Clytiee Markham has launched Fairly Delivers, an independent service that transports food from the Tulsa State Fair to local residents. The service operates daily from 10 a.m. until the fair closes.

Why it matters

The service provides an alternative for customers who are unable or unwilling to navigate the fairgrounds to access popular fair food items.

Fairly Delivers filled approximately 25 orders within its first three days of operation. The service charges a $10 fee for deliveries within five miles of Tulsa Expo Square and a $15 fee for locations between five and 10 miles away.

The players

Clytiee Markham

She is the entrepreneur who founded and operates the independent food delivery service Fairly Delivers.

Tulsa State Fair

This is an annual event held at Tulsa Expo Square that features various food vendors.

The details

Customers place orders by calling a phone number posted on the Fairly Delivers Facebook page. The most frequently requested items are funnel cakes and turkey legs, which Markham picks up from the fairgrounds for delivery.

Timeline

  1. October 6, 2026: Markham received a delivery request from Prue.

  2. October 7, 2026: Markham managed three pending orders around noon.

Industry Dynamics

This venture mirrors the broader shift toward decentralized, independent delivery services that capitalize on niche consumer convenience. It represents a small-scale evolution within the gig economy, as individuals leverage social media to provide specialized logistics for local events.

Residents within 10 miles of Tulsa Expo Square can now bypass the $17 fair entry fee by ordering food directly through the service. Those living further away, such as in Prue, may face challenges as delivery logistics for longer distances remain limited.

The takeaway

This service highlights a growing demand for convenience even within traditional, seasonal event settings. Potential customers should confirm delivery availability in advance, as the service is independent and not officially affiliated with the fairgrounds.
