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.

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.

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.

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.
