The grand state of Oklahoma: a colossal playground of wide open plains, majestic mountains, and sparkling lakes, all under an impossibly vast sky that paints itself in hues of sapphire and gold. It's a place where the wind whistles its secrets through the waving fields of wheat, and where the echoes of cowboys, Native Americans, and pioneers still reverberate through the land. Squatting right in the middle of this wild spectacle are the Fencing Kids of Oklahoma, the most daring, blade-wielding youngsters you could ever meet. Now don't be scared, these sprightly lads and lasses don't carry actual swords, but rather shiny metal foils, épées, and sabres. They might not be fighting off dragons or wicked witches, but these kids possess a courage that would put any storybook knight to shame. Leading this band of mini musketeers is Captain Noodle, a noodle-soup loving, spaghetti-bodied hero with a colander for a helmet. His laugh is as hearty as a good bowl of chicken noodle soup, and his fencing skills are as sharp as a well-cooked spaghetti strand. Captain Noodle has never met a pasta he didn't like or a fencing challenge he couldn't tackle. He inspires every Oklahoma fencing kid with his wit, humor, and tangly noodle dance moves. The Fencing Kids of Oklahoma and Captain Noodle offer endless laughs and teach lessons of bravery, persistence, and friendship. They may trip over their shoelaces, get tangled in their fencing gear, or even momentarily forget which end of the sword to hold, but their spirit never wavers. They always get back up, dust off their breeches, and charge forth into the next fencing adventure with a hearty "On guard!" and an infectious giggle.
