City still supports ASTW run
Rumors that the city of El Reno is out to do away with A Small Town Weekend are greatly exaggerated.
That was the message from City Councilman Dr. Brian Shafer at last week’s council meeting.
While city leaders said the popular Route 66 event is important for the community in a number of ways, there are liability concerns.
Especially with the Sunday afternoon drag races.
City Manager Matt Sandidge said drag racing on Route 66 “gives our public safety officials and legal counsel concern.”
