TULSA, Oklahoma -

Editor's Note: As we dig through thousands of hours of old videotapes in preparation for our move to a new building, we've come across some real treasures in our vault. We're sharing them here on NewsOn6.com.

The 33rd Bluegrass and Chili festival kicked off Thursday in Claremore.

But do you remember 30 years ago, when the festivities were held in downtown Tulsa?

In this week's offering from the KOTV Vault, Rick Wells brings us the sights and sounds and, if only he could, the smells from the 1980s.
