Author: Harley Covington and Brett Manzer September 15, 2025 Duration: 45:43

This week on the Only in OK Show, we're venturing into the Kiamichi Mountains, the self-proclaimed Bigfoot Capital of Oklahoma, to talk all about the upcoming "Bigfoot at the 40 Festival and Conference" in Honobia.

Our guest, Artie Carnes is the executive director of the Kiamichi Mountains Christian Mission, who shares all the exciting details about this year's family-friendly event. Get the scoop on the dates, times, and what's new, including a bigger kid's zone, a petting zoo, pony rides, and a Choctaw 5K run. We'll also highlight the fantastic lineup of speakers and the increased variety of vendors and food trucks. Plus, after the break, we can't escape the pull of pulled pork.

Whether you're a seasoned squatcher or just looking for a fun, unique family weekend, this episode is your guide to a legendary Oklahoma event.

We'll also touch on the Nicoma Park Founders Day Celebration, Friends of Nicoma Park Museum, Liberty Fireworks, OK State Fair and the Honobia Creek Store.

Special Thanks to our partner, Enid SOS.
