Homemaker opens up front porch stand in Wichita Falls

A Wichita Falls woman aims to bring the community together by means of her new small-business porch stand, Shugarshoo Home Goods . The front porch stand is self-serve and open for business 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the corner of Rhea Road and Blankenship Street. According to owner Kayla Crane, the business started off in July 2024 as a way of earning extra income. She began attending the Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers Market on Saturdays, but her business steadily became something bigger as the demand grew. In April, Crane opened up the self-serve porch stand, which offers customers another avenue to purchase her made-from-scratch products. "In our opinion, everything in the world is getting kind of lackadaisical, and commercial, and everything is made cheaper with seed oils, and it's all about making a dollar," said Crane. "Everything we do, we do with the best ingredients we can that makes reasonable sense to also be able to turn a profit." Crane said her products do not use vegetable or canola oil, and she only uses real butter. The caramel, toffee and puddings used in the cookies or treats are made from scratch on the stove.

Study reveals unhealthy profile of Wichita Falls residents

A study of Wichita Falls' collective health conducted by Blue Zones LLC claims residents of the city have high rates of tobacco use, are physically inactive, have poor diets, suffer from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and are obese. The numbers are in comparison to national and state figures as well as communities that participate in Blue Zones initiatives. The findings were revealed in a virtual forum conducted online Nov. 9 by Blue Zones LLC, a for-profit company headquartered in Edina, Minnesota. United Regional Health Care Systems sponsors the Blue Zones initiative in the city. URHCS CEO Corey Edmondson said in August Blue Zones considered coming to Wichita Falls “because we are one of the most unhealthy counties in Texas.” The study, available at bluezoneswichitafallsreport.com claims Wichita Falls adults have high rates of diabetes and depression but comparatively low rates of cancer. The company also says that, without intervention, medical and lost productivity costs will increase by $11.7 billion over the next decade. Amelia Cabots, chief operations officer for Blue Zones, said the purpose of her company is “to empower everyone everywhere to live longer.” She said Blue Zones conducted 101 local meetings, including meetings with 49 organizations; led

5 Best Restaurants in Lawton, Oklahoma You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Lawton, Oklahoma — a city where the prairie wind carries stories and the sky stretches wide, where Fort Sill’s legacy mingles with the laughter of families, and where every block is stitched together by the dreams of soldiers, students, and old-timers who call this patch of red earth home. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: brick storefronts, weathered diners, and the gentle sprawl of neighborhoods where porch lights glow late and barbecue smoke drifts on the breeze. It’s a place where the food scene is a living, breathing thing — shaped by Comanche roots, military wanderers, and the quiet pride of those who never left and those who found their way back.
