The Holdenville Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture announced two upcoming community events during their October 15 general membership meeting. The next major community event will be the annual Downtown Trick or Treat event that is scheduled for Friday, October 30 from 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.. Businesses that plan to participate should obtain a sign from the Chamber office showing that they are participating so the young treat-seekers know where to stop.

Tuesday, October 13, 2020, Sergeant Andrew Ott of the Holdenville Police Department was dispatched to the area around Highway 48 and Highway 270 regarding a reckless driver. The vehicle was described as a silver Nissan with a Seminole Nation tag.

Holdenville Public Schools announced on Sunday they will remain closed for another week, October 19 - 23, while students continue to attend virtual classes over the internet. This extension is due to the continued number of confirmed positive Covid cases of staff members and students over the past week, along with the number of staff and students being quarantined after contact tracing determined they have been exposed to the virus. Student lunches-to-go may be picked up at the high school cafeteria between 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. At this time they are planning to return to in-person learning on Monday, October 26.
