Pretty sad:
Bell's Amusement Park's lease with the fairgrounds expired Wednesday -- and so, too, perhaps, has its future at Expo Square.
In a letter sent to Tulsa County Public Facilities Authority members on Wednesday, Rick Bjorklund, president and CEO of Expo Square, recommended the authority not renew its contract with the amusement park.
No decision has been made on how the 10.4 acres that Bell's has leased will be used in the future, Orbison said.
"The easiest thing for it to be used for short-term is parking, and that has been considered," he said. "But we keep our options open for the use of that land for any other appropriate purposes."
I'm glad I was able to visit for a couple of hours this summer. Bell's was my original homepark. It looked the same as it always has: kind of junky and over a parking lot. It does have it's skeeballish charm though, and I will miss it if it goes.
