Good day, neighbors! It's me again, Helen Eckhard, your host of the Oklahoma City Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sunny much of the time. High: 74 Low: 48.

Here are the top three stories today in Oklahoma City:

1. The Oklahoma City Home and Outdoor Living Show is back at State Fairgrounds this weekend! Guests can shop hundreds of vendors for home and outdoor goods in the metro.
   The event began yesterday and will begin today at 10 a.m. The event runs through Sunday at the Bennett Event Center and tickets cost $8 online or $10 in person. (KOCO Oklahoma City)
2. The 2022 Farmers Market season will kick off on Apr. 2 with an event at Scissortail Park.
   According to organizers, the kick-off event will include fresh food and local products as well as a fitness class, live music, and family-friendly activities across the park. The Farmers Market will run every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from April through October. (KOKH FOX25)
3. A man's quick call to 911 helped firefighters rescue four people from an Oklahoma City house fire. Alfredo Contreras was driving past Southwest 34th Street and Robinson Avenue when he saw flames leaking out of a house. He called 911 and the firefighters were able to save four people from the flames and multiple pets. One person was listed in critical condition. (KOCO Oklahoma City)
