The excitement and amount of people this week brings to Sheridan amazing me. Rodeo, live music, parade, pancake freed, street dance, farmer’s market, and many other events. My heart swells to be a part of this community.

I spent last Saturday planting and hanging flowers for the Downtown Sheridan Association. These baskets line our Main Street and get so wonderfully glorious as the summer progresses. Glad I can be a part of Sheridan’s beautification.💗
