The Canadian County Expo and Event Center will rope in some big-time tourism dollars for the area.

Nathan Smith, the director for the soon-to-be-opened multi-purpose center, has some proof to back up that prediction.

Scheduled to open in July, the new “fairgrounds” is already attracting customers from an array of events that promise, Smith said, to bring “a lot of people to the county.”

“We’re booked every weekend until the fair and then into 2022,” Smith said, referring to the 67th Annual Canadian County Free Fair set for late August.

El Reno Public Schools will join other districts across the state in a lawsuit against the Oklahoma State Board of Education over the shifting of funding methods in favor of charter schools.

During its April meeting, the El Reno Board of Education voted 5-0 to join the lawsuit,

In an effort he said to give the El Reno Board of Education ample time to find a successor, Craig McVay made it official last week by announcing his retirement as the district’s superintendent.

McVay said he’s heard rumors of being pushed out of the position by the school board and the rumors are totally false.

El Reno slipped to 12-12 on the season with the losses and 8-2 in the District 5A-2 standings, tied for third with Guthrie.

Sidewalks and scooters are coming to El Reno, but never the twain shall meet. At least that’s the plan.

In what is being called a “pilot project,” the city council last week agreed to allow Neutron Holdings, LLC, to place Lime Mobility Devices for use in the downtown area. The vote was 5-0.

In Oklahoma, the scooters can be found in Oklahoma City and Tulsa as well as Norman, Stillwater and Guthrie.

In El Reno, the scooters will be limited to the downtown area. Sidewalks are off limits to the scooters which are rented through Smart phone technology.
