One Day Left for the Clearmont Shop Hop

Christmas is coming, and the Clearmont Community urges everyone to do some of their Christmas shopping at this year’s Highway 14/16 Fall Shop Hop, which will continue today from 10-4.

Many vendors are set up in the Clear Creek Recreation District, displaying clothing, jewelry, rocks, baked goods, gift items and much more.

Sheridan County Public Health is at the event, doing health checks and flu shots. Along with Public Health, the Story Lion’s Club is at the event doing vision screening for youngsters. Edie Winters, and her sister, Elaina Winters, of the Lions Club, explained how they were helping.

She added that the seven youngsters that had a referral, they gave the reports to parents so they could take the child to the optometrist.

Two of the vendors who has been at the Shop Hop for many years were Rhonda and Harley Shuck, of Parkman, Wyoming, who, with their daughter Amy Rowe of Clearmont, own A&R Wyoming Inspirations, had a full table of books and crafts. Harley writes science fiction books, which are also featured at the Shop Hop. Rhonda talked about her creations.

The FFA Alumni meat sale was at the shop hop again this year, and FFA member Brindle Vineyard talked about what the money is used for.

Jacob Carvahlo who is also a member of the Clear Creek FFA, added.

Vineyard added that if anyone wants to purchase meat after the Shop Hop they can contact any FFA Alumni.

Merilee Albers, owner of Vintiques, along with Richard Rhoades’ Red Pony Salsa and Red Pony Jalapeno Relish, have been a part of Shop Hop for around 10 years.

She said her best seller this year has been her new ‘Judy Tree.’

Also, at the Vintiques location are local sourdough baked goods from Mill Iron Market. Vintiques is open year around.

Lunch will be served by the Community Church, from 11-2, and donations were accepted.

A popular addition to the Shop Hop is the Best in Bloom workshops. This weekend Bailey Underwood will offer Fall Bouquet Classes on Saturday from 1-3 p.m. Cost is $45 per person, and space is limited. Call Bailey at 307-763-0510 to reserve your space.
