The side of the building is red brick, but a majority of the mural is on a light blue background. Featured is the old water tower, referencing the Ringling Blue Devils, their sports mascot, and complementing the tower is the Blue Devil emblem and an old railroad crossing sign. A boy enjoys fishing for catfish under a tree and a windmill, while a map of the State of Oklahoma shows notable cities and ranches (along with cattle brands) along the Chisholm Trail corridor. Cattle, cowboys, and wild turkeys dot the landscape, and it just couldn't be a Ringling mural without a reference to the Ringling Brothers, in the form of a red circus banner. A Native American village complements a scene of oil drilling, and there is a deer and an old tractor. Ringling High School's big "R" is flanked by notes regarding their football and softball championships.
