Governor of Oklahoma, Mary Fallin, Declares October 1-3, 2015 as 'Horn Showcase Days'
In 1964, the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association was started by a group of Texas Longhorn breeders in Lawton, Oklahoma. In its 51st year, the organization is bringing one of their annual events back home. The 16th Annual Horn Showcase will be held October 1-3, 2015 at Great Plains Coliseum in Lawton. This historic event’s journey back to its birthplace has led Governor Fallin to declare October 1-3, 2015 ‘Horn Showcase Days’ in the state of Oklahoma.

OHLENDORF SAVING BULLPEN AS 'BLOWOUT' CLOSER
Veteran right-hander has 1.29 ERA in 8 games this month
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com|@Sullivan_Ranger| September 24th, 2015
OAKLAND -- The Rangers are finally getting from pitcher Ross Ohlendorf what they hoped for in Spring Training. In doing so, the veteran right-hander has carved out his own niche in the bullpen.
Ohlendorf has morphed into a combination of middle reliever and "blowout" closer. When the Rangers need a game finished and it is not a save situation, they call on Ohlendorf and hold off using closer Shawn Tolleson.
Ohlendorf has done that three times since being called up from Triple-A at the beginning of September, including Wednesday night in a 10-3 win over the Athletics.
