STORM WARNING UPDATE

In the event that inclement weather comes through, the storm siren should now be up and running. When we had a tornado warning last week, the old siren would not come on, so Police Chief Brian Lenington drove up and down the streets blowing his patrol car’s siren to let people know they needed to take shelter.

We have three sirens donated by the city of Pawhuska and are in the process of getting them installed. They will cover a much broader area of town if bad weather comes through. We hope we don’t have to use the sirens, but if we do, thank the city of Pawhuska for donating them. It is so nice to have people who care about our town.

The school will be open anytime the storm sirens go off. We’ve been looking for grant monies to build a town shelter, but until we get it, everyone can use the school. Go in through the south door of the old gym.

Osage Nation Produce Vouchers will be given out from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, at Wynona Town Hall. Vouchers can be used to purchase produce from vendors, who also will be on site.
