Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 8th of August.
Good morning, Laramie.
🎭 Culture
Wyoming Fringe Festival will run Aug.
21-23 at the Laramie Plains Civic Center, 710 E. Garfield St. The event features 30 acts—music, theater, magic, and visual art—and is organized by the Civic Center and The Lyric with local grant support to grow its audience.
Registration is open for fall classes at Wyoming Dance Collective, an inclusive downtown studio offering lessons from ballet to hip-hop for all ages.
The studio will host a contemporary masterclass from 3:30-5 p.m. + a hip-hop masterclass at 6:30 on Aug. 25 with a spring recital planned.
🎓 Education
On Thursday, UW Trustees’ Budget Committee forwarded state supplemental budget requests for fiscal year starting July 1 (including an $18.6 million grant adjustment and a $4 million Wind River Promise Scholarship) ahead of the Aug.
31 deadline. The full Board will review them before sending them to Gov. Mark Gordon.
🌲 Environment
Pacific Northwest wildfires sent thick smoke into Wyoming early this week, and a Monday cold front sank the haze into local basins — causing poor air quality that is expected to persist through the weekend.
State agencies advise older adults, children and those with respiratory conditions to limit outdoor activities.
