The Latimer County 2013 Pick-A-Star Foundation has met the challenges presented this year to make Christmas a joyful occasion for the residents and families who needed some assistance to have a Merry Christmas.   Despite the ice and snow storm which slowed everyone down and the downturn in economic conditions for everyone, the 2013 Pick-A-Star program can be called a success. 

**STATEMENT ON WEATHER FROM OFFICE OF THE MAYOR**

   The City is to take precautions for our residents for their safety during the expected ice and snow storm.  With the threat of severe weather for the remainder of the weekend, it is absolutely imperative that we be prepared for these conditions.  If needed, shelters will be set up at the Wilburton Senior Citizens Center and the First Baptist Church basement, in case of an emergency.  Wilburton City Hall will be open with at least myself and another employee on hand to answer the phone and triage any emergencies that may present themselves. Of course if there is an emergency, dial 911.  The non-emergency County Dispatch Center number is 918-465-2161.  Call City Hall at 918-465-5361. Contact the Police Department at 918-465-5371.

Halloween evening, Thursday, October 31, 5:00pm to 8:30pm has been designated as the time for the Wilburton Trick or Treaters to go door to door searching for their treats.
