Don't be a Friggatriskaidekaphobic!!

Downtown Enid
Friggatriskaidekaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th. There is no year without one Friday the 13th, and no year with more than three. There are two Fridays the 13th in 2007, today and July 13th. Friday the 13th is considered the unluckiest of days in many superstitions, unless you were born on Friday the 13th, in which case it is your lucky day.Fear not!! Get out and enjoy something new to downtown this year - The Jazz Stroll. What is the Jazz Stroll you ask?
This years Jazz Fest Downtown has been moved up and transformed into a downtown stroll. The Jazz Stroll will take place from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. April 13 around downtown. Begin at one location and stroll around the square from spot to spot listening to the different bands. This years line up will include — The Groovin’ G’s at On the Sidewalk Cafe, The E-Town Rhythm Kings at Panevino’s, Jim Nay at Gaslight Theatre’s Jerry Turpin Little Theatre and The Hot Club at Q-Spot (with a swing dance floor). Stacey Sanders will liven up Scribner’s Gallery and Studio.
Enid's hottest band, Philosopher Stone will be performing at Callahan’s Pub and Grille on Saturday night.
The featured Jazz Band for the two-day music festival is Matt Walsh and the Maddogs, a Chicago-style blues band from Wichita, Kansas. They will perform at Pastimes during the Jazz Stroll and then have a jazz concert at 11 a.m. April 14 at Mark Price Arena.
Also going on this weekend will be The second annual Smokin’ Red Dirt State Championship Cookoff. Top teams will be competing for a chance to make a spot in the National BBQ cookoff in Kansas City. The weather might be cold but the BBQ is going to be hot!! Most cookoff activities will take place at Mark Price Arena.
Friday night will feature an outdoor concert featuring Jason Savory, a Rib Eating Contest and a Firework Show - weather permitting. Saturday will be all about the contest. Cooks will be serving up their best dishes for the judges. Total prize money will be $7,500 and the top teams may be invited to the Kansas City cookoff.
