Irish pub in Guthrie has 'spirited' atmosphere

Kenney's Irish Pub continues to be a lively and spirited venue.

On a spooky note

Traveling northwest, an evening with the Enid Symphony provides culture, class, fun and possibly a chill or two. The symphony is housed in what is now the beautifully renovated Masonic Temple.

The orchestra has been playing in Enid for more than a hundred years, but perhaps the music is attracting a true fan who likes to hang around for a long time.

Douglas Newell, the music and executive director of the Enid Symphony Orchestra, tells of a ghostly encounter one night when he was there alone.

He heard footsteps, and when he went to see who it might be, he said a gentleman wearing a blue custodial outfit and a nametag that said “George” was walking down the stairs. Newell stuck out his hand and said hello. “George” didn't say a word but rather walked right through Newell. And the minute Newell lost sight of him, the sound of the footsteps disappeared.
