How good are you at Okie trivia?

Day two of our Oklahoma Almanac celebration! We especially love the Almanac because it’s just chock full of fun facts for every trivia buff on topics ranging from the state’s emblems, Rhodes scholars, and the fourteen flags that flew over Oklahoma to the territorial and state governors, U.S. marshals, and Oklahoma Hall of Fame inductees.

Try your hand at this Oklahoma trivia. I’ll have the answers for you tomorrow:

1. What is the English translation of the Choctaw word “Oklahoma”?

2. What are the two major river basins in the state?

3. What is the State Flower?

4. How many flags have flown over the land that became the State of Oklahoma? What was the first flag to fly over this land?

5. The Department of Tourism and Recreation has divided the state into six “countries” for the purposes of marketing. Can you name Oklahoma’s six tourist countries?

6. The Governor and the State Arts Council have recognized eleven of our state’s citizens as Oklahoma Cultural Treasures. Who was named the state’s first Cultural Treasure?

7. The names of five Oklahoma counties begin with the letter “G.” Can you name them?

8. What is the largest Oklahoma county in land area? What is the smallest?

9. What Oklahoma Governor never married?
