Are you interested in getting more involved in Shawnee Country? The Shawnee Country Open Space Association has a Board of Trustees that oversee the association. The Board meets monthly to discuss topics such as open space maintenance, lake issues, budget updates and/or development improvements. Board members are expected to take on specific roles, tasks and duties throughout the year. In addition to the Board positions there is also a Lake Committee that is looking for members. This committee helps maintain the swimming and fishing lakes.
If you are interested in becoming more involved and would like more information on the roles and responsibilities of Board members or the Lake Committee please contact the Board at shawneecountryosa@gmail.com.
The Annual Block Party & Fishing Derby is scheduled for Saturday, September 6th. Watch for more information to come via email later this summer!

On Friday, April 11th, SOCSA again hosted another successful Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Parents, children and grandchildren who participated were fortunate that the rain predicted never showed up until later in the evening.
I arrived shortly before the hunt started and by my observation there must have been at least 2000 brightly colored eggs spread around the banks of both the swimming and fishing lakes. (Guess the Easter chicken had a pretty busy day.) At 6:00pm the hunt officially started and the young egg hunters took off scooping up the eggs with the same verocity as the deer in Shawnee Country attack the flowers we’ve planted.
Within an hour there was nary an egg to be found on the ground. They had all been collected, and now were being opened in search of candy or prize tickets inside. Those fortune enough to have prize tickets received chocolate bunnies and one grand prize of a giant chocolate bunny.
Our thanks to Mother Bunny, Lynn Finelli, and all the other assistant bunnies who helped.
Spring is here, and it’s time to get active around the lake.
Help us to get the lakes ready for another summer. Bring shovel or a rake, and join your neighbors at the lake. You’ll have a good time and help the community.
The date may change – Following clean up day is the popular Shawnee Country Fishing Derby. All are invited, but only children (no adults) are allowed to fish. Prizes for the 1st fish, most fish, and largest fish caught.
