Editor’s Note: This is the first of two installments concerning the remains of 16 Cheyenne and Arapaho children reclaimed from the cemetery at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. The United States created Carlisle in 1879 as a way to “assimilate” Indian children, many from Oklahoma, into the ways of the prevailing English culture. The remains of the Cheyenne and Arapaho children were brought home to Concho and in an October ceremony were reinterred on their native land.

El Reno captured another Route 66 grant that will help move the project known as “The Hub” forward and if all goes to plan, keep visitors in town a little longer.

City Manager Matt Sandidge said El Reno was awarded $725,000 from the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission on Tuesday.

Sandidge is a member of the commission. He abstained from the El Reno vote.

For the 42nd year, the Kennedy Family El Reno Community Christmas Eve Dinner will be offered to one and all in a celebration of the true meaning of Christmas.

Dwight Kennedy and his family, with help from community volunteers, have prepared a Christmas Eve dinner for the entire community since the first event in 1981. The dinner was interrupted a few years when Kennedy and his family moved to Stillwater. But upon their return to El Reno it was resurrected and has been a community-wide Christmas celebration since.
