Videos

The heat made our live video cut out. Here’s the video we have of Sapulpa Soldier Greg Morales coming home. The combined efforts of TCSO, CCSO, SPD and SFD gave this soldier a hero’s welcome.

Family and friends pay their respects to Pvt. Gregory Morales with a balloon release and candlelight vigil at Kelly Lane Park on Saturday evening. Morales’ family is still waiting on his status to be changed from “deserted,” and on his autopsy results before they can bring him home. His mom says by the time he gets a proper funeral, he will have been missing a year.

A new American Flag has been donated to Martha's Corner from the Sapulpa Elks Lodge 1118. Not much wind today, but there’s still nothing quite like watching the American Flag go up on America’s Independence Day.

Really great setup over at the Farmers Market! Weather is great and they have Porter Peaches! Open until 7pm at the courthouse gazebo!

Sapulpa Firefighters joined ten other departments from all around the state to train in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) firefighting. The training simulates liquid propane gas fires from both fixed facilities and mobile transportation trucks that carry these types of products through the city. These types of fires are not supper common, but SFD does have a higher-than-average probability just based on their response area and high traffic flow on major highways.

We’ve stayed true to our mission to serve Sapulpa and surrounding communities by continuing to release new products:

SapulpaTimes.com - local news people and events happening in Sapulpa and surrounding communities.

SapulpaJobs.com - hire local talent and keep your employer dollars in town.

ShopSapulpa.com - stay updated with the latest news and deals from Sapulpa’s businesses. (Also check out the popular Facebook Group)

Has anyone heard anything about tax free weekend? It says online it’s the 7,8,&9. But are they still doing it. With all going on
Why is your editor making vile and racist statements like this? Clearly she has lost her way with her moral compass. Disgrace! I question her continued employment!
Can someone explain why this woman is on the payroll and is racist towards natives.
Next, I would like to see Sapulpa Times stop people from name calling and bullying. Facts are one thing. The comments on the posts from last nights meeting are rude and hateful. Please consider stopping people from such things. Many fb groups have rules for rude, hateful, and bullying comments. The reporting last night was spot on and unbiased. The people who stood up last night and said their peace should not have people ridiculing them. This is a form of intimidation. Allowing this could cause a previous speaker to not put themselves out there. It, also, affects people who may come forward to speak.
I want to apologize to the people who had their speaking at the council last night mentioned here for the rude and hateful comments you have been receiving. I am sorry! Regardless of your point of view, you put forth your time to attend the meeting and stand alone at a podium with a microphone and state your opinion. That is not an easy task! I wholeheartedly thank you!
Does anyone know what happen at the Sapulpa laundry mat by KFC earlier today. Fire trucks were there
Nice one sapulpa times! Such a amazing employee you have their. Nothing like a grammar nazi attacking people trying to find out about the missing young lady.
It was a very big mistake to NOT renew park hosts Tod and Mary due to a person who was breaking the Sapulpa rules about Sahoma/Pretty Water fishing permits. Don't have city statues you will not enforce. I moved away 20 years ago because of poor city management.
