Good morning, Broken Arrow.

Broken Arrow welcomed the return of its historic cupola when a new bronze replica, based on local memories and built in Kentucky, was installed on the old opera house rooftop—community leaders held a public unveiling last night above Nature’s Tavern in the Rose District.

A new horror-comedy film, Horrified, starring Julie Benz and Ron Perlman, will be filmed in Broken Arrow starting July 29—its production is expected to boost the local economy by over $400,000 and create about 75 jobs through a city-backed incentive program.

The project will film at the Stoney Creek Hotel and Event Center and wrap in early August after 20 days.

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is offering a $100 reward to anglers who catch and report invasive black carp by following specific guidelines—such as humanely killing the fish, keeping it on ice, and recording location details and photos.

Although no black carp have been found yet, anglers may receive rewards up to ten times per month to help track the spread of this invasive species.
