Tulsa, OK – The Tulsa State Fair opens tomorrow afternoon at 5p.m.

This afternoon, the midway rides are getting a final inspection.

The inspections are conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Labor. Prior to the start of the inspections this morning, Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Lloyd Fields met with KWGS News on the midway to discuss the inspections and how his crews will red-flag any ride they deem to be unsafe or a ride in which the carnival operator does not have a working knowledge.
