This Tulsa Tuesday is gonna be short and sweet and random.
The Golden Driller was originally built in 1953 for the International Petroleum Exhibition. This was back when Tulsa was the "oil capital of the world", before the oil industry migrated to Houston. It is reportedly the largest free-standing statue in the world (76 feet tall).
This statue is in front of the Expo Building on the fairgrounds (where Tulsa has Home & Garden shows, boat shows, craft fairs, etc.) We went to the Tulsa JBF sale last week and it is also on the Tulsa fairgounds, thus the random picture. :)
