Canadian Valley Art Guild will hold a demonstration meeting featuring award-winning watercolorist and local artist Dwayne Taylor on April 13 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at United First Methodist Church, 400 Elm Avenue in Yukon.

A native of Caddo County, Taylor has pursued his career dream in art for more than 45 years. He began as a high school art instructor for three years in Anadarko and later for two years in Nowata. Success with juried art shows led Taylor to a full-time art career.

Athletes in spring sports throughout Canadian County have had to deal with freezing temperatures, high winds and wet weather in the month of March.

Forecasts for the first week of April are calling for warmer temperatures and sunshine but still dealing with the good ole Oklahoma wind.

At 1:32 a.m. and 1:37 a.m. on March 26, surrogate Kiley Wiewel Davis gave birth to Isaac Andrew Rasbold, 4 pounds, 12 ounces, and John “Jack” Ronald Rasbold, 4 pounds, 9 ounces.

Kiley then gave the identical twin boys to parents, Sarah Wiewel Rasbold and Stephen Matthew Rasbold. 

What a gift from God. Kiley is an angel. 

Maternal grandparents are Ronald (deceased) and Betty Wiewel.

Paternal grandparents are Brian and DeAnn Rasbold.

The Canadian County Association for Oklahoma Home and Community Education (OHCE) is giving four $500 scholarships to students planning to attend a two- or four-year college or university.

Usually only two are given, but enough funds were raised during the 2022 Canadian County Free Fair, with donations from the quilt block challenge and raffle, to double the number of scholarships given.
