From the Corner oFFiCe
Autumn is a great season in Oklahoma - with the crisp October air, pumpkin patches for kids, scenic drives and the changing colors of the leaves. Speaking of colors, orange is
my favorite color, especially OSU orange. It is the perfect time of year to get out and enjoy Enid! And regarding the beautiful leaves, make sure this year when you have raked them all up, you put the yard waste into the green polycarts.This makes it possible for our crews at the landfill can efficiently dispose of it. Stay safe and enjoy this Fall season with your friends and family.
