Clearmont Day 2025 To Be Held on June 28

This year Clearmont Day will be held on June 28. The Clearmont Day Celebration is over 100 years old. Although in 1920 it was held in the fall instead of in the spring.

This announcement was from the Sheridan Enterprise September 11, 1920 – Clearmont Day Saturday, Sept. 11^th – Clearmont, Wyo., Sept. 10, 1920. –To Everybody in General: We, the people of Clearmont, invite you to partake of our hospitality on Clearmont Day, tomorrow, Sept. 11.

On Monday, May 12, the Clearmont Day Planning Committee held it’s monthly meeting to discuss the schedule for the day. Committee member Karen Carvalho unveiled the banner which will be hung across the street next week advertising the day. The banner can be used year after year, with just a change of the date, which can be Velcroed on.

There was a discussion with Chris Schock, Mayor of Clearmont and Pete Bassett, town maintenance man, about how best to hang the banner.

Carvalho displayed some craft projects from Home Depot, which will be offered for the youngsters to make during Clearmont Day.

The Clear Creek Recreation District donated several small bird houses the kids can paint and decorate.

There was considerable discussion about what streets should be blocked off during the celebration. Water Street near the park will be blocked off, as well as New York Avenue. The committee also discussed offering handicapped parking during the day.

Last year the antique cars were parked in the street near Town Hall, but they were not in view of the park. This year Amy Rowe, Committee chairman felt they should be parked on New York Avenue, so people in the park could see them.

Rowe added that there will be a corn hole tournament, music throughout the afternoon, as well as a chicken poop bingo game.

There are free hamburgers served at noon, and attendees are asked to bring a side, salad or a dessert to share along with the hamburgers. Powder River Energy Foundation is again donating the beef for the hamburgers.

Mayor Schock added that next years, since it is the 250th anniversary of the United States, that he hoped to plan a parade and other activities for Clearmont Day.

Rowe mentioned that they have a facebook page, Clearmont Day, Clearmont, Wy – Facebook

There will be another meeting on June 9, at 7 p.m. at the Clearmont Community Center. All are welcome to attend.
