Ken and Donna Posey are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. The couple met in the fall of 1963 at Central State University in Edmond.

They were married Sept. 19, 1964, in Marlow Central High Baptist Church and moved to El Reno in the fall of 1965.

Posey taught English and reading and coached football, basketball and EHS golf. Donna taught second and third grades at Lincoln Elementary.

The couple have two children, Lance and Lanae.

At the 2024 State Fair of Oklahoma, The Pride of El Reno won 5A Band Competition, first place, 5A Drum Major, first place, 5A Color Guard, first place, and 5A Drum Line, second place.

Several Canadian County students were honored recently by the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture with academic scholarship support for the 2024-2025 academic year.

These scholarships are part of the more than $1.8 million that students receive from the Ferguson College and its academic departments.

Students from all areas of study are considered for university scholarships, which can be combined with college and departmental opportunities. 

Ed and Barbara Zweiacher hosted visitors from Switzerland last week. 

Katja Zweiacker and Bjorn Schmid were traveling on Route 66 from Flagstaff, Ariz., to Chicago and stopped to visit in El Reno.

They are from Jegenstorf, Switzerland, where Ed’s grandfather came from. All the Zweiackers trace their lineage to Jegenstorf, Ed said.
