Fairies, Gnomes, & Celebrity Chefs: Exploring Will Rogers Gardens and Choctaw Casino Takeovers

Is there a secret kingdom hidden in the heart of Oklahoma City? This week, Brett and Harley are tracking down the "Gnome on the Range" at the historic Will Rogers Gardens. We dive into the magical world of fairy houses and gnome homes handcrafted by Robert Trobaugh of the OKC Parks Department. From "turtle traffic jams" to Easter Island-style sculptures, discover why this 30-acre oasis is the ultimate "Oklahoma Disney movie." In this episode, we discuss: The Fairy Kingdom of 405: How Robert Trobaugh uses salvaged materials to build a five-star resort for mythological creatures. Will Rogers Gardens Gems: The Ed Lycan Conservatory's massive cacti collection and the historic WPA-era red stone shelters. Garden Bouncers: Why the "gazillion" turtles and koi are the real bosses of the park. Family Magic: Tips for starting your own fairy garden (and how to save your bank account from "miniature furniture" debt). Break: Think Ability Inc. We spotlight Think Ability Inc., a Duncan-based non-profit providing independent living support for people with developmental disabilities.
