The Weekend Roundup in Laramie

Mid-August in Laramie is apparently THE time to do things. And Bosler, because it’s still on the map, and it’s got a big weekend too, with Tom Horn Days. It’s also Lemonade Day, so be sure to support our young entrepreneurs all over town. There are llamas in the park, plenty of live music, and a homemade pie contest. Free shoes and school supplies on Sunday, too!
