A number of films have been shot in the city over the years. Major films such as Rain Man and Elizabethtown as well as I Can Only Imagine featured scenes shot in El Reno.

OKARCHE – Two of the most successful small-school basketball teams in western Oklahoma renewed their annual rivalry last week and as expected, it was an edge-of-the-seat affair for four periods.
