The Oklahoma City Thunder and OG&E unveiled a newly refreshed community basketball court at Youth & Family Services, 7576 East Highway 66.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was followed by a skills challenge, led by Thunder Youth Basketball coaches, free books on the Rolling Thunder Book Bus and interactive activities on the OG&E Thunder Bolt as well as face painters and inflatables.

Originally dedicated in 2014, the El Reno court promotes safe play, community gathering and a love of basketball.

Motorists coming into El Reno could be welcomed in a big, bold fashion if the city pushes through with proposed new entry and way finder signage. 

At a special city council meeting last week, City Manager Matt Sandidge asked elected officials to consider how new entry and way finding signs could impact the community, as well as those visiting. 

Canadian County will pay tribute to America’s military veterans with the 13th Annual Veterans Parade and Program.

Organized by the El Reno Chamber of Commerce, the event is set for 3 p.m. Nov. 10 in the downtown and will attract participation from throughout the county. 

Chamber director Karen Nance said the day will feature the parade as well as performances and awards following in the Centre Theatre, 110 S. Bickford.
