A coffee shop in Casper is holding an art show to support Ukraine. The Casper Star-Tribune reports Scarlow’s Art and Coffee will exhibit images from the war in Ukraine. Twenty percent of all proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to United24, a “global digital initiative” started by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A Wyoming man has become a bit of a fan of “Wyoming Traffic Jams.” K2Radio reports Peter Steiger looks forward to a cattle drive that happens just down the road from his house and stops traffic every year. This year, he intentionally left early so that he could meet the cattle drive and get some close pictures.

Lander also had a bit of a traffic jam last week. County10 reports five or six horses got loose on Main Street. The horses were corralled into a church parking lot before making another escape. They traveled down Main with the cops and their owners in tow before ultimately being corralled again near the high school.

And The Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival is searching for area artists for its poster design contest. Buckrail reports the winning artwork will be printed on posters and merchandise. The deadline to apply is April 10.

Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program. In the spring of 2020, she virtually graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in biology with minors in journalism and business. When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
