Hey Friends,
It’s a busy week here in Sherman. Sherman Arts Fest is Saturday Downtown and it’s Homecoming Week! On a personal note our Daughter Paige got nominated for homecoming queen! Last night was the parade and we had a huge turnout downtown. Be sure and cheer on the Bearcats this Friday Night at Bearcat Stadium.
Here’s What We’re Connecting You to This Week!
✅ Sherman Asks for your input on the future of Downtown!
✅ Nothing to do in Sherman you say? This weekend will prove you wrong
✅ Probably the best deal in Real Estate right now.
✅ A new spot downtown to get some of the best ice cream I’ve had in ages
Downtown Sherman Is Changing — And It Could Change How You Spend Your Weekends
From tree-lined festival streets and new urban parks to a refreshed civic district, the city is undergoing a major transformation. The plan includes:
🌳 Over 1.5 acres of new green space
🚗 Nearly 70% more parking
🌲 19% more tree coverage
This isn’t just a facelift; it’s a revitalization designed to bring the community together with walkable spaces, farmers markets, food trucks, and local events.
What do you want to see in the new downtown Sherman? More patios, live music, new shops?
