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!
Shawnee Senior Happenings: Be aware of scam attempts during holidays

Season’s Greetings Shawnee! Snow and then more snow this past week! Wasn’t it lovely? I really like this type of snow we had, as it was perfect for making snowmen. Nice and white, but it didn’t stick too much to the pavement. So not that large of an impact on travel. I hope you got the see the pretty flakes as they were coming down, and maybe we will even get more soon!
With the holidays right around the corner, we want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season! Merry Christmas to all! We hope you are staying healthy and safe. Be sure to connect with friends and family, even if it is just over the phone or via mail.

On Thursday, a longtime institution in Shawnee celebrated its 90th anniversary.
Local radio station KGFF, Shawnee first hit the air waves at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday morning Dec. 10, 1930.
And it has continued serving the area ever since.
KGFF General Manager Mike Askins said, though the station had already been in operation for a few years, it was Ross Porter who brought it to Shawnee.
The earliest records on file indicate the Wallace Radio Institute put KGFF on the air in January 1927, Askins said.
