Over the past 40 plus years, Sheridan County, like many Eastern Montana and
other rural areas in the prairie states region have been fading away.  People
living here know their communities and way of life are facing what could be
viewed as insurmountable economic and social problems. The choice is very
clear. Either find a way to reinvigorate and, if necessary, reinvent the regional
economy, or be prepared to move on. And although many people have, for
most, it's not an option they care to embrace.  Getting a fix on our problems and
finding new ideas and fresh approaches for an ailing economy and lifestyle
through creative marketing, advertising, communications, promotions and
event management is what SCO is all about.
Sheridan County is located in the extreme northeast corner of Montana.  We are based in Plentywood, which is also
the county seat.  Sheridan County Online was officially activated March 1, 2006. The site is updated weekly, daily if
needed. The "Home" or opening page is the directory. It contains current headlines, upcoming events and the latest
blog comments with links directly to the article, calendar page, blog or to other outside supporting websites, plus
many other useful links.

Disclaimer: SCO is not affliated with any other publication or media. It is produced and published by  Alternatives
Magazine and Mountain Publishing.

Editorial Format:
Although the name suggests our format is limited only to Sheridan County, the editorial focus includes happenings
throughout Northeastern Montana, and beyond.

Montana has all the natural renewable resources to make a major impact on a growing bio-energy and enviromental
economy. A diverse geographic landscape, clean, clear air, wide open spaces, sparse population and no significant
traffic producing a healthy atmosphere provides alternative opportunities not available in large metropolitan areas.

Weekly E-Newsletter
