WY Walks for Seniors

On January 17, 24 and 31, WY Walks for Seniors is hosting a 45-minute guided tour at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West Museum in Cody beginning at 10 am. Everyone is welcome but only seniors and their caregivers are admitted for free when they join the morning walk and then they have the rest of the day in the museum to stroll. Participants are encouraged to attend all three dates.

Skyler Ohrt Cookie Jar Auction

There will be a special cookie jar auction fundraiser for Skyler Ohrt on Saturday, February 1 at the fair building. Dinner will be at 5 p.m. and the auction at 6 p.m. Ken Ivie will be providing pulled pork.

Skyler is a fifth grader and about to turn 11 years old. She was born with kidney disease and is on dialysis every night. Now she’s in the end stage of renal disease. About six weeks ago Skyler had a stroke behind her eyes and has lost all her vision. Her mother, Elizabeth Walters, takes care of her at home.

Cookie jars can be dropped off the week of the auction at Paintbrush Dental or at the fair building the day of the event.
