Editor’s Note: This is the second of two parts of the story about 16 Cheyenne and Arapaho children whose remains were reclaimed from the cemetery at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. The United States created the school in the late 1800s as a way to “assimilate” Indian children into the ways of the prevailing culture. The remains of the children were brought home to Concho and in an October ceremony were buried on their native land. 

The holiday season in El Reno officially arrived over the weekend with the annual Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.

Victoria Lee said some kind of message hit her several weeks ago. The feeling and thoughts that came over her resulted in her own very personal toy story. 

“A few weeks ago, my heart told me to raise funds for El Reno children’s toys,” Lee said. “Then I asked all my friends and family to donate toys or money to buy them. And they did.”

Lee said the support allowed her to reach “our goal of 100 toys quickly.”

She went on a shopping spree and bought toys for “babies up to teenagers.”

A new twist will be added to El Reno High School’s annual re-creation of Frank Capra’s beloved Christmas-themed movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Now in its sixth year, the production is shifting away from a live radio broadcast format in favor of a live-action production. It will be held inside the EHS auditorium.

“We started the radio broadcast due to COVID-19. This year we wanted to do something different and make it more special,” said director and EHS educator Stacy Haberland.

Centre Theatre for the Arts will host nationally acclaimed comedian William Lee Martin for his holiday comedy show, “The Nuttier Cracker.” The show is set for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18. 

Joining Martin on stage are two special guests: comedian Jerry Wayne Longmire, known for his sharp wit and viral social media comedy, and singer Darren Scully, bringing a festive musical flair to the evening.
