Good morning, Sheridan.

Sheridan’s Chamber of Commerce unveiled a new community map that shows parks, pathways, community land trust trailheads and local businesses.

CEO Teresa Detimore and Program Development Director Kimberly Jacobson said on Public Pulse the map was created to address county growth and is available free at the Chamber office at 54 S. Main St.—it helps residents and visitors find local offerings.

Downtown Sheridan Association is hosting a professional polo event at the Flying H Polo Club with gates opening at 3 p.m. and the match set for 5 p.m. The event features kids’ foot races at 4 p.m.—long drive competitions, a Champagne Divot Stomp at halftime, and a $20 per car load fee with funds raised supporting downtown enhancement.

Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Boot Hill has served as security for the Sheridan WYO Rodeo for 25 years—marking his longstanding role in the annual event.

Columnist Gail Symons writes that Sheridan’s rodeo unites the community with events like pancake breakfasts, foot races, parades and rodeo competitions.

Her column explains that these activities—from local grassroots shows to Native relay races—keep alive a tradition that began in 1931 + honors hard work and family ties.

Local residents in Sheridan County have come to view black bears as neighbors, though wildlife agents have euthanized offenders who repeatedly enter homes or raid bird feeders.

Officials advise residents to secure garbage and pet food—reducing bear conflicts across the county.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites the public to a presentation on the history of the Story Fish Hatchery—opened in 1909—and its modern role as the largest broodstock facility; the event will begin at 6 p.m. on July 22 at the Story Library and is open to all ages.

On July 10, 2025, officials from the Chamber, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the City of Sheridan held a ribbon cutting for Mill Park and a section of Little Goose Creek along Dow and Lewis Street — a project that restored stream habitat and improved aquatic connectivity.

They also unveiled plans for further creek restoration downtown that will boost recreation and ecological health.

Sheridan County Commissioners held a public hearing on the proposed Penrose County Road as explained by Deputy County Attorney Clint Beaver who served as the Hearing Officer.

Some speakers and Wyoming Game & Fish representatives supported the road but raised concerns about speed limits, parking, and maintenance — the commission closed the hearing without taking action.
