Sheridan Historical Society to hold open house for Bud Wright

On Sunday, Aug. 3, from 1 to 4 p.m., the Sheridan Historical Society will hold an open house salute to the life and coaching career of retired Sheridan Blackhawk football coach Bud Wright. Coach Wright was coach for over 50 years, and his tenure included nine Indiana state football championships. Hundreds of young men played for him, many went on to play the game in college, and a few even went on to play at the professional level.

The Sheridan Historical Society invites all former players and their families, all coaching and teaching colleagues, and all other individuals associated with Coach Wright in some way or another to attend this event honoring his storied career as one of Indiana’s premier football coaches.

The event will take place at the Society’s Museum, located at 315 S. Main St. in beautiful uptown Sheridan, still on the country side of greater Hamilton County. Light refreshments will be served.

Please plan to come by and wish Coach Wright well in his retirement.
