The El Reno Regional Airport is going to be a busy place with two major construction projects going on at the same time. 

Construction has already begun on the Tony Caldwell Collection, a museum dedicated to antique aircraft. And if all goes to plan, ground will be broken for a new terminal in late April. 

City Manager Matt Sandidge said the groundbreaking is tentatively set for April 24. The city is working to bring a couple of state transportation officials to the ceremony so schedules are being checked. 

FFA and 4-H students from across the county helped host the Second Annual Canadian County Together We Show Special Needs Livestock Show.

The Canadian County Children’s Justice Center will host a community fun day in celebration of its 25th anniversary. 

Associate District Judge Bob Hughey said the event is being billed as a Family Fun Festival. It’s free and will include live animals, inflatables, face painting, music, activities and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Book Bus. 

The Safe Kids Coalition will be on-site providing car seat safety checks and offering a limited number of free car seats to those who qualify.

What’s in a name?

It was summertime in the early 1990s and Daniel Hobson, my nephew, was probably 5 or 6 years old. 

His favorite movie was Sandlot. And I don’t mean it was his favorite movie, it was the only movie he ever watched. Over and over and over again.
