PICK PAWNEE
Pawnee Community Chamber of Commerce PICK PAWNEE!!! PICK PAWNEE!!!
February is the month in Pawnee that everyone gets excited that spring is almost here! Valentine’s Day our flower shop, Petals’ & Stems, is absolutely stuffed full of beautiful plants, flowers, balloons, and all the things anyone could ever want to give their sweetie! February also brings anticipation of spring and all the great activities that will be happening in Pawnee. In preparation of events, a new park is in the works for our main street retail area, thanks to the donation of two lots right on Harrison Street from First Bank & Trust. Beautiful landscaping, park benches, public restrooms and a stage area for small concerts are being designed and construction will start within the next couple of weeks. 2,500 to 3,000 Sheila and Tom Briggs bicycle racers are coming through Pawnee for the 100 Mile Mid -South Gravel Race March 12. We will have a repair station, water station, an ambulance just in case, a food truck and live entertainment on that Saturday. All of our downtown merchants will be open to receive our cyclists and their support staffs. March 26 is the Grand opening of the Smithsonian “Crossroads” Change in Rural America exhibit that will be held at Pawnee Bill Ranch big barn March 26May 7, 2022. April 16 is the World Famous Lions Easter Egg hunt Easter weekend at Pawnee Bill Ranch. Over 4,000 candy filled eggs will be hidden by the Easter Bunny, festivities start sharply at 9a.m. I want to take this opportunity to express our condolences to the family of Mayor Tom Briggs who served our community for several decades as Mayor and Chamber manager. Tom was at every event held in Pawnee, Old Time Saturday Night, our PBM rodeo, Lions Easter egg hunt, 4th of July Games on the Square, Christmas Festival of Lights. You could find Tom working at the lake to make our camp grounds and fishing areas better for our citizens. No one was more dedicated to our city of Pawnee. Tom Briggs is greatly missed but we are so very blessed to have had his vision and dedication. RIP Mayor Briggs. Pawnee Chamber of Commerce Joyce Freeman, Manager
