Venue at SeptemberFest is to provide a wide variety of hands-on educational activities for children of all ages. In the Education Venue last year there were approximately 19 hands-on interactive activities for children and their families.  Each institution will be responsible for setting up their area; tables will be set up the day before. 

Other venues planned for SeptemberFest include Agriculture, Arts, Cultural, Health and Safety, Entertainment, Sports and more.  In addition to the venues, there will be committees formed to handle food, logistics, press, security, procurement, and volunteers. There is no admission fee to SeptemberFest and all activities are free. 

Space in the education venue is limited, but if you would like for OMA to distribute your museum brochures at the event, please mail 50 brochures to the OMA office.  Please contact OMA if you have any questions.
