Join us for our In Bloom 2022 fundraiser presented by Sheridan Media on Saturday, September 10 at the Whitney Center for the Arts at Sheridan College, Rooms W235-236.

You will learn about how Native American Tribes utilized Yellowstone for 11,000 years from archaeologist Dr. Douglas MacDonald. He will tell stories, share experiences and insights from his time leading cutting-edge archaeological excavations in Yellowstone National Park.

The evening will include a live & silent auction featuring many fun items and experiences and include a raffle for a Weatherby Element® Semi-Auto 20 Gauge Shotgunn. We will also hold a Paddle Raise to help conserve local lands & ranches, preserve & tell stories about our local history and connect our community to the outdoors.

The fun will begin with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres & desserts. Full event schedule below.
