A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike.

HISTORY
Education: 9th grade Years in Sweetwater: 22 years Family Members: Heath&Betty Shaw - 90s - Harland's folks. both still alive and both are still spry for their ages. ×_____ Sanders (ñee Shaw) - Harland's younger sister. which makes him the Uncle of her and Waylon's children.
General History: The Shaw family came from Sweetwater and stayed for a time before moving away unexpectedly, they say that's when the werewolf curse originated from, and went to the mountains of Appalachia in Virginia for a while. Heath is wolf born as was his daddy and his daddy before, the Shaw family belonged to a pack in Virginia where Heath met Betty and they married. Betty had been turned when she got bit a year before she met Heath.
They had a mess of kids, Harland is the second born of seven in total and he was the biggest of them all, the quietest of them and the protector, he served his pack faithfully even dropping out of school for them. Everything was good until Harland already in his early twenties blew up on some local yokels who were harassing his sister's, for some time he had been patient with it letting the pack elders handle it but when it looked like they weren't going to do much Harland put six of them in the hospital. Severally beating them more like it almost exposing their pack came with a unanimous vote: the Shaw family had to leave their community.
One Colorado cousin later they connected with the sole Shaw to have remained in their family hometown: Sweetwater Colorado. The Shaw's arrival sparked the small community of werewolves already in Sweetwater to unify into one, they were one of the first families to swear and help form the Shadowridge pack Harland serving for fifteen years. Two years ago he became a Sentinel for the Shadowridge pack mostly as a recruiter but lately he's handled watching the Bloodrose pack. Harland inherited the Sweetest Water bar from the previous owner, cousin Bosco Shaw, the one Shaw that stayed behind because Harland worked as the cook when he first arrived in town. Harland can do it all from serving, bartending, cooking, paperwork, and security. Pack benefits from the income, new pack members have jobs if need be (most of the staff is wolf), and Harland hears it all about Sweetwater when lips are drunk.
