Sheridan families and outdoor enthusiasts are invited to the Sheridan High School Nordic ski team’s Winter Gear Swap on Saturday, Oct. 31. The event runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the EMIT Building, providing a convenient venue for residents to exchange winter‑time gear.
What’s on offer
Swap participants can expect a wide variety of items useful for the colder months. While the focus will be on downhill equipment, vendors will also have cross‑country (classic and skate) ski gear, winter clothing, ice skates, and even fishing supplies. The goal is simple: give community members a place to pass on, upgrade, or sell gear they no longer need.
Supporting the school’s Nordic program
All proceeds from the swap go directly to the Sheridan High School Nordic ski team. The team relies on community backing to cover travel, equipment, and competition fees. By buying or selling at the swap, families help keep the program thriving and ensure students can represent Sheridan on the regional circuit.
How to participate
Anyone can set up a table to display items for sale. No registration fee is required, but volunteers are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot. Buyers should bring cash or a mobile payment app, as many sellers prefer quick, contact‑free transactions.
Why the swap matters
Winter gear can be expensive, and many families find themselves with equipment that no longer fits or is outgrown. The swap reduces waste, saves money, and strengthens neighborhood ties. It also reinforces the tradition of families supporting their local schools—a cornerstone of strong, faith‑centered communities.
Additional community resources
For families looking for further winter‑activity options, the Sheridan Parks & Recreation Department offers public ice‑skating hours at the city rink and beginner cross‑country ski clinics on weekends. Information about these programs is available on the city’s website.
The Winter Gear Swap is a reminder that when neighbors come together, they can both enjoy the season’s sports and bolster the next generation of athletes. Mark your calendar, gather your gently used gear, and join the Sheridan community in supporting its Nordic ski team.
