EnidLIVE! recently had an interview with Lori Coonrod from the Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce. She gave more description of some events that will be happening. She states, “On the courthouse lawn we’ve got tons of vendors, different things from puppets to boutique items to handmade crafts. We even have some doggy duds that are gonna be for sale . . . along with several food booths.”
She also mentioned more information on the parade on Saturday. As quoted by Coonrod, “It is gonna be a huge parade. One thing we need to note is that the Longhorns will be driven by real cowboys all the way down Grand from the fairgrounds. Starting around 9-9:15 in the morning, they’re gonna be driven down to the square, leading the parade around, and they will return to the fairgrounds once their portion of the parade is over . . . please do not move around any emergency vehicles or people that are escorting them . . . these are live animals that are very large . . . but they’re very tame.”
