The Cowboy Cup was held at the beginning of December in Stillwater and it was a great community gathering. Daniel Lewis, the organizer behind this epic event, did a great job creating a sense of family, education, fun, and excitement. Tumbleweed Dance Hall is off the beaten path but is an adventure waiting to happen and the perfect place to hold the first Oklahoma grown Cannabis Cup.
When I first arrived on Saturday afternoon, it was very easy to find parking and very easy to find the entrance. The greeters waiting to give out wristbands and scan tickets had the biggest smile on their faces and gave out the warmest energy. Swag bags promised to VIP only the night before were in such abundance they decided to give them to everyone that made it out on Saturday; which I think really shows the Okie kindness spirit. It is fair to note that the swag bag left a lot to be imagined, but it is also important to note that this is the first year of this event; which means there is so much room to grow!
Once I made it into the main hall, I noticed how there were heaters everywhere keeping the cold outside, where it belonged. Glass blowers and artists lined the walls auctioning off pieces for the night, with the highest bids going to a local chosen charity. Just beyond that room was a magical land of food trucks: fried turkey legs, big burgers, and alligator on a stick were just a few of the cuisines offered.
Past the food trucks, which I will admit took me a while, were the two big vendor tents. The main tent had the arcadia smoke lounge with a stage inside, and it was heated which made it for a cozy inviting environment. There were little water bins available everywhere and everyone seemed to be in high vibing positive spirits. Both tents allowed open medicating and some booths, such as Everything’s Okay, even offered a sample of their concentrates.
Robot Pharmer, Kings Coast, Vice, Stillwater Dispensary, Outpost33, and of course Herbage were but a handful of vendors ready and willing to talk about their brands. Both days also boasted a grass blower smoke sesh located right outside the tent area next to yet another sound stage (that makes a total of 3). If you haven’t had the opportunity to partake in such an activity, I highly suggest that you do. Seeing everyone in a group smiling, laughing, talking, and puffing like a magic dragon had to be a highlight of the weekend.
Another highlight of the weekend was of course the award ceremony. In case you missed it, I seriously recommend marking your calendars the moment there is a date for the next Cowboy Cup. Here are the winners in each category!
