Unfortunately, in order to maintain the safety of our community and encourage social distancing, we will not be having a fireworks show this year. Thank you for understanding.

 


 

Fishing Derby 2020

Spend Independence Day fishing with us at the NE Lions Park! No license or registration necessary, just bring the kids and start casting! The Derby is from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m., but feel free to fish the whole day! The OK Wildlife Department will be on-site to help any anglers. Children can catch up to 2 catfish and 10 bluegills, must be supervised.
