Registration for the 23rd Annual A Small Town Weekend is looking good, said El Reno Cruisers spokesman Allen Conner. The event is set for June 4-6 and is attracting participation from across Oklahoma and elsewhere.

FRIDAY June 4, 2021  ▶ Swap Meet: Located inside Adams Park. The event runs from 8 a.m. until dark. ▶ Golf Outing: Played at Crimson Creek Golf Course. The event starts at 7 a.m.

The El Reno Police Department has one clear message to those wanting to burn rubber on city streets: “Pay 10 bucks and come to A Small Town Weekend,” said Lt. Brian Hickman.

The 23rd Annual A Small Town Weekend will not only pay tribute to America’s love affair with classic cars and Route 66, it will also serve as a fundraiser for the Redlands Community College women’s golf program.

While it may not garner the kind of attention of a burnout or drag race, the swap meet at A Small Town Weekend is the place to be if you’re in the market for automotive items, a purse, metal wall décor or custom glitter tumblers. Or just something good to eat.

While the youngsters won’t be hitting the gas or smoking the tires, the level of competition will be the same as the popular Hot Wheels races return to the 2021 A Small Town Weekend schedule.
