The Great Land Run in 1889 is where the unassigned lands were opened. This activity made it possible for the first Oklahoma settlers to acquire their lands. The Norman Day Parade and Festival was created to celebrate this wonderful event. The City of Norman will partial fund this festival while the other half will be funded by individuals and businesses. Then a group of volunteers will be organizing the events for this festival.
The festival will be on April 17 and April 18, 2009. The 89er Wagon Train Association will be on April 17, 2009 from 7; 00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Then on April 18 starting from 10:00 A.M. at the Downtown area of Norman Oklahoma there will be a 89er Day parade. Then at noon the Blue Grass Festival will start at the Moore Lindsay Historical Museum.
The city of Norman got its name from an 1870 young surveyor Abner Norman who was commissioned to survey the Oklahoma territory. His crew burned the name Normans Camp on tree where they had their camps. When the first settlers came they saw these signs and just decided to keep the name Norman for its town.
The 89'er Wagon Train Association is composed of The Sooner, Teamsters & Trail Riders Association which holds a wagon train ride every April and one in September for the past 31 years. The train travels either on horseback, muleback, wagon or buggy from one camp area to another through the beautiful countryside of Oklahoma. If you want to plan your vacation to have some excitement and fund with a taste of adventure, this trip will be for you.
The theme for this years 89ers day parade will be Stake your ClaimMake it Green. The parade will start 10:00 A.M. on April 18, 2009. There will be no admission fee to take part of the parade. The route of the parade is Norman High School, at Main and Pickard, and goes East down Main Street to Crawford Ave.
