Winter is here! While the weather may make you want to stay inside, Wyoming has plenty of events and things to do that should encourage you to get out of the house.
You can take yoga classes to help you keep those New Year’s resolutions. Or, you can enjoy plenty of festivities that might help you break them. The W Lounge is celebrating its one-year anniversary, Mardi Gras, and St. Patrick’s Day, while Gabby’s Café is celebrating Bockfest in early March.
Of course, we can’t forget some tried and true annual Wyoming traditions like the Citizen of the Year awards and the JWC Euchre Tournament.
View the full list of winter events below (January–March).
