Special Olympics

The annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser will be back at the Laramie High School Cafeteria on Thursday for Laramie Special Olympics. Athletes will help serve the dinner and be present to meet and greet with all who attend.

Special Olympics Wyoming is celebrating 40 years during the 2012 Summer Games in Laramie. At the Opening Ceremonies three athletes, John Patton, Donald Graham and Ron Fawcett, were honored for their participation in Special Olympics Wyoming since it began in 1972.

The 40th Anniversary of Special Olympics Wyoming will be celebrated in Laramie during the Summer Games on May 10, 11 & 12. Competition over the three days will include track & field, swimming & diving, basketball, gymnastics and power lifting.

Costumes, cannonballs and a cool dip into Huck Finn Pond are sure to be seen at the Jackalope Jump this Saturday. In addition to the fun atmosphere, the event will raise funds for Special Olympics Wyoming.

Most people think of winter as a time to cuddle up with their loved ones around a fire drinking hot cocoa and enjoying time together, well not the Jackalope Jumpettes! The Jackalope Jumpettes are an amazing team of residents who do the unthinkable each year!
