El Reno and The Filling Station keep attracting attention. 

Last week a video crew hired by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism was in town, filming a commercial the state plans to air both nationally and internationally.

It’s part of the promotion of the 100th anniversary of Route 66, said Lyndsay Bayne. Bayne serves as Director of Public Information and Marketing for the City of El Reno. 

Kam Pond and Rhett Coonfield shoot hoops on the community basketball court in Calumet which carries an Oklahoma City Thunder theme.

The court was restored recently as part of the NBA team’s commitment to refresh the 31 such themed courts statewide.

Renovations included new paint, graphics, backboards and rims.

Rumble the Bison was on hand for the ribbon-cutting along with Thunder entertainers.

The court was originally dedicated in 2017.
