Come enjoy the movie, Stand By Me at the Historic Sidney Theatre.

After learning that a stranger has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four Oregon boys decide to go see the body. On the way, Gordie Lachance (Wil Wheaton), Vern Tessio (Jerry O’Connell), Chris Chambers (River Phoenix) and Teddy Duchamp (Corey Feldman) encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, as they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys’ adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

Tickets are $5.00 and can be purchased in advance.

The Angels in the Attic Craft Show, Sidney Visitors Bureau, Sidney Alive, and the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce are working together to organize a “Shop Hop” of specialty stores and boutiques in the Sidney area.  The “Shop Hop” will run in conjunction with the Angels in the Attic Craft Show, an annual event held at Ross Historical Center in downtown Sidney.

HOW IT WORKS:  Customers will pick up a “Shop Hop” card at any of the participating businesses.  The customer will then need to visit a predetermined number of specialty shops between November 6th and November 9th.  Once you have met the requirement, he/she will turn in their card and be entered into a drawing for a grand prize valued at $500.
