A nearly full moon and chilly 30-degree weather greeted the large crowd of shoppers at the Candy Cane Christmas Stroll 2023

Dixie Johnson, CEO of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, talked about the 2023 Christmas Stroll.

Johnson said that they start selling stroll buttons around the first of November, and they sell them until they are sold out. She said they printed 3000 buttons this year.

She added that although the Chamber is sold out of the buttons, there may still be some available in some businesses.
