As sure as falling leaves in November, scores of volunteers are scouting out donations and putting their energies to work on the annual drive for El Reno Blessing Baskets, a nonprofit that provides a little bit of Christmas for those in need.

Saluting the flag during the El Reno High School salute to veterans Friday are, from left, Bill Flippen, Marine veteran, Glen Hughes, Navy veteran and John Petrus, Navy veteran.

El Reno will be moving its eight head of buffalo soon from their lake home to the wider acres of Concho Hill.
