Nothing is true, everything is permitted...
i know there is one is waynoka(?). over by woodward and alva area. it was fun. kind of a fish out of water for city folk, but that makes it all the better.
i make my guitar weep, but my champagne cry
I went to the one in Altus when I was a kid and it was friggin' awesome!
There were 3 30x30 chickenwire pens and each was at least 3 feet deep in the evil looking fuggers! Other than that it's like a fair or carnival with a focus on fried rattlesnake.

Be sure to wear your PETA shirt when you go just to make things interesting.
Yep, definitely Mangum. My family is from that neck of the woods and we went there a few times when I was a kid.
As a bonus some of the best burgers on the planet are in that little ol' town. I believe it's called The Hamburger Inn and it's located across the street (east) from the town square. If you're into onion fried burgers then you'll be in heaven. Last time I was there was a couple of years ago and they were truly awesome.

This is down near where I grew up.
The goobers at the Waynoka hunt burned a bunch of trucks and campers down last year. There was about a 50 mph wind blowing and some numbnuts decides to light a fire. A buddy of mine barely got his truck and camper out of there before the fire hit.
The one in Waynoka is a hunt, not a "festival." At least not when I've gone. Only real semi-crosseyed snake lovers do the Waynoka thing. The Mangum deal is for city folk and christians and the like.
Wonder if Chuck Norris won for longest snake?
To Dean's point, I did the Waynoka deal oncet.
Gentlemen, start your whacking!
Big Spring, TX Rattlesnake Roundup.
Seriously, they're all prolly about the same.
Smelly and a chance to eat some fried snake.
Apache, not bad snakes and vendors. indian dancing
Morris, PA.
might be a bit of a drive for you hillbillies.
I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.
Yep, this one is huge.
Waynoka has turned into a big biker rally thing as well. Seems like something big(bad) has happened the last few years. Last years fire, the year before that a dude ran his bike through a barbwire fence and took his and his lady's head off. The year before that someone got stabbed.
I would stick with Okeene.
