A Downtown Sterling Holiday Thursday
December 7, 4-8 pm
Grab your your cold weather gear and holiday cheer,
And join in the fun downtown.
There’s a bonfire and s’mores, and music to hear,
And shopping bargains to be found.
Don’t forget your friends and families,
And bring your appetites.
You’ll see Santa and elves and lighted trees,
And plenty of sparkling Christmas lights!

Visitors can enjoy freshly popped popcorn at the nostalgic Clarence’s Corner from 3-7 pm or a chili supper at the Sterling Elks Lodge, 211 Ash St., from 4-7 pm.
There will also be time to tell your Christmas wishes to Santa after the parade in the Logan County Courthouse Gazebo.

So one evening after work, I laced up my walking shoes and took off for a simple stroll around the Overland Trail Recreation Area near the South Platte River on the east side of Sterling. It’s one of my favorite things to do.
From west to east, Sterling is being beautified!
Starting from the west near the Sterling Municipal Airport, a series of bronze sculptures (thanks to the generosity of local cattlemen) have been placed in the medians and along West Main Street as a tribute to our Western roots and with a nod to the importance of agriculture in our community.
Bronze sculptures depicting a cowboy on a bucking horse and a Native American horseback rider were placed in the new raised island medians as part of the Highway 14 construction project completed last year. The sculptures are the final two of five...
