SPOTLIGHT | WYO CANDLE CO.
In August 2018, a small batch of hand-poured soy candles debuted at a local fundraiser, sparking unexpected enthusiasm. Recognizing a golden opportunity, Dwight and Megan Stanislaw, the founders of WYO Candle Co., embarked on a mission to encapsulate the very soul of Wyoming. Their vision? To infuse the rugged Western charm with the tranquility of the outdoors, crafting premium candles destined to delight all who encounter them. A year later, in August 2019, WYO Candle Co. officially opened its doors, bringing to life Dwight and Megan’s vision. Their candles, carefully crafted with scents reminiscent of the untamed spirit of the Wild West, swiftly captivated the hearts of locals and beyond. With each flicker, their creations ignite a sense of nostalgia and adventure, spreading the essence of the frontier to homes near and far. Recently, WYO Candle Co. expanded its offerings to include candle-making events, adding another dimension to the Sheridan community's hands-on experiences. These private classes provide participants with a two-hour immersive journey into the art of candle making, allowing them to blend their own signature scents and take home a custom candle – a tangible memento of their creative endeavor. On May 4th, they launched their latest candle, Sagebrush Prairie, drawing inspiration from a painting by a talented local artist.

SPOTLIGHT | ILLUMINATE CHURCH
Illuminate Church humbly began in the cozy confines of Greg and Taylor Green’s basement, where friends and family gathered in a relaxed atmosphere to worship together. As word spread, more people from the neighborhood joined in, necessitating a move to a larger space. In looking for rental options, Cooley Butler graciously offered Luminous Brewhouse to be their temporary place of worship at no cost. In 2018, they relocated downtown to 38 S. Main Street. Following six years of expansion and growth, they achieved the milestone of purchasing the building in 2024, a testament to answered prayers and the steadfast backing of the community. Taylor shared a fun fact about their current location on the South side: it once served as a National Guard recruitment center. Now, it’s where they hold kids' church, a transformation Taylor finds particularly neat – it’s shifted from recruiting military personnel to recruiting children for Christ. Additionally, there is a powerful symbolism in congregating at church and then spreading the light of Christ onto the mission field. Illuminate’s basement hosts another significant initiative: Clothing Connections. This program offers high-quality clothing to everyone, completely free of charge, promoting dignity and cultivating community care. You’re invited to participate in this transformative endeavor by contributing your gently used clothing. Reach out to the church to learn when you can both shop and donate your clothing.
