Our mission is the same as in the past – collecting toys and gifts to make sure no Casper child goes without this Christmas – and feeding them well beyond the holidays, with the vital Weekend Food Bags provided through the Wyoming Food for Thought Project.

This year's event is happening on Saturday, December 4 at the Clarion Inn. Doors will open at 5pm for a Happy Hour, and Hors-d'oeuvres will be served at that time as well.

The holidays are undoubtedly a stressful time of year and truly ugly Christmas apparel is a great way to get everyone to relax a little bit. Whether you're looking to be the clown in family photos or headed to an ugly sweater-themed event, deck yourself out with any of these options and you're sure to steal the show.

On Saturday, scores of Casper residents descended upon the downtown area for lights, cameras, and a whole lot of action. It was 'Christmas at the Movies' in Casper, and all of the big ones were represented in some way, shape, or form.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Casper and there are only a few more sleeps before this year's Christmas Parade and Celebration in Downtown Casper, taking place on Saturday, November 27.

Walmart, Target, and other major retail stores have announced that they will, in fact, be closed on Thanksgiving Day.

The Casper Area Chamber of Commerce wants your ideas for what the theme of this year's Christmas parade should be.

'I lost my grandpa on December 14 to COVID. He battled for over a month. I got it to protect my family and community, so hopefully they don’t have to lose a loved one. It gives me peace of mind that, as a nurse being exposed to the virus, I’m doing what I can to protect everyone else around me.'

Packing away all of your holiday gear can be kind of a drag, but at least with great storage solutions, it can be easy. Christmas clean up is a breeze when you’ve got the right tools!

“As a parent, it means a lot,” she said with tears in her eyes. “You struggle to try and give your kids everything and then, when you can’t give them something on Christmas, it breaks your heart. To be able to have an opportunity to get that, and then you don’t have to feel like a bad parent, it’s amazing. It’s a great feeling.”
