Play description:
Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history—a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. ~DPS

Join the Wyoming Outdoor Council and partners at the first WYlder Market, a vendor fair for anyone working at or interested in the intersection of ecosystem and community stewardship. Stop by David Street Station in downtown Casper from 5–8 p.m. on May 30 for some great conversations, artwork, music, and food. While you're there, visit a booth to connect with various nonprofits and learn more about programming available around the state.

The Market is part of the WYlder Festival - one-of-a-kind event from May 30–June 1 in Casper, Wyoming. The Festival will gather our statewide community —including citizens, Tribal members, businesses, organizations, and artists — to explore our collective role in caring for Wyoming's landscapes and people.

Join us on Friday, May 30 from 5 – 7 p.m. for the community exhibition opening of "The Great Elephant Migration." This is a FREE community event.

This installation will feature 30 life-size elephants, sculptured from Lantana camara, on the Museum’s Sculpture Trail. Each elephant is a replica of an elephant living in Tamil Nadu, in southern India, sculpted by local Indigenous artisans known as The Real Elephant Collective. This campaign, launched in July 2024 in Newport, RI, began with 100 magnificent Indian elephants migrating across the United States to share their coexistence story with the world. "The Great Elephant Migration" supports conservation NGOs around the world who have found ways to live alongside lions, leopards, elephants, and some of the planet’s most vulnerable animals. As the elephants travel the world, they will tell the story of Asia’s wild elephants and the Indigenous communities living alongside them, where people and elephants coexist in the densest populations in the world. During the opening event at the Museum, welcome the herd while enjoying free vegetarian samosas from Everest Momo Shack + complimentary cocktails or nonalcoholic drinks from Bar-SIP-Bar. Weather permitting, the food and beverage will be served in the roundabout on the South end of the Sculpture Trail.

Acclaimed Blackfeet painter and ledger artist Terrance Guardipee will lead a blessing of the elephants. Attendees are encouraged to explore the Sculpture Trail to see our other outdoor exhibition, "Prismatic Menagerie: Origami-Inspired Sculptures by Hacer." Participants are also welcome to explore our indoor exhibits, including the summer exhibitions "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" and "A Conceptual Thread."

The Pilot Hill 25K Classic is the oldest continuously run footrace in Wyoming. The race has its roots back in the 1970’s when a group of local runners and university cross country team members decided to begin their summer training by racing from Laramie to the top of Pilot Hill and back down. At that time, trail running was a “fringe sport” — the running boom that was sweeping the nation was confined primarily to the roads. Pilot Hill holds true to its roots by providing a “down home” race that won’t break the bank while celebrating the sport that all of us love.

The Pilot Hill Race is run on rugged two-track and single-track trails. It crosses sandy flats, runs over low-grade hills, and climbs up (and descends down) gnarly weathered limestone. The top of Pilot Hill (at 8600 ft) is one of the highest points in the Sherman Mountains (Laramie Range) that sits east of the town of Laramie. From the top, you will be greeted by views of the Laramie Valley and across to the west to the Snowy Range of the Medicine Bow Mountains, and to the south in Colorado, the Rawahs and Front Range.

Following the race, relax at the finish line and enjoy food and refreshments. Don't forget a camp chair!

Proceeds from this event will be donated to Pilot Hill Inc.

Join SCLT Director of Conservation John Graves and the Bighorn Fence Initiative as we complete the first phase of a wildlife friendly-fencing project to make the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area more friendly for wildlife, such as mule deer and white-tailed deer.

Together, we will remove the old barbed-wire fence to clear a path for a new wildlife-friendly fence that will be installed this summer. Your help will help make it easier for wildlife to move safely across the Big Goose Natural Area.

This project is part of SCLT’s work stewarding this resource on the edge of our growing community, ensuring it remains open, accessible, and working for generations to come.

When: Saturday, May 31, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Where: SCLT Big Goose Natural Area, located at 14 Lane Ln, Sheridan.

What to bring: Please wear comfortable outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes or boots. We recommend dressing in layers and wearing long sleeves and pants. Bring work gloves and fencing tools, if possible. SCLT will have some gloves and tools available. Please bring a water bottle and sun protection. Bug spray may come in handy. We will be working on uneven ground and possibly in grass and brush. Ticks, mosquitoes, and rattlesnakes are all present at the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area. No pets, please.
