For El Reno’s Ross Seed Company, it’s business as usual. 

News that True Value Hardware, the longtime primary provider for the family-owned Ross Seed, has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is in the process of being sold, will not impact the iconic store or its customers, the owners said. 

The third annual Haunted Trolley event, sponsored by the El Reno Arts Council, took riders on a trip through downtown that included being chased by zombies and a walk through a spooky alleyway.

The El Reno Chamber of Commerce held its annual banquet earlier this month.

The chamber recognized Brian Rukes as El Reno Citizen of the Year.

Rukes was the driving force behind the expansion of the Gold Star Plaza.

The chamber also recognized outgoing members of the board of directors.

The filing period for a seat on the El Reno School Board will open Dec. 2 and close Dec. 4.

The election will be for Seat 5 in Ward 4. The position is currently held by Dr. Dorrie Parrott. 

Qualified candidates can file at the Canadian County Election Board in downtown El Reno between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on the December dates.
