Shawnee Senior Center releases New Year's hours Amy Riggins Contributing writer Good morning, Shawnee! I hope you enjoyed a safe and healthy Christmas! Even though this year has been an unusual one, we can still have hope and stay connected to one another! During this season, my husband and I enjoy driving around town looking at Christmas lights and holiday displays. There were some great ones this year, especially in the neighborhoods North of Independence, East of Bryan Road, and along Beard and Union Streets. We appreciate everyone in town who took time to celebrate this year by decorating their homes and lawns!
