Next up: the parade

GUTHRIE–Gov. Charles Haskell has been sworn in as governor, just as he was 100 years ago on this spot at the Carnegie Library.

The re-enactment ended with a children’s choir singing the state song, “Oklahoma!” People dispersed, lining the streets where the parade will begin at 11:30. As the day warms up and the parade and picnic nears, the streets are filling up with revelers, ready to celebrate the state’s 100^th birthday.

People will be able to see the parade all along the route and on large TV monitors scattered along the streets. The state Tourism and Recreation Department is offering a broadcast to fill the time, interviewing locals and setting the scene for those waiting for the parade.
