The Center Presents: Steve Aoki with openers DJ Cam Rood and DJ Crayon. Counting nearly 3 billion music streams to his name, Steve Aoki is a true visionary. Billboard described the 2x-GRAMMY-nominated music producer, artist, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and Dim Mak Records founder as “one of the most in-demand entertainers in the world.” A Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Traveled Musician in a Single Calendar Year,” Aoki has performed at nearly every top festival around the world, including Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, Lollapalooza, and Electric Daisy Carnival. Aoki also graced recent covers of Entrepreneur Magazine, Electronic Musician, and Adweek as their “Visionary of the Year.”

Aoki has released three Platinum singles, six Gold singles, and over ten Top 10 radio records. His influential record label Dim Mak is known as a launching pad for the careers of prominent acts, including Bloc Party, The Chainsmokers, Bloody Beetroots, The Kills, Zedd, and Diplo.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department, multiple county conservation districts and several nonprofit conservation organizations will offer an educational symposium on virtual fencing for livestock on Jan. 8, 2026 at the Camplex Central Pavilion Building in Gillette.

Virtual fence is a new and evolving technology that manages livestock movement remotely with electronic collars. The systems use auditory cues and electronic pulses to control livestock movement without a physical fence. Virtual fences can reduce time required for building, repairing and maintaining traditional wood or wire fence and allow control of livestock movement remotely via computer or cellphone.

Virtual fencing can also help landowners meet conservation goals such as incorporating rotational grazing, limiting livestock use in sensitive areas such as along streams and supporting increased wildlife movement by animals such as deer, pronghorn and elk.

Representatives from four virtual fence manufacturers – Nofence, Gallagher/eShepherd, Vence and Halter – will attend the symposium to discuss their products and how they work. Representatives from conservation organizations will provide information on funding opportunities for producers wanting to get started with virtual fence and government land management agency personnel will discuss their agency’s virtual fence policies.

The symposium is free, but pre-registration is required. The symposium will begin at 8 a.m. and end approximately 4 p.m. A free lunch will be provided.

Campbell County Public Library is proud to host Spirit of Carl Sandburg: The People's Poet in His Own Words, a emotive and poignant one-man performance by actor and historian Max Walter, on Thursday, January 8 at 6:30pm.

Max Walter brings the words and world of Carl Sandburg (1878–1967) to life through an immersive monologue that blends Sandburg’s poetry, personal letters, folk music, and historical storytelling. He created this Sandburg-estate endorsed play in 2019 after discovering a collection of Sandburg’s complete poems. He later secured permissions to impersonate the poet's likeness as well as present his copyrighted materials. Using 85% of Sandburg’s own words, Walter embodies the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet’s reflections on beauty, democracy, time, music, family, mortality, and the American spirit.

Known as “The People’s Poet,” Sandburg wrote in the language of the everyday American, capturing the voices of both industrial workers and rural farmers. His body of work spans poetry, biography, music, fiction, history, and children’s literature—making him one of the most prolific literary figures in American history.

The performance will also highlight Sandburg’s deep admiration for Abraham Lincoln. Sandburg devoted years to researching and writing a six-volume Lincoln biography and often spoke about the former president’s lasting influence on American democracy.

Join us for an evening of poetry, music, and storytelling that celebrates the life and legacy of a writer who continually reminded Americans of their national identity. The event is free and open to the public.

Elvira and Arturo are brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War. This was Bellini's last opera which is infrequently performed due to the vocal challenges for the principal singers. Great example of bel canto vocal performance.

We will have 30+ Organizations to speak with about their volunteer opportunities, along with three vendors: Ranch Eats, The Florista, and Gentle Perch.
