Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Stroll Button and why should I buy one?
A Stroll Button is a $5, individually numbered button sold by the Chamber and participating businesses. Button holders can win prizes by finding their matching number in a business and can also be rewarded with Chamber Bucks if "caught shopping" by secret elves.
How can I win prizes at the Christmas Stroll?
There are two main ways to win: find the business with the matching number to your Stroll button for a prize of at least $50 value, or get "caught shopping" by a secret elf while wearing your button in a participating store to receive Chamber Bucks.
What are Chamber Bucks?
Chamber Bucks are gift certificates that function like cash at most Sheridan County businesses, helping to keep money circulating within the local community.
What is the "Get Caught Shopping" event?
Starting on Stroll day and continuing on Saturdays through Christmas, secret "elves" look for shoppers wearing their Stroll buttons in participating businesses. If caught, shoppers can be rewarded with Chamber Bucks.
How can businesses participate in the Christmas Stroll?
Businesses can participate by selling Stroll buttons, displaying a matching number for prize drawings, and by being part of the "Get Caught Shopping" initiative. They can also enter the Lighting & Decorating Contest.
