'The Boys From Oklahoma' concert series takes over Stillwater, Oklahoma State University
The Boys From Oklahoma concert series wrapped up night one in Stillwater on Thursday.
Fans came out in full force to see performances from Red Dirt pioneers The Turnpike Troubadours and Cross Canadian Ragweed.
Who are “The Boys From Oklahoma”?
“Boys from Oklahoma” is a reference to a popular song by the band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, who got their start playing in Stillwater bars.
The band broke up in 2010, and many fans thought they would never reunite.
OSU officials involved in the planning process for the concert event said the band knew the reunion had to happen in Stillwater, where their first fans originated.
The other bands appearing include Turnpike Troubadours, Stoney LaRue and the Great Divide. All the bands performing have ties to Oklahoma.
What do concertgoers need to know?
The doors opened at 4 p.m. on Thursday and 3:30 p.m. the rest of the weekend.

This executive order will activate the State Emergency Operations Plan, which directs state agencies to make resources available to protect those impacted. These efforts will be coordinated by the Oklahoma Department of Emergency

The governor said additional counties are still being assessed and may be added to the declaration.
