A 1955 Chevrolet Belair, owned by J.R. Lloyd of Shawnee, and a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, belonging to Shane and Vivian Brown of Shawnee, were two of the vehicles at the monthly Cruise the Poo 2.0 on July 29. They met at The Brown Derby, which reopened on July 26 after recovering from tornado damage. Their original radios could not be replaced, so orders will now be taken using a QR Code, by phone or at the walk-up window, as seen on menus in front of each stall.

Rose Rock Habitat for Humanity offered a silent auction as part of their Hope on the Horizon Benefit Concert, held at Main and Broadway streets in Shawnee on July 21.
