Samuel Stephenson was Little Mr. Defiance and JoLynn Hawk was Little Miss Defiance Saturday. They both rode in the parade at 11 that day. Festivities started the evening before with a CBC dinner and poker run with around 50 participants. Named as Citizen of the Year by the Sheridan Shamocks 4-H was Butch Thomas.
The Parade featured the Sheridan and Parnell Fire Departments, horses, and all four candidates for Republican State Representative shaking hands with prospective supporters and handing out literature. They stayed afterwards to take in the BBQ and talk to people. They then went to Elmo, which was also having festivities that day. The parade was for people of all ages, as kids as young as two, such as Garrett Troutwine, got to ride.
The LifeNet helicopter came that afternoon and a few kids got to sit inside of the helicopter. The Mic-O-Say Tribe performed and there was a scavenger hunt and a 4-wheeler race that drew a good crowd despite the constant threat of rain. The Sheridan Christian Church had an ice cream social, while the United Methodist Church took advantage of the new building and did their bake sale underneath the front to get away from the rains. The 6th Grade Girls Basketball team used the water slide just north of the basketball court to raise funds for upcoming basketball trips; there was no shortage of kids wanting to go up with the weather getting hot in the afternoon.
The Saturday festivities ended with the Gateway Singers performing at Sheridan Christian Church along with a band and fun at Snakebite. People were sporting the new "Sheridan 'Merica" shirts.
