Happy Wednesday, Journal Tribe!

Welcome to Cody Rendezvous Royale Art Week! The town is hopping! See the schedule!

THURSDAY: Classes are happening, and there's the Cody Art Show at the Irma, Artisan Meet & Greet at By Western Hands, and if you want an incredible momento of your horse, bring a bundle of tail or mane hair to be premanantly burned into a piece of Horsehair Pottery of your choice. Downtown will be full this evening with the Downtown Cody Art Walk.

FRIDAY: There's a Library Book Sale over in Powell today. Don't miss the Community Fundraiser: Benefit For Kaden Chamley at the Cody Auditorium. There's also the 45th Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale.


SATURDAY: Start your day at the golf course with the Superintendent’s Revenge Golf Tournament. Or head to the Quick Draw and Brunch at the art show. I understand there are a few tickets left. Starting at noon, there will be the Edelweiss Riverhouse Oktoberfest happening. The Cul-De-Sac Cowboys will have the last performance at Brewgards. Over at the Park County Fairgrounds, bring the kids for a Touch-A-Truck Event. And the Patrons Ball takes place at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

SUNDAY: It's Family Day at the rec center today, many brunches in the area, and the Sage Creek Community Picnic happens at 2:00. Wrap up your weekend with Paul Rau playing at the Chamberlin Inn.

Enjoy your weekend!
