Good morning, Laramie. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 3rd of November.
BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Dubai chocolate bars are selling for $25 or more in Wyoming gas stations — buyers show interest despite mixed reviews as the bars use rare ingredients like pistachio butter, shredded phyllo, and rose water. Sales remain brisk even as rising pistachio and cocoa prices and knockoff versions at stores like Costco add to the trend's high cost. Cowboy State Daily
CULTURE NEWS
- ➤ During the 1908 New York to Paris auto race, an Italian team racing across Wyoming encountered a pack of wolves that threatened their car and repelled the attack with rifle fire—witnesses later sold the hides for a government bounty. The incident underscored Wyoming's rugged terrain and led to calls for improved roads in the state. Cowboy State Daily
- ➤ Carl Beyer, a native of Powell, is making a new Cold War film called 'Reykjavik' that shows world leaders discussing nuclear arms and will be released next year. He works with partner John Logan Pierson and uses his Wyoming roots and Hollywood experience to solve tough film problems — like strong winds and rough terrain during outdoor shoots. Cowboy State Daily
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ At the University of Wyoming, outgoing President Ed Seidel tested an AI system that answered a campus question about horse care—showing that presidential duties can be delegated and that AI has the potential to transform how the university works. The university announced nearly $9 million in funding to boost AI research, business partnerships, and student opportunities, and Seidel plans to remain in Laramie to teach. Cowboy State Daily
