Have your photo taken at the Green River Intergalactic Spaceport; or with the rare subspecies "brightus pinkae Jackalopus"; or in the hot seat of the "Old Pen" gas chamber. Enjoy the arts by viewing The Painting That Should Have Been Burned; walking under the world's largest elk-antler arch; or listening to the band once named "the worst country western band in the western hemisphere." Meet a handsome, truffle-making cowboy; a science-fiction loving artist who created a raku-fired ray gun; and the real-life inspiration for The Horse Whisperer. Whether you're a born-and-raised Wyomingite or a recent transplant, author Dina Mishev will have you laughing out loud as she introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed--right in your own backyard. |
