If you know the purple two-story house at 909 NW Hilltop Dr., you know it goes big for Halloween. This year it added a fire-breathing dragon fountain, and the owner, who also owns Lawton's historic Vaska Theatre, built much of the decor by hand.

  • Fountain build: a couple of weeks, ready by the first week of October
  • Last year's project: a Ferris wheel
  • Many of the built decorations will become permanent fixtures
  • Drivers should park on the street, not in the grass

A neighborhood block party was planned for Saturday night, with more than 30 candy stations and displays during regular trick-or-treating hours. The homeowner told KSWO he made the dragon for his late stepdad.

“I hate hearing people say that there's nothing to do in Lawton.”

The Wrap

Some of the smallest trick-or-treaters in town got their own night out. Memorial Health System of Southwest Oklahoma held its 13th annual NICU Reunion Trick or Treat on Thursday, and as Caylor Harvey was welcomed in, the announcement was "Elvis is in the building." Thank you, thank you very much.
