The Last Weekend Before School

The Beeyouteefull Sunrises Are Returning

Whelp! This is the last weekend of summer break for the kids! Get out and do some fun family things in NW Oklahoma.

The later sunrises and increased clouds are adding to the beauty of the morning sunrises. Go walk the Enid trail if you haven’t been out. There’s lots to see and you might run into someone you know!

Enjoy your weekend—and stay in the know with EnidBuzz.com.
