SHERIDAN MAIN STREET PROJECT | UPDATED CLOSURES
With another section of Main Street closed from Grinnell Street to Brundage Street there is a new list of businesses in the closure. All affected businesses in the closure are listed below and the bear paws indicate which stores have alley access and side street access (to the best of our knowledge). Many downtown businesses have taken the time to spruce up their back alley entrances to allow better access to their stores. As a reminder, sidewalks on Main Street will remain open during the road closures and there are free public parking lots close to downtown to accommodate easy access to businesses! Thank you for Bearing With Us as we navigate through this time as a downtown community.

SPOTLIGHT | PUZZLE’S GAME & HOBBY
Halen McMahan opened Puzzle's Game & Hobby in 2018. The storefront is connected to Brian's Boot & Shoe Company and has its own entrance. Although Puzzle’s is a smaller retail space, Halen has a lot of inventory for the gaming customer. He is extremely knowledgeable about games from puzzles to more complicated miniature wargames like Warhammer. Halen sells board games, tabletop games, and mini-war games, role-play games, and puzzles. When asked what sets him apart from a traditional hobby store, Halen stated that “I sell more interesting and fun board games that are not your traditional Monopoly style.” Think Risk and beyond. Halen picked up a box and said, “If you want a game to bust out on a whim, I suggest Costume Party Detective. It’s fun and always different!” In chatting with Halen he mentioned that he loves chatting and nerding out with people! He said, “Stop in and let’s talk shop about D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) and Warhammer!” Halen is happy to assist in finding your next new hobby obsession! Halen also works next door at Brian’s Boots & Shoe Co., when he’s not assisting customers with their footwear needs, he is at Puzzle’s Game and Hobby. That means he’s pretty much always at the store on one side or the other and ready to help with anything you need. As a reminder, customers can access Puzzle’s via sidewalks during construction, or through Brian’s Boots back-alley entrance, just look for the sign on the door of the boot store.

SPOTLIGHT | THE SPORT STOP
Founded in 1977, The Sport Stop started off small with a limited amount of sporting goods and footwear. Eventually, the store was able to expand into more categories and break into the outdoor market. Karen Powers bought out her partner and brought in her daughter, Michelle Maneval, as her partner and General Manager. The Sport Stop, LTD now occupies several storefronts in Historic Downtown Sheridan. At The Sport Stop, the staff members believe in the products they stock and in their knowledge about them. Manager, Roger Martinez, enjoys talking with people about the outdoors and the brands they carry. Roger walked around the store and showcased all of the products and styles The Sport Stop currently has in stock. He said the best part about their store is that there are prices to fit any budget! He held up a button-up shirt for around $30, then next to it a similar style for $70. It shows that the purchasing at the store is intentional for downtown. When speaking to Roger, one of the products he pointed out that he was most passionate about is the new Parakito brand mosquito repellant. Parakito is deet-free and comes as a roll-on applicator or a bracelet. This product comes at a stellar time because of the mass influx of mosquitos this year! Yay for rain, not so yay for the little insect monsters spoiling the outdoor experience. Speaking of outdoor experience, if you are planning your next adventure or want to know what your [...]
