When Zac Brown Band takes the stage tonight, Cheyenne Frontier Days will officially be underway. Every year, it seems that CFD wins awards for having such a stellar outdoor rodeo, but the concert lineup seems to get stronger and stronger each year as well.

The H.O.G. rally will make Laramie their home for the next few days, with scheduled events through Saturday night, primarily taking place at the Holiday Inn in Laramie. Some of the events will be at Laramie’s Hilton Garden Inn, and it’s no big surprise, but there will also be events at Hi

Hot temperatures, strong winds, dry conditions have plagued the area, and fires continue to rise throughout Wyoming and Colorado, with a half dozen significant wildfires in the two states.

On Saturday, June 23, Spring Wind in Laramie will be hosting an Open House, to celebrate the Grand Opening of their West Wing.

On Saturday, March 31, a free exhibition at the University of Wyoming Art Museum will open titled, “Journeys along the Sepik River: Tribal Art from Papua New Guinea.” The exhibition would never be happening, were it not for a gift recently acquired by the UW Art Museum.

Nurses and area nurses with the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper will soon have the opportunity to advance their degrees in nursing, thanks to a $1 million donation to the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing at the University of Wyoming.
