Jesse D. Schell, Valentine.

Plans have been put into place for this year’s Valentine’s Heart of Christmas Celebration marking its eighth year, set to occur on Shop Small Town Saturday, which is Saturday, November 25. The parade will be held on the newly updated Main Street.

When the weather dips below freezing in Valentine, most of the city’s residents do their best to stay indoors as much as possible. But in 2022, roughly 100 community members volunteered to stand outside, braving biting winds,and bonechilling temperatures, at times, to ring bells for needed donations. Since the Salvation Army first began collecting donations in kettles in the late 1800s, the organization has relied on volunteers to do the bulk of its bell ringing.

Even though the time has fallen back, Economic Development, along with partners: Valentine Chamber of Commerce, Cherry County Tourism, City of Valentine, Valentine Area Arts Council and Sandhills Area Foundation, are looking forward to a new Creative District.
