Most of the plans to reduce the size of the Shawano Speedway have been drawn up, but the question of who will pay for it still lingers.

For more than a year, track organizers have pushed to shrink the raceway from the half-mile to a three-eighths mile oval. It’s believed a shorter track will attract more drivers, which will lead to more fans and more money for all involved.

The Suring Area Historical Society Aug. 18 meeting will be held at the Suring Museum on Main Street.

The Shawano County Humane Society is changing its policy regarding animals brought into its shelter in Shawano, and it will require municipalities to cough up some money to help the society find homes for unwanted animals.
