16 Undeniable Reasons Why Everyone Should Love Oklahoma

We have many reasons to love our great state. This list barely scratches the surface. Here are 16 reasons why we love you Oklahoma…

1.) Scenery- From spectacular prairies to lush green country, we have diversity in our topography.

2.) Food- You will find delicious food all over the state...especially some mouth-watering barbecue. As some say, "U Need No Teeth to Eat Our Beef!"

3.) The Bedlam Series- We have one of the most intense college football rivalries in the country-OU vs. OSU...watch out on game day if you are a house divided. No matter which side you are on, you will find the fans proudly sporting their favorite team.

4.) Artistic Culture- Art and culture thrive in Oklahoma. We have some amazing museums, music venues, art festivals, theaters and just some cool art around the state.

5.) The People- We take care each other. We are friendly. We are compassionate.

6.) Low Cost of Living- Build new or buy used, either way you are going to get a great deal on home prices.

7.) American Indian Culture- We have over 250,000 American Indians living in Oklahoma. Experience the culture at the Red Earth Museum or attend the festival every year in OKC.

8.) Exciting Weather- Thunderstorms roll in and we grab a lawn chair, a beer and a camera and go outside to watch it roll by.

9.) Quiktrip- Simply put...the benchmark of convenience stores. Try taking a road trip without QT and you will come crawling back to OK.

10.) Easy-Access Airports- Not only are we centrally located in the country, but our airports have much lighter traffic and crowds than other states. We also offer some great non-stops now to Orlando, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, and many more.

11.) Church on Every Corner- There is a reason we are the buckle of the "The Bible Belt." Pick your denomination, pick your corner and you are sure to find a church to fit your liking.

12.) Great Choices for Higher Education- There are several top-rated private and public colleges around the state.

13.) Four Seasons- We get to experience it all...sometimes all in one day.

14.) Country Music-Home to many country music stars, such as Blake Shelton, Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire and many more.

15.) Oklahoma City Thunder- Catch a game at Chesapeake Arena in OKC and feel the buzz. Everyone in Oklahoma loves to Thunder UP!

16.) Lakes- With more shoreline than the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts combined, our lakes are a breath of fresh air.
