Countdown to Stroll

The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce will host its 31st annual Christmas Stroll from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 27 in downtown Sheridan, encouraging residents and visitors to support local businesses while enjoying holiday activities with friends and neighbors.

This year’s theme is “America’s 250th Christmas,” with a Stroll button designed by Bridger Music. About 130 businesses are participating. Shoppers can purchase buttons at participating businesses or the Chamber office and match their numbers with those displayed inside businesses to win prizes.

Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Teresa Detimore appeared on Sheridan Media’s Pulse alongside Program Development Director Kim Jacobson, who reminded the public that Christmas Stroll isn’t just one day.

Button numbers for businesses run county-wide, patrons are encouraged to check businesses in Ranchester and Dayton. According to Detimore, 3,300 buttons will be sold this year.

On Nov. 27, activities include wagon rides, Christmas caroling, marshmallow roasting and fireworks courtesy of Bruce Burns.
