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.

New to the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo this year is the DockDogs competition. Located between the Arena and the Industrial Building, you can catch the action each night at 3:00, 5:00, 7:00 and 8:30.

Whether you like it or not, there’s no escaping Parade Day in Casper. Downtown shuts down, traffic is clogged and all you can hear is marching bands and fire engines, but you know what? It’s pretty dang cool, especially if you have little kids… and ESPECIALLY if those kids have a sweet tooth.

One of the biggest things to look forward to in Casper each summer is Parade Day! All different kinds of people and businesses put together the most eye-catching floats they can and they arm themselves with candy, prizes, and lots of water for the townsfolk. Everyone in town seems to come out on Parade Day. Indeed, this tradition seems to grow with each passing year. Check out these pics from Parade Day 2012 and let us know what you thought!

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.

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.
