Only have 2 days to visit Sheridan, what would you do? (Cody: home, live)

[Wyomingwannabe]

My wife and I are visiting Sheridan for Labor Day weekend. So, if you only have 2 days to visit the area, what would you do? Can't beat local knowledge.

My wife and I had only four days in Sheridan. Here's what we enjoyed the most: Walking Main Street and going into each and every establishment. Wonderfully welcoming shopkeepers, clean streets and everyone tells you the unvarnished truth.

(Tell Monte at The Mint we said 'Hi.')

The food at the local restaurants was great - Monte can tell you the name of the great sandwich place one block behind and two blocks down from his place. I can't remember the name, only how to get there.

There is a very nice lady at the Sheridan Inn who loves to tell all the secrets of Buffalo Bill Cody when he was there. We enjoyed her knowledge.

ElkHunter can give you the name of the greatest diner we've eaten at in years. It's in Ranchester, about ten miles up the road. Hamburgers/cheeseburgers of world class quality. The waitresses want to know where you are from because they put pins in a map to mark where all their customers are from. I think they have all fifty states and a lot of the countries.

Interesting thing about people in Sheridan. They start their greeting with, "How are you?" And they won't continue the conversation until you tell them. They actually want to know!

Enjoy your visit - we did.

If you have time you may want to take in Don King Days that are held on Sunday and Monday at the Big Horn Equestrian Center. This is always a good time. It is a mixture of good old rodeo events mixed in with some polo all held on the polo fields. I hope whatever you decide to do that you enjoy our area and plan to return with more time

When I read the thread title my first reaction was what Rescue3 wrote – walk Main Street.

Don’t hesitate to walk 2 blocks east on East Alger Street to enjoy Sheridan’s fantastic brew pub, although you will find the various current brews from the Black Tooth Brewery on tap in many of the local watering holes. You can also order food delivered to the brew pub from several of Sheridan’s favorite restaurants. This is an arrangement where the pub supplies the take-out menus. Be there for happy hour and you will meet a lot of local color.

Butch will be the guy dressed as a drugstore cowboy. Don’t be fooled. He’s the real thing.

Thank you for the info so far. Does anyone know what time the Don King Days begin on Sunday?

[ElkHunter]

You can always have coffee at my place. And maybe dip a fishing pole.

I had the greatest joy of meating R3 and his wife. We had a great lunch, took a drive, had a blast.

Come on over, we'll throw a bisquit on the bar-b.

I had to back up and edit this. 2 days in Sheridan, just won't cut it.

EH, if we have time, I want to head up to Ranchester. Maybe we can stop by and say "hi". There is a log home company in Ranchester, that I want to visit also. I agree that 2 days is not enough, but hopefully we will live there some day soon.

Don King Days start at 11 am
