The weekly inside buzz on Enid, OK

Hey BuzzHeads!

It’s the beginning to another great week here in Enid, America! Don’t forget to get your taxes sent in by Tuesday at midnight.

It’s getting warmer, windier and there are threats of thunderstorms. That must mean it’s getting close to Tri-State, May Fete and graduation! This year is flying by! Enjoy it while you can.
