Happy Friday BuzzHeads!

Well… Enid definitely got the memo that it’s winter. ❄️
About 12 inches of snow came down across town, and judging by the temps ahead, this isn’t one of those “it’ll be gone by tomorrow” deals. This is the hang around for a while, block your driveway, pile up in parking lots kind of snow. Some streets are still rough, some businesses are easing back into normal hours, and it may take a bit before everything fully thaws out.

As always, Enid Buzz is keeping an eye on what’s open, what’s delayed, and what’s going on around town as we dig out together. Grab a warm drink, stay safe, and let’s get into what you need to know this week in Enid.

WHAT'S HOT THIS WEEK

Free Dental Clinic

The Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) is bringing its two-day free dental clinic to Enid this February, offering no-cost dental care to those who need it most. Stride Bank Center.

Friday, February 6 & Saturday, February 7, 2026
Doors open at 5:30 a.m. | First come, first served

This clinic is open to all ages and is especially for those who are uninsured, underinsured, or don’t have regular access to dental care. No ID, no insurance, and no pre-registration required.

Services may include:

Cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, and some root canals and partials.

More than 1,000 volunteers from across Oklahoma will come together to provide care with compassion and dignity. Translation services will be available in multiple languages, including ASL and Spanish.

Patients should plan to be on site 6–8 hours due to high demand and arrive as early as possible. There will be no indoor overnight waiting, so please plan accordingly.

This year marks 15 years of OkMOM serving Oklahomans, with more than $18 million in dental care donated since the program began.

For patient details, veteran early-entry information, volunteering, or donations, visit okmom.org.
