Burger Day is back.

Admittedly, it’s a slimmed-down Burger Day Festival, but it’s still about the fried-onion hamburger that El Reno made famous. And it will be held the first Saturday in May.

In early March the El Reno Main Street Board announced it would not host the Burger Day Festival for the second consecutive year. The festival was canceled in 2020 after COVID-19 forced people to stay away from one another.

Having just celebrated its 45th anniversary, El Reno Mobile Meals is bringing more than just hot meals to the table this year. With new ideas and plans under way, the organization recently welcomed its newly hired director, longtime chef Norman Sheridan.

El Reno Mobile Meals is a nonprofit organization that provides meals to anyone who is unable to prepare meals themselves.

Working solely with volunteers, meal packages are hand-delivered to the 125 recipients throughout the community.

A 38-year-old El Reno man was killed Friday evening on I-40 after a tire blowout caused his vehicle to roll several times, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported.

Ryan Hale was pronounced deceased at the scene of the accident that happened just after 6 p.m., one mile east of El Reno, near mile marker 127, the OHP said.

El Reno firefighters freed Hale from the 2005 Toyota Camry after he was pinned inside for more than two and a half hours, the OHP said.

As city officials continue to learn more about the chain of events that left much of the city and surrounding area with little to no water during a stretch of sub-zero temperatures in mid-February, “a perfect storm” may best describe the ordeal.

A 21-year-old El Reno man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of Angela Michelle Thompson, police reported.

Jason Lamar Richey was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting that happened March 10 at 402 S. Hadden. The shooting took place just before 9:30 p.m.

Assistant Police Chief Kirk Dickerson said Richey was injured in the incident that reportedly left another person wounded as well. Police did not release information or the name of that person.
