Events

I'm glad they decided to update the hours and give the kids some more time. So get your costumes and bags ready! Plus, who wants to be out trick or treating when it's not even dark out yet?

This past Friday night I finally got to see Evil Dead the Musical! I've always wanted to go but never had the chance. Luckily for me and everyone else, it's showing in Lawton, Fort Sill on select dates/times throughout the month of October at the Trail of Fear. If you're a fan of the Evil Dead franchise you have to go!

The world's largest Christmas tree will be in Enid, Oklahoma this holiday season. Make plans now to attend The One, a special holiday happening that will feature concerts, arts and crafts, bands, plays, church services, show choirs, live performances of all kinds, and the largest Christmas tree in the world standing at a whopping 140 feet tall.

Get ready to get your car clean as you scream! All American Super Car Wash is doing a "Haunted Car Wash" starting this Friday, October 15th (10-15-21). It's guaranteed to be a soapy and scary good time for those brave enough to enter.

All this week McDonald's has been giving teachers and educators a FREE BREAKFAST as a thank you for everything you do. If you're a teacher or school administrator you still have some time this week to stop by McDonald's and get your free breakfast.

It's back! The Lawton, Fort Sill Holiday in the Park parade will return in 2021 on Saturday, November 20th (11-20-21). The parade will start at 6:00 pm that evening in downtown Lawton on C Ave in front of the mall and make its way to Elmer Thomas Park. This year's theme for the parade will be "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

The Vaska Theatre in Lawton will be showing Hocus Pocus with a shadow cast on select dates through the month October. If you've never experienced Vaska's Shadow cast it's a great time and fun for the whole family. Hocus Pocus will be a "Hex-A-Long" with the shadow cast and feature all kinds of interactive segments throughout the movie.

If you haven't heard the news yet Evil Dead the Musical is coming to Lawton, Fort Sill to the Trail of Fear on select dates through the month of October. Being a HUGE FAN of Bruce Cambell and the Evil Dead franchise I've always wanted to see it and now I'll finally get my chance.

We're starting to finally see more and more of Lawton's Halloween happenings return for 2021. After all the cancellations last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic we're making up for lost time and most, if not all of our favorite annual events are coming back...

This week we have been focusing on United Way partner agencies, and what they contribute the Southwest Oklahoma's Way of Life, and how your donations to United Way are imperative to their survival and causes.

Unfortunately, the UWSWOK (United Way of Southwest Oklahoma) has canceled their annual Blue Tie Gala, but the good news is they'll be doing an online auction instead. You'll still be able to assist the United Way with fundraising and help provide needed funding for local and area agencies that UWSWOK supports.

The City of Lawton's "Halloween Spooktacular" will have all kinds of frightfully fun activities for the entire family. It's going to be an outdoor event that will have games, prizes, candy, food trucks, vendors, and more. Everyone is welcome and it's FREE to attend!
