Four-year old Jerzey was among the first of many visitors with Santa and Mrs. Claus at City Hall during the 17th Annual Christmas Stroll. After visiting with Santa & Mrs. Claus, Jerzey turned and gave everyone in Sheridan a big wave and said, "Merry Christmas."
To the delight of many and many, many more once they arrived at City Hall was this joyful couple dressed in red and white
That couple turned out to be none-other than Santa and Mrs. Claus who arrived in the special Burlington Northern Santa Fe train seen here.
Right this way kids!
Once inside City Hall it was all business for Mr. & Mrs. Claus as they visited with youngsters from the area starting with these three who were the very first in line.
I believe that is worth a second look - how about you?
Let's see what Sheridan Fire and Rescue is up to parked infront of City Hall. Looks like they are just standing around with their hands in their pockets.
But look what happens when those hands come out and lift the lid on some of the best chili you've ever eaten - now that is 9-alarm chili
Not far away were the folks from Rocky Mountan Ambulance serving up some tasty drinks
The word "free" was going up as I passed by the People Assistance FOOD BANK - and free is good - right?
Underneath the "Prayer and Healing" sign were these five well equipped smiles to go along with the drinks they were handing out.
Here you could purchase raffle tickets to benefit CHAPS while helping yourself to cider and cinnamon buns AND receive a free smiles TIMES three
Here below the bright lights of the Sheridan Media trailer you could get free hot chocolate without marshmellows - we'll check back later to see the second shift in action.b
The next best place to home is "Bee Hive Homes - you could view their photo album while eating their cookies and more
Near the old "Press Building" you could catch a train ride or just pose below the engineer like this young feller did.
I hope he is a good engineer as this was the first train I've seen with a steering wheel
And off they go with another load of passengers
This bike and rider caught my eye when walking past Back Contry Bikes & Mountain Works

How about this Flute Quartet performing at the Sheridan Artist Guild/Sheridan College Main Street location? I thought a quartet was four!
How about now if we add Ariel Downing?
You could even catch artists at work if you could get your camera up high enough to capture both the artist and the model
Miss Graves all grown up - wow time does fly
At Christmas time a must see window is the one at Cottonwood Kitchen Shop
