El Reno will transform into what some could argue is garage sale heaven this weekend as the annual Town-Wide Garage Sale unfolds Friday through Sunday.
Of course, there may be some who think of a different place as they jockey their way through the streets lined with cars and trucks, parked by those searching for the best deal on the next best thing.
Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Gov. Reggie Wassana submitted testimony to the United States House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, addressing the tribes ongoing efforts to reclaim Fort Reno. The testimony was submitted in March.

The first-degree murder case of an El Reno man charged with stabbing another in September is expected to be taken up this month.
Canadian County Special Judge David Halley on March 21 continued a previously scheduled March 20 preliminary hearing conference to April 26 in the case of Kyler Wayne Barber, 27.
Barber is accused of fatally stabbing 35-year-old Adam Lee Frogge of Oklahoma City in September 2022. He faces a single count of first-degree murder with deliberate intent and is being held without bond in the Canadian County Jail.
As an investigator with the Canadian County Sheriff’s Office – and particularly as founder of that department’s Internet Crimes Unit – Major Adam Flowers has seen the worst the Internet has to offer.

A deputy with the Canadian County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle April 3 for a traffic violation along Interstate 40 eastbound near Radio Road.
The stop landed the driver and a passenger in jail.
Reports said the driver was stopped after the deputy observed an improper lane change.
During the stop, lawmen allegedly found some 30 pounds of methamphetamine and approximately $6,500.
A recent rally at the Oklahoma Capitol drew hundreds of people from across the state, representing a wide range of backgrounds with attendees calling on lawmakers to enact broad-based school-choice policies.
