29-hours of FUN!!! We had our once a year BCWOF this past weekend. Attendance was high, with about 1,000 visitors through the door and 1,000 volunteer hours logged. Even Jason chipped in. I worked through my usually days off because there was so much going on. We opened the Warden's House for the first time since restoration began, hosted a Army Band, watched a funny play about early Laramie, played baseball 1870s style, heard living history presentations from some of Wyoming's most colorful characters, enjoyed a tractor show, tours of the prison, knitting and spinning, old fashioned hats, a blue grass and country western concert, cookout by the Albany County Cowbelles, celebrated a birthday and more... I'm exhausted!
Intern Tiffany with cowboy performer, Rattle Snake Jake
Jason participating in the Butch Cassidy Look-a-Like contest. (He is dressed like a butcher because Robert Leroy Parker worked as a butcher in Rock Springs, WY, thus, "Butch" Cassidy). Straight from work... 
This is the guy who won the contest. He rode in on a horse and was really good with the rope and bull whip.
A cake for intern, photographer, sheriff, prisoner, baseball player, old lady Matt.
Visitors in costume listen to western music by Prickly Pair
Running for Miss Wyoming, Jamie Pond portrays her relative, Miss Fannie Marsh, daughter to Warden James Marsh (1890-1897). Jamie gave the first tour of the newly restored Warden's House.
Thanks for visiting!
