News ReleaseThe City of Sheridan and the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce will kick off the second year of “Get Your Paws on Some Chamber Bucks” promotion on Monday, April 8. According to a media release from the Chamber, the goal of the campaign is to help support Sheridan businesses located within the Sheridan Main Street Resurfacing and Utility Upgrade Project and encourage the community to continue visiting their favorite Main Street businesses throughout the construction project.
Much like the Chamber’s annual “Get Caught Shopping” campaign at Christmas, volunteers will be out looking for people who are supporting businesses within the construction zone. Those caught will be awarded $100 in Chamber Bucks that they can spend immediately. Each week through Saturday, August 24, $100 in Chamber Bucks will be given away. The promotion began in 2023 during the first year of the project. A total of $4,000 in Chamber Bucks will be awarded throughout the two-year campaign. Chamber Bucks is an actual check issued on a Chamber of Commerce account to be used just like a personal check or cash and can be used as payment at most Sheridan County businesses. Chamber Bucks keep dollars in the local community. Last year, the Chamber issued over $212,000 in Chamber Bucks.
