oklahoma and arkansas share a long border just shy of 200 miles. oklahoma to the west, arkansas to the east. as you move along the border, there are parts of oklahoma and arkansas that kind of blend together, whether you are in westville or summers or remy or dora or octavia, as you hop across one side of the border to the other, it's hard to see where one state begins and one state ends. they share that border. they share the arkansas river. they even share a fair. it's the arkansas-oklahoma state fair. runs about a week. rides, hog races, an alligator show, there's a milking competition.
