Rev Up, Reflect, and Reptile:
Shawnee Kicks Off 2025 with Style!
Hello Stacy Cramer,
Happy New Year! Shawnee, America is revving up 2025 with events that'll get your wheels spinning, your heart racing, and maybe even your skin crawling—in a good way! Whether you're seeking inspiration, speed, or something a little more slithery, we've got you covered this weekend.
First, find your divine spark at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art's "Called by God: The Art of Religious Life" exhibit, open now through February 16. This soulful showcase explores the artistry of devotion across cultures, with pieces that inspire reflection and awe. It's the perfect antidote to the post-holiday blues—come for the beauty, stay for the spiritual recharge.
Speaking of adrenaline, the Outlaw Motor Sports Indoor Kart Racing event is zooming into town January 9-11. Watch as daredevil drivers tear up the track, battling for glory in high-speed, pint-sized machines. It’s fast, it’s furious, and it’s indoors—perfect for winter thrills without the chill.
Car buffs, get ready to shift gears on January 11 for the OK Classics Auto & Memorabilia Auction. From vintage beauties to rare collectibles, you’ll find automotive treasures that’ll make your inner gearhead swoon. Even if you’re not in the market, it’s a dreamland for those who love chrome and history.
Finally, if you’re looking for something scaly, slimy, or just plain fascinating, the Herps Reptile Expo is crawling into Shawnee January 11-12. Whether you’re a herpetology enthusiast or just want to conquer a fear of snakes, this family-friendly expo promises an up-close look at some amazing creatures—and maybe even a chance to take one home!
So shake off that New Year’s sluggishness and jump into Shawnee’s action-packed start to 2025. You won’t want to miss this lineup of excitement and inspiration! Come see us, in Shawnee!
