Alexis Evans Named Winner of 2022 Christmas Stroll Button Design Contest

The winning design for the 27th Annual Sheridan Christmas Stroll Button Design Contest was unveiled Tuesday at Sheridan City Hall during a special presentation by Sheridan Mayor Rich Bridger, Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce CEO Dixie Johnson and Christmas Stroll Planning Committee Chair Robby Smith. The winning design was created by Sheridan Junior High seventh-grader Alexis Evans, daughter of Travis and Jennifer Evans. The Stroll Planning Committee selected the winning design based on how well it reflected this year’s Stroll theme, “Snow Globe Christmas.” Evans received a framed copy of her button design, the first Stroll button and $100 in Chamber Bucks.

Stroll buttons each have a unique number and are purchased by the public, who begin wearing them at the Christmas Stroll. While shopping locally during Christmas Stroll and through Christmas Eve, button wearers look in participating businesses for the number that matches their Stroll Button. Those with matching numbers win a prize from the business valued at $50 or more. Stroll button purchasers are encouraged to continue wearing their Stroll buttons on Stroll Day and throughout the holiday shopping season for the Chamber’s “Get Caught Shopping” campaign. If caught shopping locally in participating businesses by Chamber elves while wearing their Stroll button, they can win Chamber Bucks in amounts from $25 to $200.

Stroll buttons will be available for purchase by the public the first week of November at the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, 54 South Main Street, and at participating businesses. Cost remains $5 each. This year’s Christmas Stroll will be held from 8 am to 8 pm Friday, November 25. Stroll button holders can begin checking for matching button numbers that morning. Main Street and Grinnell Plaza will be closed from 4 to 8 pm for hay wagon rides, giveaways and more. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be visiting with children and available for photos at the WYO Theater.
