Some 450 longhorn cattle breeders from 48 states came to Canadian County and spent four days here last week.
The Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America’s 2024 Longhorn Showcase was staged at the Canadian County Expo and Event Center, 3001 Jensen Road East.

After 90 years, Bass Law is under new ownership. A block party was held last week to celebrate the Bass family and their contributions to both the legal profession as well as the community of El Reno.
The celebration also helped to usher in the new leadership team that assumed ownership of the well-known legal practice.
The following is found on the website of the Canadian County Historical Museum:
The El Reno Hotel was built on the southwest corner of Wade and Choctaw in 1892 by J.M. Kemp. Later it was owned by John and Emma Kossuth, who sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Hiram M. Foster in December 1901.
It stayed in their family for over 80 years. Mrs. Foster operated it until 1959, then her son, Clifford took over until 1964. At that time Mrs. Foster’s daughter, Catharine Lemon took over and operated it until it closed permanently in 1974.
