See a 1970s Trip to Tulsa State Fair & Bell's - Vintage America 

Anyone recognize this family? Or anyone else pictured here?

Not a cellphone in sight! Beautiful!

Absolutely fantastic watching this, I’m 59 yrs old now & that little boy in the video could have very well been me. My aunt & uncle lived at 1527 Knoxville and I would always want to go to Bells when we visited.

That loud music coming from Himalya was awesome. We went every year & rode it. Remember the ring cleaners? We don't go anymore, it cost like 100x more.

I miss the old Himalaya ride at Bell's. Thanks for sharing Jack.

That's everyone's childhood. Thank you!!!

Neat, I was one in 1970. We lived in Kansas, but had and have family near Tulsa.

Your restoration on this is astounding!!! Fantastic work. What memories... shocked none of the shots included the old KELI radio building on the midway. I hope you find this family, I'm sure these would be incredible memories for them to see again.

Such peaceful days of Innocence! You wouldn't even know we were in the middle of the bloodiest era of the Vietnam war, there were dangerous protests around the country. All forgotten for a day of happiness! I just retired in Tulsa about 7 years ago! I love it here!

Lived there and Bells was a summer time staple. We loved riding everything but i remember at some point they shut the cable cars down.

Great video with really good music that captures the Tulsa vibe / when I hear jazz music, I think of Tulsa

I know I went with buddies in 1971 at 16 years old. In one building they were selling "bootleg" 8-track tapes at a big discount. I bought the albums Golden Biscuits by Three Dog Night and L.A. Woman by The Doors. Otherwise we ran around the fair, probably checking out the girls. 😂

I can smell the funnel cake, cotton candy, caramel apples, and popcorn from here. Wait, I had to ensure nothing stuck to my shoe [flashbacks]. Sir, I'm not a religious man, but dangit, your efforts are a blessing.👼 Thank you!

I was going to the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City in the 70's.

Looks like everyone had a good time at the Tulsa state fair in the 1970’s! Those rides they took were a little too fast for viewing-do they still have the fair or has anything changed since that time? Good hi. Home film! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

The good ole days before gangs and corrupt politics shut down Bells. I was lucky enough to get to go on my birthday for a few years when I was in grade school.

It was kind of weird and sad the day I realized i was too big and too old for the kiddie rides.

Where is Zingo?

Do you want to go faster???

Great music! But sounds more like Chicago than Tulsa...
