Saturday morning over 100 walkers, runners, and bikers joined forces on a two mile fund-raising jaunt for Legacy Pregancy Resource Center's annual “Walk for Life.” Short and simple, the walk was also a way to bring unity as a way to celebrate life.

It was the best of three-on-three basketball over the weekend as Sheridan once again hosted the 13th annual Hoop Jam Street Basketball Tournament. Attendance was up from last year as 148 teams, 3rd grade through adult, played on 18 courts in the Whitney Plaza in downtown Sheridan.
