Welcome to Stroud!

from Oklahoma's Choice Weekly Volume 4 Issue 27

Greetings Stroud Citizens,

I am excited to tell you about the Midpoint Corridor Christmas celebration. All 11 towns along Route 66 between Edmond and Sapulpa are participating. We have all come together and selected Christmas Themes and each town has a date to celebrate lighting up their Christmas trees and lights. This will allow you to travel from one end to the other and experience each town and their celebrations. I realize this is the busiest me of the year but let’s make it a point to support each other.

Stroud is fortunate to have a very busy committee working on this celebration. It is made up of business owners and volunteers who want to see Stroud an ac ve, beau ful, and fes ve part. They have laid out the town with many photo opportunities and have scheduled events throughout the season so stay connected and enjoy what they have planned for us. The City of Stroud has ordered some new theme-aligned decorations for the light poles to brighten things up. Courtney Lyons is a very talented young lady and has been working tirelessly painting the windows on main street to transform the town into an Elf Wonderland. Great job to everyone involved and thank you for your dedication to Stroud!

Stroud’s theme is “The Illuminated Elf” and our Tree lighting celebration is on the 17th of November from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. There will be refreshments and activities going on during this time so make plans to join us at Centennial Park before the Football Game

As we approach this season, let’s take me to reﬂect on the things that mean the most to us. We are a very blessed town and people and sometimes it is easy to take that for granted. Take this me to pause, rejoice, and give thanks.

Stroud’s Christmas Parade is on December 2nd at 6:00 pm. Entertainment and refreshments will start at 5:30 pm and the theme this year is “Santa’s Helpers(Elves)”

Happy Thanksgiving Friends, Bob Pearman, city Manager
