Two Big Winners from Men’s Night 2017!
Men's Night 2017 brought even more shoppers out and about to our downtown merchants once again. Participating retailers stayed open until 8pm so that men could come in and fulfill the wish lists that were filled out by the ladies earlier in December. Both the ladies who filled out wish lists and the men who went out and shopped we given tickets for participating that then became part of a drawing for two of the prizes donated by local merchants. Big Horn Trading LLC donated a Howa Hogue Foxy Woods .243 Winchester and Kraft's Fine Jewelry donated a TW1 Chablis Pen by William Henry. Both items were redeemed by very excited participants! Peyton Chase was the winner of the pen and Schuyler DelCamp won the rifle. Congratulations to both of the winners and THANK YOU to all of the downtown businesses who participated in the event. Men’s Night Out is a Shop Local campaign sponsored by the Historic District Promotions Committee, a committee of the Downtown Sheridan Association.

I was unsure about what I would walk into and what I would find. However, after a few minutes of being interviewed by Beth Holsinger, I realized that she truly cared about what she did. There was a level of passion in the atmosphere that is hard to capture with words. I realized then that I was somehow in the right place at the right time. Now, every day when I walk into the office inspires me to be a better person. From the first moment when I walk in the door, I am welcomed into a loving atmosphere by the wonderful women that work at DSA. They come to work every day and put their hard work into everything that they do. No matter what happens, these women are always there to listen and to lend a caring shoulder to cry on. It is empowering seeing all [...]
