Canadian County employees with impeccable safety records were recognized this week for their efforts on the job.

County District 3 crew members were honored at this week’s commissioners meeting for having no accidents or injuries in the past three years.

District 3 Commissioner Tracey Rider made a presentation to the group, commending them on their conscious efforts to follow safe practices while working.

Rider recently received a report from Human Resources Director NaCole Majors showing the safety records of personnel at all county departments since 2022.

El Reno will again be invaded by hundreds of young people who will be taking part in the National Land and Range Judging Contest.

The contest has become an annual event here over the years, with judging often held at Concho, Fort Reno or area farms. The exact site of the contest will not be made public until the day it takes place, although an organizer said it will be in Canadian County. 

The event will kick off Tuesday morning with registration and will again headquarter at the Canadian County Expo Center. 

There is so much going on in El Reno in the next couple of weeks, with the biggest event of them all taking place next Saturday, Burger Day! Don’t miss out on the Big Burger and all the fun things El Reno Main Street has planned. So much work goes into this event.

American Spirit chapter recently hosted guest speaker Jeff Tice, an architectural industry professional, with support from Computer-Aided Design and Drafting at Canadian Valley Technology Center.

Tice gave a presentation on his firm’s software and website tools, giving students a better understanding of the architectural field and current CADD trends.
