Pals, pool time, and Pott County. Three of our favorite things, all in one place. 🤌

This Thursday is Friendship Day at Shawnee Splash, and we’re teaming up with Shawnee Parks and Recreation for BOGO with Pogo!

Bring a friend between 12-3 PM and you’ll BOTH get in for the price of one — plus games, healthy snacks, and all the friendship bracelets your wrists can handle.

See you and your pals out there! ☀️ 🌊

1 in 5 Pottawatomie County residents reported 11 or more poor mental health days in the last month, per the latest Community Health Needs Assessment.

That number is why Pogo's Mental Wellbeing Coalition teamed up with American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - Oklahoma Chapter to host one of AFSP's signature Talk Saves Lives trainings. Right here in our community.

Mental health providers from a number of Pottawatomie County agencies attended to dive deep on starting lifesaving conversations.

Thank you to AFSP Oklahoma, to Gordon Cooper Technology Center for hosting, and to every community member who showed up ready to learn.

In the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, nearly half of Pott County residents said they don't feel connected to their community.

We're doing something about that — and we need your help!

Knitting clubs, softball leagues, bible studies, dad groups, you name it. Help us build a guide to the groups keeping us social.
