TULSA, Okla. — An convention featuring taxidermy, preserved animal specimens, original horror and Halloween-inspired artwork, antiques, handcrafted oddities, quack medical devices, creepy clothing, odd jewelry, skulls, bones, and funeral collectibles came to Tulsa Expo Square on Saturday.
The Oddities and Curiosities Expo also hosted Rainy Day Revival and their Museum of Marvelous Mutations, a 1600 square foot carnival sideshow reminiscent of big top attractions of the early 1900′s.
“Our Tulsa show is going to be bigger and better than ever this year!” said Michelle Cozzaglio in a press release. Michelle owns the expo with her husband, Tony. “We’re proud to host more than 200 vendors from all over the country at this event and show them how special our hometown of Tulsa is.”
Outside of the convention, the pair own other businesses in Tulsa, Boomtown Tees and Boulevard Trash. They also operate punk festivals across the country.
The Cozzaglios have been taking The Oddities and Curiosities Expo on the road from coast to coast for the past five years after observing there was a market for this type of large scale event.
“The Oddities and Curiosities Expo was created purely out of the excitement of bringing communities we care about together through events,” said Michelle. “Honestly, we had no idea it would turn into what it has today! Our goal has always been to uplift those around us while giving everyone, including ourselves, the opportunity to truly do what they love.”
