Entrepreneur Spotlight: Matt Lockhart
We’re very excited to kick off our Entrepreneur Spotlight blog series with a look at a good friend of ours in Laramie – Matt Lockhart! Levi & I have had the honor of getting to know the Lockhart family through our Laramie Dance & Arts Center in Laramie. Matt and his lovely wife Davina own two locations for The Human Bean in Laramie – on the east side of town (a convenient walk from UW’s War Memorial Stadium), and a brand new second location in West Laramie (easy to find right off Snowy Range Road on your way to adventure via Highways 130 or 230!) Matt and Davina are generous…

Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity – Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
Two weeks ago, I finally got back in the dirt at the Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity at the Archer Complex in Cheyenne—and it felt good to be home behind the lens. There’s just something about the smell of arena dirt, the energy of the crowd, and the sound of broncs being loaded in the chutes that flips a switch for me every time. The Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity, presented by Pine Bluffs Distilling along with Hell on Wheels Rodeo Company, Visit Cheyenne, and Laramie County Events, had been building momentum for several years, and this year’s event proved exactly why. The stands were full…

Heading into Vegas: 5 Big Storylines for the 2025 NFR — Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
As we prepare for the energy, excitement, and suspense of what is the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), I thought I’d share some storylines heading into this year’s Super Bowl of Rodeo. It is important to note at the onset, while I capture a lot of rodeo action through the lens, I am not a “carded” PRCA photographer and thus do not have access to “shoot” the National Finals Rodeo. PRCA photographers must go through a comprehensive process to get their card, and even then, they must be selected to shoot the NFR. While I await news on my recent PRCA application, I continue “shooting” amateur, youth, and pro rodeos…

Fall Colors with Steve Stanze
I was up in Laramie, Wyoming last weekend visiting my grandparents with my sister. We came up to visit them for two weeks when we were kids and wanted to relive some of the memories. Saw a mama moose and two babies right off a trail in Vedauwoo and caught the beautiful scenery in the Snowy Range Mountains. –Steve Stanze, St. Louis *(Thanks, Steve!)*

MY WYOMING A Trip Down Memory Lane in Sheridan plus Buffalo and Two Mountain Passes By Bill Sniffin As readers of this column know, I am no fan of the “new” JC Penney Company. It is my contention that old James Cash Penney (whose first store was right here in Wyoming, in Kemmerer), is spinning in his grave as how his successors have managed to ruin that company. But I loved the old Penney’s and I took a trip down memory lane at that company’s long-time store on Main Street of Sheridan recently. There, smack in the heart of the town, is an old-fashioned Penney Store, complete with a basement, a…

EXPLORE WYOMING: Mountain View Hotel, Centennial
THE MOUNTAIN VIEW HOTEL CENTENNIAL, WYOMING 307.742.3588 www.themountainviewhotel.com On April 1, Levi & I were treated to a night at the Mountain View Hotel, a historic establishment in Centennial, just about 30 miles west of Laramie on US Highway 130. Due to our crazy lifestyle with our businesses, we weren’t able to make it until later that Friday evening. However, the owners, Kat & Mike, were kind to us and showed us around, regardless of the hour – part of that Wyoming hospitality that they literally offer around the clock. Fine hospitality at the Mountain View Hotel isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is something Kat & Mike…
