Are you
feelin' peachy?
Today we are discussing the Porter Peach Festival
in Porter,
Oklahoma.
The Porter Peach Festival celebrates the area crop of peaches
with a myriad of activities and events perfect for a summer day
with the family. Pick peaches at nearby orchards, then head to
Porter's downtown Main Street for arts and crafts, games, live
music and a wide variety of fair food. This old-fashioned festival
also includes carnival rides, a Peach Pageant and much more.
Clarksville, a settlement four miles south of present day
Porter was the birthplace of Pleasant Porter, who later became
chief of the Creek Nation. Incorporated in 1905, the town's name
honored Pleasant Porter. By 1907 statehood, there were three banks,
two cotton gins and a thriving community with a school and
churches.
