For any vendors wishing to participate in Skiatook’s Third Thursday in the Park event, the deadline is next Thursday. The chamber of commerce is no longer accepting food vendors, as they have reached capacity.

In addition to that, there will be an open rodeo at Skiatook’s RUC Arena next Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. each night. Events include bareback, ranch broncs, bulls, calf roping, team roping and more. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $5 for children and those 5 and under get in free.

“In this case we’re dealing with a Person whom fortune has gifted generously, but who has entirely failed to use their potential. Such People are bright and intelligent, but don’t apply themselves to their studies… This Venus induces a strange kind of laziness – lifetime opportunities are missed, because you overslept, because you didn’t feel like going, because you were late, because you were neglectful. It’s a tendency to be sybaritic, to live in a state of mild semiconsciousness, to fritter your life away on petty pleasures, to dislike effort and be devoid of any penchant for competition. Long mornings, unopened letters, things put off for later, abandoned projects. A dislike of any authority and a refusal to submit to it, going your own way in a taciturn, idle manner. You could say such people are of no use at all.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 227-228, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
