More Than Snow Cones: 71-Year-Old Business Brings Community Together
Epic Sno Cones owner David Henry, right, holds his sleeping granddaughter, Safiya Henry, 9 months, and eats a Mississippi Squirrel snow cone, as he talks with Oklahoma Senator Shane Jett on July 3. Shawnee’s oldest snow cone stand, at 722 S. Beard, was set to have their grand re-opening that day, but the electricity went off. They will announce when the event will be rescheduled.

The little white, wood-frame building with the square sliding window at 722 S. Beard has been a tradition since it originally opened in 1952.
