Silver Arena Enclosure Discussion - Open House

The Silver Arena holds a significant place in our community, and we believe that enclosing it presents a remarkable opportunity for its future. By enclosing the arena, we aim to enhance its versatility, ensuring its usability all year round for various events, such as concerts, exhibitions, sports tournaments, and community gatherings.

During the Open House, we will provide information about the proposed enclosure project and its potential benefits for the community. We value your insights, expertise, and opinions, and this event serves as an excellent platform to gather feedback and address any thoughts you may have regarding the project.

We truly believe that this endeavor will have a positive impact on our community, attracting new opportunities, boosting the local economy, and fostering a vibrant social and cultural atmosphere. We would be honored to have your presence at the Open House to share your invaluable thoughts, suggestions, and support.

Light refreshments will be served during the event, offering a relaxed environment for networking and engaging in fruitful conversations with fellow community leaders and stakeholders. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to tour the Wyoming State Fairgrounds Silver Arena area at the close of the open house, giving you an in-depth understanding of the potential project’s context.

Together, we can shape the future of our community and ensure that the Silver Arena continues to be a cherished asset for generations to come.

We hope to see you next Tuesday at 5pm!

Military Appreciation Day
2022-08-17
The Wyoming State Fair will be hosting Military Appreciation Day on Wednesday, August 17th. The festivities are presented by Wyoming Rural Electric Cooperatives and the Wyoming Military Department. In gratitude for everything the members of the Military have done for our country, communities, and families, the Wyoming State Fair hosts the annual appreciation day in celebration. The Wyoming Rural Electric Cooperatives will be distributing 75 complementary rodeo tickets to military members and veterans at their booth on the midway.
The PRCA Rodeo will feature a Mounted Color Guard ceremony, military branch songs played by local high school bands, the National Anthem, and an invocation.
With banners hung high to signify Military Appreciation Day, fair goers can also expect various military equipment on display, ROTC youth handing out flags, and other festivities to celebrate our members of the military.
“To me Military Appreciation Day at the Wyoming State Fair is a day to acknowledge, honor and remember the sacrifices that have been made by our past and present military personnel to keep us safe and our country free.”, states Becky Condie, Member Services Coordinator of the Wheatland Rural Electric Association. We encourage all military members to come enjoy the Wyoming State Fair this year, as we thank them for their service.
