March Letter from the Editor

As March makes its grand entrance, let’s hope spring does too. Our recent, extended spurts of rainy, gloomy days have left me craving sunlight and slightly warmer temperatures – nothing too hot, though. In addition to spring and nicer weather, March is also often accompanied by the traditional observances and holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and occasionally Easter, but it also brings along a hidden treasure, which is National Old Stuff Day. Like hidden treasure and goods, older, antique things are often forgotten or overlooked, but once they’re found, they’re sure to be appreciated. For this month’s cover story, we chose to recognize National Old Stuff Day, which is on March 2^nd, and to do so, we took a dive into some of the histories right here in Enid. From the train museum to the Great Land Run and the Garfield County Genealogists, we sought out the “Old Stuff” and learned quite a bit along the way. Old stuff, antiques, and history might not always be the most interesting subjects for some, but learning from our past can be quite informative, especially when looking forward. After all, National Old Stuff Day is also about moving forward and trying new things – the perfect balance. So, in honor of National Old Stuff Day, look into the past, reflect on old habits and routines, and challenge yourself to try something new!
