Laramie resident Timmy Frazier recently participated in the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show. This year was Frazier's sixth time trying out for the event, which is highly selective because of its popularity.

Turkey curling will return to Laramie this Saturday. The annual community event collects non-perishable food donations for the Eppson Center's Laramie Thanksgiving Dinner. The frozen turkeys that will be sent down the ice are wrapped so they can be used later, too.
