"We are so excited to be living and working in Shawnee where the CVB cares about our city and our businesses enough to realize the importance of building a Visitor's Center.  As Hoteliers, we travel to several visitor's centers in the state to promote not just our hotel but Shawnee as well.  We are thrilled that we will have a Visitor's center of our own.  It will be a wonderful resource for our hotels and for our community."
