Around the first week in December, nonprofit organization Safe Events For Families (SEFF) puts on Shawnee’s annual Christmas parade. Spreading out several bandstands along the route enables residents to spread out and get a better view, while still being able to hear about floats from the emcees.

In 2019, Shawnee upped its game by adding a fireworks display immediately after the parade. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020’s parade was temporarily reduced to a drive-thru Christmas lights show down Main Street. For more information, visit the SEFF Facebook page.

ANNUAL EVEN T S

CHRISTMAS PARADE

MCLOUD BLACKBERRY FESTIVAL McLoud has boasted the title of “Blackberry Capital of the World” ever since the town sent President Harry Truman a crate of fresh blackberries in 1949, when he bestowed the designation. To celebrate the end of blackberry harvest season, McLoud hosts the Blackberry Festival every year in July at McLoud Veterans Memorial Park, located at Sixth and Park in McLoud. The festival usually includes a carnival, music, vendors, cobbler eating contest and other activities, and fresh blackberries and blackberry foods for sale. For more information, visit www. mcloudchamber.com.

KOLACHE FESTIVAL The Prague Kolache Festival held the first Saturday of May is a popular celebration in nearby Lincoln County. Visitors are able to watch the parade featuring local bands, dancers, organizations and more. There is an arts and craft show, carnival and various food trucks. However, the greatest attraction of the event is the chance for everyone to eat the beloved Czechoslovakian pastry, the Kolache. After being canceled the past two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, festival organizers have announced their intention to bring the event back in 2022.

TECUMSEH FRONTIER DAYS FACEBOOK

SUNSHINE SHELLY’S PUMPKIN PATCH When autumn rolls around, Kozel Family Farms presents Sunshine Shelly’s Pumpkin Patch at 7110 N. Harrison. The patch offers farm-grown pumpkins, a 5-acre corn maze, kiddie maze, corn pits, hayrides, corn cannon, barrel train and fire pits, as well as a haunted corn maze at night.

For the past few years, the annual Red Earth Festival has made its home at the Grand Casino Hotel & Resort off of Interstate 40 in June.

The Tecumseh Frontier Days celebration pays tribute to the city’s land run, which took place in September of 1891. The celebration includes food, live music, a petting zoo, food trucks, a parade and more. The 2021 event is Sept. 25.

“Red Earth has matured into one of the most comprehensive Native arts events of its type, providing an outstanding opportunity to experience the unique and varied Native cultures that make Oklahoma unique,” the Red Earth website said. “Plus, the Red Earth Festival provides our guests the opportunity to purchase art from America’s most talented Native Artists.”

For more information visit the Tecumseh Together Facebook Page.

Some of the activities at the festival include an art market and adult competition, lectures, demonstrations and a dance showcase.

BOO ON BELL Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 cars lined Main Street for a modified Boo on Bell event. Many of the event’s traditional festivities were put on hold, but a drive-thru trick-or-treat was still held. Participating candy-givers lined the south side edge of Main Street as vehicles containing costumed candy-seekers made their way eastward collecting cupfuls of treats. In a typical year, Boo on Bell is one of Shawnee’s biggest festivals. A carnival, food court, vendors and music are offered as pet and human costume contests and trick-or-treating events commence. In recent years, a growing popularity for the festival is a zombie walk and street dance for all. For more information, visit the SEFF Facebook page.

POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY MUSEUM AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Pottawatomie County Museum and Historical Society Museum sits within the shadows of the old railroad tracks and the old Santa Fe Depot, completed in 1904, where at one point in history trains would come through every 10-13 minutes. The depot, located at 614 E. Main Street in Shawnee, has history spilling out of the doors; even the brick pavers you drive across to get to the museum were saved from the original 1905 Shawnee Main Street. The new 12,572 square foot building known as the Milburn Center is now open to the public. For more information, visit pottcountymuseum. org.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO TO THE SHAWNEE TWIN LAKES Whether area residents want to swim, fish, kayak or water ski, they don’t have far to go. The Shawnee Twin Lakes offer a variety of activities. Here are some things to know before you go. The lakes are located just outside of Shawnee, about three miles south of Interstate 40 off of Highway 102, with Lake No. 2 accessed by turning west on Pecan Grove and Lake No. 1 accessed by turning west onto Lake Road. According to the Visit Shawnee website, Lake No. 1 was built in 1935 and covers a surface area of 1,336 acres with 16 miles of shoreline, while Lake No. 2, built in 1960, has a surface area of 1,100 acres and 9 miles of shoreline. A 10-foot deep canal, constructed in 1962, connects the two lakes. According to the city of Shawnee website, the lakes offer a variety of activities, though those activities differ by lake.

Lake No. 1: Swimming, skiing, fishing and more Lake No. 1 has two free swimming areas: one located at 14 | DISCOVER SHAWNEE

Isaac Waltons Park at the end of Lake Road and the other at Glenn Collins Memorial Park at the west end of the lake. “Isaac Walton Park, established after the opening of Lake #1 in 1935, has a pavilion, 15 camp sites, 8 picnic areas with grills, swimming, restrooms, lighting, and parking,” the Visit Shawnee website says. “The Glen Collins Park formerly called ‘Stonehenge’ was developed by city crews, is located between the two dams, and has a pavilion, picnic areas with grills, swimming, restrooms, lighting and parking.” The covered pavilions at the parks are available to rent by calling the Shawnee Parks Department at (405) 273-1960. Recreational activities such as skiing and tubing are also allowed on the lake, as are personal watercrafts, though having a motorized boat on the lake does require a permit and some fees may apply. According to the city of Shawnee website, an annual boating permit is $30 and a daily permit is $7. Kayaks and canoes are allowed on the lake and do not require a permit. Lake No. 1 includes an indoor dock for fishing, as well

AT THE LAKE

TINA BRIDENSTINE

Lake No. 2 offers opportunities for both fishing and for hunting. Fishing permits are the same as those required for Lake No. 1. Hunting permits can be purchased for $30 annually or $5 daily, and like permits for fishing, are not required for those who have reached the age of 65. According to the Oklahoma Fishing Guides website, duck, rabbit, quail, squirrel and dove can be hunted in designated areas, and some of the fish in the lake include crappie, catfish, sand bass, largemouth bass, saugeye, white bass and bluegill.

KAYAKS AT SHAWNEE TWIN LAKES In the past few years, area residents have discovered a new form of outdoor entertainment at Shawnee Twin Lakes. With pandemic restrictions ruling the day, local residents cracked wide open a well-suited — though wet — workaround to hanging out together while adhering to social distancing requirements.

Alcohol and fireworks are not permitted at either of the Shawnee Twin Lakes.

The Pottawatomie County Kayak Club has seen a flash flood of new members since COVID-19 made the scene.

For more information about the twin lakes, call (405) 878-1528 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Or visit www.shawneeok.org/ or www.visitshawnee.com to find out more.

While kayaking is not necessarily new to the Shawnee Twin Lakes, COVID-19 — as well as the club’s recent Facebook presence — has pushed the sport to overflowing, locally. Not only that, neighboring Tecumseh residents have started their own group.

To purchase permits or pay for camp sites, go to https://secure. rec1.com/OK/shawnee-ok/catalog.

The last addition to the memorial was a group of 10 black granite panels that display the names of more than 7,000 Oklahoma military members who have died in combat since the Spanish-American War.

The cost of the memorial project is estimated to be more than $500,000.

The park is a place of solitude and reflection where one can remember those who are serving our country or have served in the past. Dedicated benches, two memorials representing each of the world wars, and an archway over the entrance are carved from black, polished granite. Displays in the park include a (1965 UH-1 “Huey”) helicopter once used during the Korean Conflict. Flags are flown for each of the military branches.

At Our Grooming Facility, we promote a fun and enjoyable grooming experience for your pet.
