PUBLISHER PEOPLE ARE EDMOND’S GREATEST RESOURCE
Our great community of Edmond is filled with so many features that make it a wonderful place to live. We have an excellent city government, great schools, lively businesses and facilities that are second to none in Oklahoma. The organizations that help make our city great have our Edmond’s best assets as members. I have long believed that of all the wonderful things to be found here in Edmond that our people are the greatest resource. Being active and involved is the best thing a person can do to help the community they live in. We need to be active and involved in our community. Edmond is a great community because our residents, organizations and businesses do take things a step further and get involved. It is what makes us one of the very best communities in the nation. Our yearly Calendar of Events shines a light on the results of many of those efforts in Edmond as well as a resource that will help you and your family not miss out on what goes on here in Edmond.
Ray Hibbard
