TULSA, Okla. -

Oklahoma's oldest restaurant, which happens to be in Tulsa, is celebrating a big milestone.

Ike's Chili, on 11th and Rockford, celebrates 114 years Saturday with a classic car show, giveaways and raffles for big prizes.

Money made from the raffle will go to Helpless Hounds Dog Rescue.

Plus, drinks and chili dogs were only a dollar and 14 cents in honor of the anniversary.

One of the restaurant's owners, Led Wade, says it's the customers who keep the restaurant going.

"You know, I get people who come in here all the time and tell me they remember Grandma and Grandpa bringing them in here and sitting them down and having some chili, and so they come in here and it's all part of their memory," said owner Len Wade.

The festivities come despite Ike's Chili being vandalized for the third time this year only two weeks ago.
