30th Annual Downtown Bozeman Christmas Stroll

It is that time of year again to bundle up and bring out the family for Bozeman’s annual Christmas Stoll December 4^th from 4:30-7:30 PM. This year marks the 30^th Anniversary of the Downtown Bozeman Christmas Stroll and is sure to be a fun-filled event for all involved.

The 30th Annual Christmas Stroll Poster features the work of Schnee's Graphic Designer Doug Zwang. Doug's submission was chosen by the Downtown Business Association from a pool of entries.

The annual Christmas Stoll is the perfect way to start off the Holiday Season. Many downtown shops extend their business hours for this event and activities abound for young and old alike. Numerous vendors line the streets offering many different types of food and hot beverages as well as hay-wagon rides up and down Main Street and a children’s petting zoo.

This event is free to all and is sponsored by various local businesses. If you would like to help support the annual Christmas Stoll, stroll buttons are available for purchase at many local downtown businesses and cost $3. These buttons will get you into even more great stroll activities hosted at the Emerson Cultural Center and Bozeman Public Library. With every button purchase you will also have a chance to enter to win one of many great prizes, including Bridger Bowl Ski passes! We hope to see you out during this great downtown event!

Times Have Changed

The construction of the new Bozeman parking garage behind Schnee’s corporate offices on Main Street is nearly complete. A bit behind schedule, the Bozeman parking garage is 5 stories (including the basement level) of downtown parking.

Sadly, our view of the Bridger Mountains is completely blotted out, but we look forward to more downtown shopping when the garage is finally opened. Hopefully that day is just around the corner, both for the sake of downtown Bozeman, the construction crew that has been working diligently in all kinds of weather and for our customer service team who have continued to serve our telephone customers over the constant drone of heavy machinery.

New Bozeman based OBoZ Footwear premiers at Schnee’s

Schnee’s is proud to carry a new line of hiking and trail running shoes based right here in Bozeman, Montana. With their name derived from Outdoor Bozeman, newly developed OBoZ innovates outdoor shoes inspired by a love of the wild landscape that surrounds Bozeman. OBoZ strives to help equip people for their outdoor adventures.

In partnership with Trees for the Future, OBoZ will
Plant One Tree for every pair of shoes they sell.

Trees for the Future is an agro-forestry resource center helping people in developing countries improve their rural livelihoods through the introduction of environmentally sustainable land management projects focused on beneficial tree planting.

In addition, OBoZ donates to The Climate Trust that funds projects that curb the amount of emitted carbon dioxide. Their projects range from energy efficiency, renewable energy, sequestration, fuel replacement, cogeneration, material substitution, and transportation efficiency. Through programs like this, OBoZ aims to do more than make shoes, but to also make a difference.

Owned and operated by a small group of passionate industry veterans and life-long outdoor enthusiasts, OBoZ believes in fusing life and sport. They build shoes for outdoor use – shoes with meaningful innovation, solid performance and recognizable quality. They also believe that a business should contribute to a greater common good. It is this belief that makes OBoZ more than just a shoe company.
