A children's choir, a brass band and three previous governors will all be on hand in Cheyenne on Jan. 3 for the inauguration of Matt Mead as Wyoming's 32nd governor.

Mead and the other four statewide officials will be sworn into office in a public ceremony starting at 10 a.m. at the Cheyenne Civic Center. Following the ceremony, the public is also invited to a free State Capitol reception, which starts at 11:30 a.m.

Later that evening, Mead and incoming first lady Carol Mead will attend an inaugural gala ball at Little America Hotel and Resort in Cheyenne. The black-tie gala is open to the public, though tickets are $100 per person.
