The 2012 Laramie High School Rodeo is set for this weekend at the Hansen Livestock Arena, and your local high school cowboys are looking forward to putting on a great show. The members of the team invite everyone to all the action. Slack is slated for April 14th and 15th at 9 AM. Performance itself is set for Saturday night, April 14th beginning at 7 PM.

Friday the 13th is going to be quite lucky for anyone looking for great musical entertainment, as the Gryphon Theater at the Laramie Plains Civic Center presents Screen Door Porch. The Alt-Country, folk and blues band is based out of Jackson Hole. Band mates Seadar Rose and Aaron Davis have released their Sophomore Album, The Fate & The Fruit.

It’s another chance for everyone in Laramie to enjoy local favorites, Chancy Williams and the Younger Brothers as they make another appearance this Friday and Saturday at the Cowboy Saloon and Dancehall in Downtown Laramie. As you probably know, this home town band is no stranger to the Cowboy Saloon and their performances always make for a memorable evening.

One of the reasons I enjoy living in Laramie is the diverse range of cultural activities. There’s little doubt that I wouldn’t be able to find so many different people from so many different places anywhere but a small college town; speaking of culture and art, Laramie is blessed with some really top notch museums many thanks to the University of Wyoming and others. Here is a quick look at some of the best museums Laramie has to offer.

Well, we are a broadcast and news bunch after all, so we decided (well, actually I decided) to get some input from our Townsquare Media staff about how they think the big game in Indianapolis will shake out. I asked who they thought would win, the final score and the Most Valuable Player of the game. I also gave everyone an opportunity to do a “side bet.”

The first weekend of the spring semester promises to bring some good country music to Laramie as the Cowboy Saloon & Dance Hall, located downtown on 2nd Street, welcomes Corb Lund and Jalan Crossland to the stage on Saturday night, January 14th. The music kicks off at 7PM and it should be a terrific night of entertainment and dancing!

Alright, I’ll be honest with you. I’m not a very good ice fisherman. I love the outdoors and I don’t mind fishing (or drowning worms while I waste hours and hours of time). However, I have friends that are avid, maybe even rabid ice-fishing fans. I spoke to a couple of them recently

This holiday season has been bad news for Sears Holding company which controls Kmart and Sears stores across the country. Performance was so poor that over 100 stores are rumored to be closing across the US; the first 79 projected closures of either K-Mart or Sears stores (and in some markets, both) have been announced out of the corporate headquarters in Illinois.

It’s that time of the year, when the Laramie Jubilee Days Lady in Waiting no longer waits. We had the opportunity to visit with both the Current Miss Laramie Jubilee Days and the incoming Royalty.

Excitement continues to grow with the second week of drawings from Santa's Bag O' Cash. Three lucky winners walked away with Santa Cash last Saturday at that week's featured business: The Boot Barn on North 3rd Street.
