In podcasts, television programs, and best-selling books, true crime seems to be all the rage. For her part, local historian Cynde Georgen (author of In the Shadow of the Bighorns: A History of Early Sheridan and the Goose Creek Valley of Northern Wyoming) has been researching true crime stories from north-central Wyoming for more than thirty years. Cynde will share stories excerpted from her “hopefully-forthcoming” book Murder Ends It All: Violent Death in North-Central Wyoming, 1877-1941. Free and open to all.

Read to a dog! Children ages 5-12 are invited to join Ruff Readers every first and third Tuesday 3:30 to 4:30pm in Teton County Library's Youth Auditorium. Reading aloud to dogs has proven to help kids develop reading skills, increase enthusiasm for reading, promote confidence and teach them how to interact with animals.

Bird the Amazon lowlands at Manu National Park and the Andes mountains to Abra Malaga Pass at 14,100 feet without even leaving your chair. See birding lodging, birding areas and some of the 367 bird species that Vicki saw last November.
Vicki's first international birding trip in 1993 was to Costa Rica followed by trips to Mexico (Yucatan, Puerto Vallarta, Oaxaca), Galápagos Islands, northern Ecuador, Cuba, southern Peru and most recently Dominican Republic. No matter where Vicki is, she is learning about birds, planning birding trips, and going out birding!

Make a Bird House. A great woodworking starter project involves using power and hand tools to create a birdhouse. By adjusting the hole size and height, you can attract the right birds for your area.

The goal of this conference is to share resources, connections and collaborate with as many organizations and people working in the space of economic development, entrepreneurship, business development, and education. Additionally, as part of our Career & Technical Education (CTE) focus, we know that many of our CTE students across the state will end up working in or managing/operating as a small business. The trades are vital to our economy, and bringing students into the arena of entrepreneurship and business development can provide them with business skills/resources to be part of this nation’s core of small business owners.

We have four incredible keynote speakers, Daymond John, Kristen Hadeed, Gary Schoeniger, and Sean Sherman, all with various backgrounds in business, entrepreneurship, leadership and the trades, and breakout sessions with many of our state partners and organizations presenting on related topics or projects.

Attendees can enjoy live music by Jason Pritchett featuring a special opening set by Wyoming musician Jena Spriggs.
