Statehood Centennial Sites

Good afternoon! Its been a great day, we have been on an adventure to the Old Round Barn on Route 66 in Arcadia, and a sashay thru "Pops" . We went first to Pops, which unfortunately was out of water today, so the restaurant part was not open, but that did not hinder us from enjoying the unique building with its glass walls filled with pop bottles (filled of course. ) Neither of us recognized any of the labels on the pop bottles, but they are pretty and very different. We were looking for a Nehi Grape Soda - if its there we didn't find it. The gift shop is huge, and filled with tee shirts of all kinds, advertising Pops of course, and in many different ways. Some of them had Oklahoma Centennial on them also. They were $18. in case you would like to indulge yourself. We didn't. Took several pictures inside and of course of the huge big pop bottle image outside.
After buying two candy bars, we traveled on down the mother road to the Round Barn. Back to the candy, have you tried the new Three Musketeers Bars that are dark chocolate and mint? um um good. On to the barn, it is something to see, and is very well preserved. A nice gentleman named Mr. Sam gave us a little back ground of when the barn was built (1898), and the families that farmed in the area. Mr Sam is 81, and still farming about three miles down the road from the Barn. He said he was "haying" tomorrow. We went up stairs to the loft and admired the round roof and the lovely wood floor (by the way, there will be a big Square Dance there on Oct. 31st) The ingenuity of the early settlers is amazing. If you haven't been there you should really go. On the way home . On the road home (south on Spencer Road) saw three camels and a lama or two. I'd like to say the Camels waved,
but they really didn't, Fun day hope yours was also.
