2023 Christmas Stroll Theme Announced; Students Invited to Submit Designs for Button Contest

Summer may be right around the corner, but the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce is thinking about Christmas Stroll! It is time once again for area children to submit their designs for the 2023 Sheridan Christmas Stroll Button Design Contest.

The theme for the 2023 Christmas Stroll is “Candy Cane Christmas Stroll.”

Sheridan County students in Grades 1 through 6 are encouraged to submit their designs for the Stroll Button. Stroll Button Design entry forms are available at all county elementary schools, the Chamber office at 54 S. Main St., Kid Curious at 129 N. Main St. and here:

The winning design will be chosen by the Stroll Committee, based upon how well it reflects the theme “Candy Cane Christmas Stroll.” The winning artist receives $100 in Chamber Bucks, their framed Stroll Button Design and Stroll Button No. 1.

Entries are due June 5 and can be mailed to the Chamber at P.O. Box 707, Sheridan, or dropped off at the Chamber Office at 54 S. Main St.

If you know a student in this age group, encourage them to submit a drawing. You never know who the next winning artist may be!

The 2023 Christmas Stroll event will be Nov. 24, the Friday after Thanksgiving.
