Around Wyoming brings you news from around the state, keeping you informed with brief updates of stories you may have missed.

Thursday, November 2

A Rock Springs trucking company was critical to the filming of the recently released “Killers of the Flower Moon.” SweetwaterNow reports the movie opens with a main character riding a train. That steam locomotive and its passenger cars had to be hauled from Nevada to Oklahoma first, though. And Corthell Transportation had just the equipment to do it, though it was one of their more unusual cargos.

A Casper mechanic recently placed second in the American National Technician Competition hosted by Subaru. Oil City News reports Chris Raymond first had to win the regional competition before heading to the national one. There, he completed a written test and was given a vehicle with several problems and tasked with identifying and fixing as many as possible within a set time limit.

Wyoming has a new giant pumpkin record. County17 reports that Andy and Amy Corbin of Cheyenne broke the 2021 record with a 2,062 pound pumpkin. They beat the old record by over 500 pounds.

And according to research by Century Link, the predicted top Halloween costume in Wyoming was a zombie. Does that match up with what you saw?

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.
