...The Bristow Tabouleh Fest is an annual celebration held in downtown Bristow, to

honor the town's Lebanese heritage...The festival takes place on the 2nd Saturday of May

and features a variety of activities...Along with the festival, Bristow has their annual 

Wildflower 5K run that brings many runners into our town...This 5K run is challenging.  It

starts on Main Street going up the big hill on 12 Street and takes the runners around our

city lake.    After rounding the lake, a runner has to muscle up to get to the top of 

our swimming pool hill.  After that it's pretty much downhill until the end in front of

our Municipal Building...
