(Cushing, Okla.) Memorial Day weekend is a time of family gatherings, high school reunions and the official kick off of summer. The KUSH family would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend, along with these friendly reminders and possible things to do:
The National Click It or Ticket mobilization is underway through May 31st – so always wear your seatbelt.
If you choose to drink – don’t drive. Make sure you have a designated driver if you have to go from Point A to Point B.
With all the recent rain (and forecast of more) remember not to drive into water on the roadways.
If you are planning on camping or going to one of the lakes, check ahead to make sure the area is open to do so.
