“Keep the doggies rolling” was a good motto for about 40 cowboys and cowgirls from across Oklahoma as they joined together to commemorate both the 140th anniversary of the Chisholm Trail and the Oklahoma Centennial celebration with a honest-to-gosh cattle drive along the legendary Chisholm Trail, from the Red River to Caldwell, Kansas.

In spite of January’s ice storm which took away some of the trees at Honor Heights Park this years Garden of Lights display has bounced back on the efforts of the Parks Department employees who have risen to the challenge installing and arranging an estimated 1.25 million light bulbs along the curving mile long drive.
Park Foreman Richard Randell said people who think the ice storm wiped out the Garden of Lights are in for an eye-opening experience.

On Friday night Enid, Oklahoma held its annual Lights Up Plains celebration of the holiday season, complete with carriage rides, Santa Claus and music at the Gazebo.
As an extra added bonus an Oklahoma Centennial fireworks display also took place, with fireworks being shot from the rooftops of several downtown buildings.
What made the event even more special for the brave souls that were in attendance was the wet snow which fell Friday night in Enid, making this years kick off for the Christmas season so special.
Fireworks in the snow is a beautiful site although a rarity in Oklahoma.
The folks in Enid who witnessed it Friday night should consider themselves very blessed at the start of this holiday season.
