The Library hosted Marty Tipton, also known as the Oklahoma Kid, as our weekly performer on June 26th.
Marty is a 4th generation Wild West Show performer, with ties to the 101 Ranch and is a distant relation to Will Rogers.
Marty enthrall the audience with stories of Oklahoma history, wild west show performers that his family has been associated with, and with his roping skills.
The rain kept us in the building, so Marty had to tone it down a bit, but it was still clear that he has a talent for roping.
After his demonstration, Marty loaned out kid-sized ropes, and taught the kids roping basics. Marty was very entertaining, education and kid-friendly. We look forward to having him visit again soon.
