Partnership between organizations promotes Big Horn County

“It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J.K. Rowling

Big Horn County, Grow Greybull, Lovell Area Chamber and this chamber are partnering again to place ads in the Wyoming Office of Tourism guide and the Yellowstone Journal. We have also partnered to get more Big Horn County stickers. The new stickers will feature a plane from the Museum of Flight & Aerial Firefighting. Way cool.

The stickers were a hit last week in Lander. I spent three days there for a State Parks and Cultural Resource conference. Learned even more about the amazing parks and historic sites in Wyoming. Check them out at https://wyoparks.wyo.gov/. We had great speakers, including Governor Mark Gordon.

The next chamber member meeting is April 10 at noon. Lunch is provided.
