Sheridan Main Street, Inc. conducted their annual SummerFest event on Saturday. Organizers indicated nearly 1,000 people attended the downtown Sheridan event.
“We felt our first year was a great success, but we could not have done it without the support of our community and our sponsors,” said Michelle Junkins of Sheridan Main Street.
