School Starts Next Week in Woodward
Woodward schools will begin next week on August 18th. Parents in the area are already flocking into stores for school supplies and more as families prepare for the big day.
With the start of school also comes the start up of other activities and classes for children in the area. Kids' Inc is now taking registration for fall soccer and Academy of Fine Arts (some know it as The Dance Connection) has been registering for fall classes since July.
With the start up of school and activities, parents should remind themselves to take a breather from time to time with all of the hustle and bustle. When visiting with the folks at Academy of Fine Arts, we fopund ou that they are offering something new this fall, Parents night out.
The first Parents Night Out event will be held on August 26th from 6:00pm-10:00 pm. The event is for ages 3 yrs -10 years and includes games, music, signing, crafts, movie and popcorn for a small fee. They can even supply your child with a pizza dinner for an extra $3. Registration for each age level is limited and you do not have to be a student of their fine arts academy to participate!
It sounds like a really good deal, so we encourage parents that cannot get out from time to time due to a lack of a babysitter to check them out! They are located at 609 Main street and you can reach them at 580-256-3262.
We are sure there are other great back to school events going on and we encourage you to keep sharing them with us so we can post them!

Something is in the works!
Another building in the 800 block of Main street in Woodward is about to be filled. Owners of the building at 810 Main Street ( used to be the Ain't That Sweet building) have confirmed that the cafe in the back has been leased and that a new business will be opening in the location in September.
Main Street seems to becoming alive again with shops and this is all very good for the community. Be sure to make a planned stop in downtown Woodward OK soon to explore the shops and eateries. While there, stop by the Farmers Market for some great home grown treets as well,

Woodward Elks Rodeo
The Woodward Elks Rodeo is a long running tradition in Woodward and it all starts on July 20th through July 23rd. Tickets can be purchased at the gate. This rodeo has brought in many high earning riders in the past and this year should be no exception. Families for generations have been entertained by the clowns and other acts brought in for the event as well,
The rodeo week starts out with a free hamburger feed in Woodward at noon on July 20th and also offers other free meals at their evening rodeo. One favorite of the town that is generally well attended is the free BBQ on Thursday evening. A parade down Main Street is also a favorite to attend on Saturday morning.
So if you have no other plans and the heat does not bother you much, be sure to check out the Woodward Elks Rodeo next week!
