With a nod to the past, present and future, El Reno Now last week offered a glimpse of what is happening around town.
Hosted by the city of El Reno and El Reno Public Schools, the event featured a colorful presentation from the Canadian County Historical Museum as well as updates from City Manager Matt Sandidge, Mayor Steve Jensen and School Superintendent Matt Goucher.
Vicki Proctor, director of the Canadian County Historical Museum, used a slideshow presentation last week to take the El Reno Now audience on a tour of the museum campus at 300 S. Grand.
Proctor credited volunteers and a “wonderful new board” of directors for helping to pump more life into the museum’s offerings.
Proctor said the museum recently hosted a bus from Village Tours that came to El Reno to explore the town and especially the locations where several movies have been filmed over the years.
Residents young and old donned a wide range of Halloween costumes over the weekend for the 2024 El Reno Main Street Association’s Spooktacular event.
A costume contest was held at the Centre Theatre before businesses as well as El Reno fire, police and city staff handed out candy.
There were nearly 40 community and business partners for the event.
El Reno’s Mary Wright's book Shotguns, Shadows and Secrets has been published by Outskirts Press Inc.
