*BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Join us Friday for more camaraderie.

The last three years we've had a meet-n-greet the night before and ladies have really enjoyed the casual opportunity to chat with their sisters from around the region. This year, we not only have a "night before" gathering but our Wyoming Veterans Commission partners are hosting several activity options.

Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum tour

  • Meet at the Ramkota Hotel at 1 p.m, return by 4 p.m.

Ben Patton Project

The Patton Veterans Project provides an opportunity for Veterans to create short films that express themes and experiences relevant to their service. Veterans who want to take part will watch a couple examples of other films made, then be broken into small groups to create a project which will be shown to the large group at the end.

Meet in front of the hotel at 1:30 p.m., finish by 4 p.m.

Pink Berets hosting evening get-together

The Pink Berets are a nationally recognized organization for women military members and Veterans. They will be hosting this year's Friday evening get-together at the Casper Vet Center, located at 1030 N Poplar St Suite B (walking distance from the hotel.) This casual gathering starts at 6 p.m. and will include light snacks and drinks.
