Christmas Stroll

In partnership with the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, the Christmas Stroll is held on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It is the official opening of the Christmas shopping season, and the lighting of the Christmas lights. Prizes are offered by all the businesses, bands play on the street corners, there are lots of food and hot drinks, free trolley rides, free wagon rides, and of course Santa Claus himself comes to town aboard an antique fire engine.

Wine Festival 2007

Over 300 people attended the 7th Annual DSA Wine Festival in March 2007. The event was very successful raising over $16,000 for the Downtown Sheridan Association. There were 10 wine and beer vendors giving samples, refreshments were served and there was a large silent auction followed by a live auction of donated goods and services. Proceeds from this fund raiser were used to purchase new rod iron planters for the Main Street in Sheridan.  DSA also provides all the funding for watering and care of the flowers. Sheridan College Horticulture students and DSA volunteers planted the flowers in the college greenhouse and then hung them on lampposts downtown.

To be a volunteer for next year's wine festival contact the DSA Executive Director at (307) 672-8881.  Meetings start in January 2008.
