Chamber to Host Manufacturing Month in October

The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce will celebrate Manufacturing Month throughout October, highlighting local manufacturers and their role in the Sheridan County economy.

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Teresa Detimore said the Chamber began recognizing National Manufacturing Day, held on the first Friday in October, in 2017. Back then it was a one-day event. But the Chamber expanded the observance into a month-long celebration in 2024 to ensure people can find the time to peek behind the curtain of Sheridan’s manufacturing.

Working with Manufacturing Works, the Chamber will offer tours of local manufacturing businesses throughout October, giving residents an opportunity to learn more about the industry, its products and employment opportunities, many of which people know very little about.

A schedule of participating manufacturers and tour dates will be available on the Chamber’s website by Oct. 1.
