3 Things to Do: Dec. 11-13 The Shawnee News-Star Christmas is just around the corner, and there are several things going on around Shawnee to get you in the holiday spirit. Whether giving back to the community, buying crafts, or making your own, here are some of the things to do this weekend. 1. Take part in Claus for a Cause: Some Shawnee businesses have teamed up for Claus for a Cause to benefit a local non-profit. Cuckoo Bird & Dashing T Boutique, located at 1817 N. Harrison in Shawnee, will be accepting toys for a toy drive each day through Sunday. Discounts will be available for each new toy brought in. Rachel Cleere Photography is also participating and will be offering 10-minute time slots for photos with Santa Sunday at the boutique, with packages starting at $40. Eats & Sweets is also donating treats for those attending. All proceeds from the photos will go to Legacy Parenting Center. Sessions are by appointment only and can be booked at www.RachelCleerePhotography.com.
