Happy Weekend, Journal Tribe,

And here we are at the brink of SIX days of celebrations for the Fourth of July. It just keeps getting better!

Here are the new articles this week:


Under the Gun Again: Cody’s Giant Winchester Rides for the 250th
Wear a Piece of the Legend: The Story of Cody Stone
Grub Steak Expeditions: Meet the Most Overqualified Tour Guides in Cody
This WyoGives Day, Cody Pardners Asks You to Pull Up a Chair
Upper Sunshine Reservoir to be Drained for Infrastructure Repairs

If you want to take photos of the Field of Honor, know that it comes down on Tuesday! The display needs to make way for the parade goers.

Monday: The big event is the USA’s 250th Anniversary Celebration in Meeteetse. There's been a tremendous amount of interest in this event, and hope that it becomes a regular sixth day in our long celebration of the Fourth of July in the area. Also, there's Yoga Night at the Chamberlin Inn, and Run Together Thrive Together at the Scout Statue. One of the last Bingo Night – Cody Fireworks Committee will happen this day as well. There's also still chances to buy raffle tickets to also support the fireworks this year.


Tuesday: There's a Kids Library: Drum Safari at the Cody library, and it's the start of the Cody Stampede Rodeo with the Cody Xtreme Bulls and Bullfighters Only followed by a concert.

Wednesday: Run Together Thrive Together meets again at the Scout to prepare for marathon runs. Chase the Ace Raffle/Fundraiser continues at Brewgards. I need to double check to see if anyone has won yet. If you know, hit reply and let me know. Thanks! Also on Wednesday is the Cody Stampede Rodeo – Law Enforcement/First Responder Night.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
