Please find answers to guests' frequently asked questions about the 40th Anniversary Gala.
I DO NOT LIVE IN THE AREA. WHERE CAN I STAY?
We have secured a room block with a special rate at the Historic Sheridan Inn, so please call their front desk at 307-674-2178 and mention the Ucross 40th Anniversary Gala to book accommodations.
I REGISTERED ONLINE, SO WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TICKET?
Please note that there are no physical tickets; you will simply check in when you arrive at the gala.
(Note that there will be no ticket purchases available at the door. Buy tickets online here or by calling 307-737-2291.)
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
The dress code is Western Cocktail: Cocktail, with Western flair if desired. As you plan your footwear, note that the parking lot is in a mowed grass field, just a two-minute walk from the Ucross Art Gallery, with the option of an onsite shuttle.
WHERE IS THE GALA?
The 40th Anniversary Gala will begin at the Ucross Art Gallery, located at 30 Big Red Lane. If you are driving and are new to Ucross, we recommend you use your preferred map app to find us. A complimentary shuttle service will also be available; details below.
HOW DO I BOOK THE SHUTTLE?
Ucross is offering complimentary shuttles to and from Sheridan, with required advance registration by Sunday, September 17. All shuttles will depart from Sheridan Tractor Supply, located at 1140 East Brundage Lane. (The business has kindly offered to allow our guests to park onsite during the event.)
All shuttles will depart from Ucross when the event concludes, at approximately 9:00 p.m.
I WORK UNTIL 5 O'CLOCK. WILL THIS IMPACT MY GALA EXPERIENCE?
You will still have a magical evening! Ucross is about a half-hour from Sheridan and 20 minutes from Buffalo. The open-format cocktail reception will run until around 6:15 p.m., so you will have plenty of time to get to the Ucross Art Gallery, enjoy a drink, and soak up our beautiful surroundings before the seated program begins at 6:30 p.m.
