Wind River Canyon Study
Have you driven through the stunning Wind River Canyon lately? This iconic Wyoming route on US 20/WY 789 is a breathtaking drive for locals, tourists, and everyone in between—but it's also the ONLY main path connecting communities north and south of the Wind River Range. When rockfalls, landslides, weather, or incidents close the canyon, it can mean hours- or even days-long detours that impact families, businesses, and daily life. WYDOT, working with FHU, Engineering Associates, and project partners, is studying ways to make the corridor safer and more resilient!
They've just launched a new website to hear directly from YOU! Your experiences traveling through the canyon (the good, the challenging, and everything in between) will help shape recommendations for improvements.
Take a few minutes to check it out and share your feedback—it really matters for keeping our communities connected and our roads reliable. Thanks for helping make Wyoming's roads better for all of us!

PAWS for Life Animal League: Updated Price List ~ Changes start on January 12th
At Paws for Life, our mission has always been to provide the best care for every animal that walks through our doors. However, as we all know, the cost of everything—from pet food and medical supplies to veterinary care—has risen significantly and funding has remained unchanged.
To ensure we can continue providing life-saving care, we are making some necessary adjustments to our adoption and surrender fees. Even with these changes, our fees often cover less than half of what it actually costs to have an animal altered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
New Adoption Fees:
Adult Dogs: $150
Puppies: $175
Honor Farm Graduates: $200
Adult Cats: $75
Kittens: $100
New Surrender Fees:
Altered & Vaccinated: $30
Altered & Unvaccinated: $45
Unaltered & Vaccinated: $60
Unaltered & Unvaccinated: $75
We Give Back:
Veterans: 25% OFF adoption fees every day.
Seniors (65+): 25% OFF on the first week of every month.
Senior Animals: 25% OFF to help our "golden" friends find homes.
These changes start on January 12th. We know money is tight for everyone right now. We appreciate your understanding and your continued support of the Paws animals!

ConnectFremontCounty: Important Information for the 2026 Election Cycle
Some important information for the 2026 election cycle:
1) Changes to the postal service mean that dropping your ballot in the mailbox on a given day does not guarantee that date will match the postmark given. Your mail in ballots will need to be sent with plenty of time for the proper postmark!
2) Remember that in Wyoming, you must declare your party registration before the primary filing date opens - you cannot change your party affiliation once those filings begin.
Key information about your ability to participate in the primary election:
Republicans can only vote for Republican candidates and nonpartisan offices
Democrats can only vote for Democrats and nonpartisan offices
Unaffiliated or other party registration can only vote for candidates filing under that designation and nonpartisan offices
If no candidate party matches your registered party, you cannot vote for that office in the primary election
VOTER REGISTRATION IS PURGED BETWEEN ELECTION CYCLES IF YOU MISS VOTING IN AN ELECTION. CHECK TO BE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE!
