Happy Friday BuzzHeads!

Have you gotten enough rain?
Wow! Who asked for rain? This pic is normally a field next to the trail. After last night’s rain it looks more like a pond. According to some weather guys Oklahoma is now out of drought conditions which hasn’t happened since 2019.

There are lots of fun things happening this weekend but of course that will depend on the weather. So be sure to check and see if the event you are heading has been cancelled or not.

If there’s something you’d like to see added to this newsletter, just hit reply and let me know. Thanks so much for subscribing and being part of the Enid Buzz community. I truly appreciate you!

Stay dry out there—and stay in the know with EnidBuzz.com.

SNB Gives Money To Kids With Good Grades

Security National Bank of Enid will once again be rewarding five lucky area students for their good grades with the SNB Pays for A’s program.

The program is open to students in grades 3 through 12. Public and private school students are encouraged to participate. Students will have until 5pm June 20, 2025 to take their report cards to Security National Bank’s 201 West Broadway or 210 North Oakwood locations. There the bank will make a copy of the report card and place it in a hopper. Four cards will be drawn from the hopper. Those four students will receive $10 for each A and $5 for each B on their spring 2025 semester grades. Individual grades from each nine-week section will not be considered.

All students entering their grades will receive a coupon for a chocolate chunk cookie or chocolate fudge brownie from Chick Fil A of Enid.

In addition to the four students who will be “paid for their As”, one card will be drawn from the hopper for a $150 savings account with the bank.
