The City of Clinton’s now-weekly tradition of “Dragging Main” every Friday began picking up steam before daylight ran out Friday night and continued on well into the evening. By nightfall traffic was bumber to bumper.

But even though the picnic was cancelled, CPSF executive director Erin Adams said the kids will still be rewarded with gift cards to local businesses.
Garrett Rivas holds up some of the gift cards he received for earning Top 10 Percent distinction.
State Rep. Lundy Kiger (R-Poteau) has renewed his call for DHS to help restructure regulations for Oklahoma daycare owners.
Friendly InterBank tellers helping their customers at the bank’s drivethru window include, from left, Chemil Washington, Frieda Collins, Donna Ackley and Damaria Mejia.
April is Made in Oklahoma Month, and the Oklahoma State University Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center (FAPC) is encouraging Oklahomans to support local food companies, even during this time of national crisis.
