The Chisholm Trail Arts Council’s ArtWalk Duncan (AWD) is an annual fine arts, music festival that will be held on Saturday, June 25th from 10:30am to 11:00pm. Local artists, and artists from across the state of Oklahoma will be a part of this event. Artists will have their fine art on display and items for sell… with works ranging from photography, wood working, garden sculptures, painting, pottery, hand-made jewelry and much, much more. There will be live entertainment throughout the day and a FREE CONCERT in the park featuring Kaitlin Butts at 7:30pm. With vocals that throw you back to the honesty of early female honky-tonkers, and with that nostalgia refreshingly uncontrived, this Oklahoman sings her songs with 50 years of heartbreak in her voice, though she is not even half that age. Kaitlin’s music has recently received praise from Music blog, Red Dirt/Blue Collar. To find out more about Artist Booths, Sponsorships, or event information, please call 580-252-4160.

Last but not least, rodeo fans will want to catch The Little Britches Rodeo Association’s Finals at the Stephens County Fair and Expo Center located on Hwy 81 S. This is one of the major junior rodeo associations in the nation and will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 pm.
