DOWNTOWN SHERIDAN POLO CUP

DOWNTOWN SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION

POLO CUP

Where does Sheridan come alive most? Downtown! Where do you grab a favorite beverage with an old friend? Downtown! Where do family stores that have been around for over 50 years operate? Downtown! Where do the streets fill up with floats and cheering spectators? Downtown of course! Downtown Sheridan is the heart of our community.

Downtown Sheridan Association (DSA) was originally founded in 1985 but it wasn’t until 1987 that we became incorporated. It is the mission of DSA “To preserve, enhance, and promote historic downtown Sheridan to ensure future prosperity”. Throughout the year, DSA thrives to promote downtown Sheridan – whether it be 52 Sheridan in Bloom, hanging of banners for special events, helping building owners with their façade, working with merchants to attract customers, creating a parklet that travels around from building to building or beautifying downtown with sculptures and other art pieces.

We also carry out our mission by hosting several events. Our year begins in early March, with our annual kickoff event and primary fundraiser: Wine Fest! It is an evening filled with over 100 wines, beers and spirits from the surrounding areas. Starting in June and continuing through September, the 3rd Thursday Street Festivals and the Sheridan Farmers Markets bring people to our downtown every Thursday evening. Vendors line the

main, food trucks cook up fan favorites and music fills the streets. In July, DSA partners with the Sheridan WYO Rodeo during the wildest week in Sheridan to host the First People’s Pow Wow. Hundreds of Native American dancers and drum teams dressed in full regalia, gather on the front lawn of the Historic Sheridan Inn to perform traditional ceremonial dances. The busy month of July concludes with the Goose Creek Polo Cup. DSA is partnering with the Skey Johnston Family and the Flying H Polo Club for the 11th year to bring the community the highest rated polo cup played in the USA all summer! The Goose Creek Polo Cup will take place on Sunday, July 26th at the Flying H Polo Club—adjacent to the Big Horn Equestrian Center. Gates open at 3pm and the Kids Foot Races kicks off the afternoon at 4:30pm. During halftime, spectators gather on the field for the Champagne Divot Stomp; we conclude the evening with Long Ball Drive Calcutta’s for the professionals and amateurs. All funds raised during this event continue to sustain and enhance the Goose Creek Restoration Project; two beautiful mountain fed creek that weave through Sheridan—Little Goose and Big Goose.

Downtown Sheridan is the heart of our community. It is where we gather together to enjoy the convenience and friendliness of hometown businesses, local services, specialty shopping, cultural experiences and unique recreational activities! We would love for you to join us, and continue to be a part of the lifeblood

of our community in Downtown Sheridan!
