Howdy %%FIRST:Partner%% Eleventh Annual Christmas Stroll, Sheridan, Wyoming 
Visitors to Sheridan, Wyoming this holiday season will find plenty of reasons for Christmas cheer. The Christmas Stroll, a month-long celebration and one of northern Wyoming's largest retail promotions of the year, kicks off in Sheridan the day after Thanksgiving. Shoppers "stroll" the streets, visiting over 100 participating businesses while enjoying a variety of festivities. "The Stroll is a Sheridan tradition," said Melissa Butcher, Executive Director of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce. "Historic downtown Sheridan is transformed into a winter wonderland, visitors and local families come out together to celebrate and shop, and you can’t help but get caught up in the Christmas spirit!" Sheridan’s Main Street is closed off to vehicle traffic, entertainment is scheduled in businesses, and vendors hawk their wares on the street. Santa and Mrs. Claus hear the Christmas wishes of hundreds of children at City Hall, and strollers enjoy carriage, hay wagon, trolley, and fire truck rides. A huge fireworks display serves as the grand finale for a memorable evening. Dreaming of finding just the right gift for everyone on your shopping list this Christmas season? Tired of arriving at Christmas morning feeling like you lost the spirit of the holiday in the frenzy? Find the perfect gift and turn this year’s Christmas shopping into a special family outing at the 11th Annual Christmas Stroll in historic downtown Sheridan, Wyoming. The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the Downtown Sheridan Association, has sponsored the Christmas Stroll each year since 1996. Starting the Friday following Thanksgiving, November 24, and continuing through Christmas Eve, the Stroll now attracts thousands of shoppers to Sheridan’s historic downtown and surrounding areas on the opening night alone. 
Most of those shoppers sport a brightly colored "Stroll button" on their lapel. Demand is high for these unique buttons, each of which features a unique number from 1-4000. The Stroll buttons are sold by businesses starting November 13, 2006. On the opening night of Stroll, the participating businesses post winning numbers in their store, and the lucky stroller whose number matches that posted in a business wins a gift from that business. This unique promotion continues throughout the holiday season.
