Hope everyone’s doing well around Enid this week. We’re rolling into the holiday season, the weather’s doing its usual Oklahoma mood swings, and there’s plenty happening around town. Whether you’re just getting started on shopping, planning family get-togethers, or just trying to stay warm, here’s a quick roundup of what’s going on in Enid right now.

As we head into Thanksgiving, I just want to say how grateful I am for all of you who’ve read, shared, and supported Enid Buzz over the past 20 years. What started as a small idea has grown into a real community, and that only happened because you kept showing up. Thanks for letting me be part of your daily routine and for caring about what’s happening in our hometown. I appreciate every one of you, and I hope you and your families have a great Thanksgiving.

I’ve been adding new designs, fun colors, and a mix of Enid-themed gear that’s been getting a lot of attention lately. Everything is printed to order, so you get fresh, high-quality shirts instead of something pulled off a shelf.
