The seven-acre property at 220 N. Country Club Road houses the Canadian County OSU Extension Office, Education Building, livestock barn, greenhouse and storage building.

Part of the site is rented for a truck driver training academy and booked regularly for private events.

The effort to raise funds to expand the Gold Star Plaza at Memorial Stadium has gotten off to a fast start after an anonymous donor pledged to match contributions up to $35,000 from now until Dec. 15.

El Reno High School English teacher and school historian Brian Rukes said the donor approached him with the “amazing offer” after Rukes made public the plans to add to the plaza that honors those from El Reno who gave their lives in service to the United States while serving in wars spanning from World War I through Vietnam.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported an 88-year-old El Reno man was killed last week in an accident on I-40, just east of Radio Road.

OHP reports said a 1998 Ford F-150 driven by George Miller left the eastbound lanes of I-40 for an unknown reason. The vehicle struck a fence and came to rest in a ditch.

Miller was taken by Pafford Ambulance to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City, but was pronounced deceased there.

The Oklahoma Municipal League welcomed the newest class of Community Leadership Development (CLD) at the kickoff event in Enid.
