Historical backfill

October 12–18, 2026

A practical, source-checked guide to public events across Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, and Iowa Park—organized by day, without the calendar clutter.

Historical backfill, researched October 16: This edition includes elapsed days. Six city classes use dated historical first-party RSS because live rechecks are blocked; their cancellation or completion could not be confirmed. Other rolling calendars may omit past listings. See structured data and source-status notes for provenance and coverage gaps. The latest October 19–25 edition remains on the homepage.
