The students at Cody High School wish to put on the musical Annie Get Your Gun, a classic musical depicting the colorful life of Annie Oakley, the famous sharp shooter, and her rise to fame on Buffalo Bill´s Wild West Show. Rehearsals will start in late January of 2026 and the show will run April 16-18 in the Wynona Thompson Auditorium.

We will commence America's 250th celebration by commemorating the famous April 18, 1775 ride of Paul Revere. Two lights will be placed at the Irma as we gather for patriotic music, proclamations and community building.

To celebrate the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride, we will host Two Lights for Tomorrow once again in remembrance of that historic night.

In partnership with the Cody Medical Foundation, the Park County America’s 250 committee will be hosting our first Chuckwagon Cookoff with up to 5 competing chuckwagons cooking authentic meals over their campfire. Tickets will be available to the public so you can vote for your favorite chuckwagon meal! Visit https://www.frontierfestivalcody.com/ for more information.

Held annually in Cody, Wyoming, these events feature top-tier bull riders competing against some of the most aggressive and powerful bulls in the world, with the goal of staying atop for a full 8 seconds.

Flags will be up from Flag day (June 14th) to July 1st or July 4th depending on the location.

The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation proposes to bring, Defining Courage, a powerful immersive stage production by renowned news anchor, David Ono, to Park County. The production brings to life the overlooked stories of Japanese American soldiers who served with extraordinary valor during World War II, despite their families being unjustly incarcerated in camps across the country, including Heart Mountain, Wyoming. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, this production offers a timely and meaningful opportunity to reflect on the complexities of American history and the courage it takes to uphold American ideals. By bringing Defining Courage to Park County, we honor this legacy of service and sacrifice, while inviting our Wyoming community to engage in a deeper understanding of patriotism, civil rights, and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union.
