Good morning, Lawton.

Crime Stoppers of Southwest Oklahoma will host the 33rd annual Moonlight Walk Against Drugs on Friday, Oct.

30, in the FISTA parking lot with set-up starting at 4 p.m. A chili and dessert cook-off begins at 6 p.m., the walk at 6:30 p.m., trunk-or-treat at 7 p.m., and proceeds benefit the Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Center.

Lawton FFA hosted its second annual pumpkin patch at the Life Ready Center for pre-K students, who rode tractors, met farm animals, played in a maze and picked pumpkins to take back to class; organizers said two other schools will join the event.

State Rep. Brian Hill said he was impressed by Lawton's economic development during a recent statewide tour, noting the city is growing while many communities outside Oklahoma City and Tulsa struggle to attract jobs + investment.
