Now that the CWFR has come and gone, we thought it would behoove us to "take to the streets" and find out what YOU thought of the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo. Here's what we learned: People love The Power, adults are more shy than kids, and bulls are A-holes. Don't believe us? Check out these vids and let us know what YOU loved about the CWFR.
Mmm. Fair food is my absolute favorite kind of food in the world. I spent the entire week at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, and ate an inordinate amount of fair food. I ate burgers, and hot dogs, and corn dogs, and bbq, and funnel cake, and curly fries and ice cream. It was the greatest week of my life. Here are some pictures.
All my life, I've wanted to be a carnival worker (carnie, for short). I'm not exactly sure why- maybe it's the art of the sell, or the allure of taking people's money because they're too stupid to stop playing. Maybe I just like cat-calling people. Whatever the reason, I've always wanted to be one. That will never happen, so I resigned myself to just meeting a few of them at this year's Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo.
It's been a wild ride at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, and we totally intended for that pun. This is because the Rodeo part of the CWFR has been a roller coaster (or a bull ride?) of emotions. There were winners, losers, dreams chases,dreams realized, and dreams crushed as men and women put i all on the line for their shot at glory. Here are just a few photos from the CWFR Finals.
It's been a heckuva week for the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo. All sorts of people came out to ride rides, eat good (but not good for you) food, throw up on their friends, watch the rodeo and more. Here are some pics from the final night of the CWFR.
When Chelsea Strama came to Casper with her company for the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, she had no idea what local beauty awaited her. As she saw the amazing sites that our town had to offer, she knew that she needed to record some of it for prosperity...and to show highlights during the rodeo itself!
The Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo is in full swing, so we thought we would take this opportunity to tell you what our 5 favorite things about the fair are. These options were put together by a steady stream of scientists who spent years calculating the fun ratio of each activity...actually, we just went to the fair one night and came up with them. So with that, here is Our Top 5 Best Parts of the CWFR.
It's easy for us to wax poetic about how great the Parade is. We realize this, so we took to the streets, so to speak, to find out what YOU like about the parade. We interviewed kids, adults, businesses, etc. to find out what Casper actually thinks. And other than wanting to punch clowns in the face, these opinions are strictly yours and have no reflection on the thoughts of us. Except for the clowns. Clowns suck.
While the parade itself may be for kids and families, Parade Day is designated for all ages, as evidenced by the after parties that take place long after the parade has concluded. This year, many bars played host to the after parties that took place.
Admittedly, I’m not much of an animal lover. I love my dog, my sister’s dog, and my girlfriend’s mother (Huzzah!). Other than that, animals don’t really do anything for me. That being said, when I came across the petting zoo at the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, I was like a little kid.
The Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo is back and if opening weekend is any indication, it’s bigger,badder, and better than ever! With numerous rides, games, displays, prizes and choices of food, the CWFR continues to prove why it is the destination hot spot for Casper in July. People of all ages came out to the CWFR on opening weekend, as these pictures can attest to. And one thing can be certain- fun was had by all.
As a kid in Casper Wyoming, our summers revolved around two things- the pool and the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo. So imagine my delight when, one summer when I was 13 years old, I was able to combine the two with my other favorite thing ever- a girl. This is the story of that day.
