The movie 2012, now in theatres, is centered around a “supervalcano” located in Yellowstone National Park (the nation’s first national park and located in northwestern Wyoming). This epic adventure stars John Cusack and is loaded with special effects that depict the global cataclysm that is possible if the Mayan calendar is correct. Let’s hope it isn’t!

Watch the trailer 2012 clip.

For a less serious storyline be sure to see Did you Hear About the Morgans? This film stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant. They play an estranged New York City couple that witness a murder and are taken into the witness-protection program and are relocated to a small western town in Wyoming. This movie opens December 18.

Watch the trailer. Did you hear about the Morgans?

Remember Close Encounters of the Third Kind? What famous Wyoming monument was featured in that movie?

I have to admit in my younger days I was a Gary Morris groupie. I grew up in Littleton, Colorado. Gary Morris had a band called Breakaway that played at two of our local bars. They always drew a huge crowd and they were fun to dance to. We could always be found Friday and Saturday nights at whatever bar they were playing. Gary Morris left Colorado and went to Nashville where he made the big time with 16 top ten hits and five #1’s. Then he went to New York and played on Broadway in Les Miserables and La Boehm. Gary also had a TV career hosting “North American Sportsman” and had reocurring roles on several TV shows. He is a multi-talented performer with a voice that is incredible.  Now, some 30 years later,  I get to relive my youth and again be a Gary Morris groupie. I am so excited! 
If you want to join me,  Gary performs at 8:00 pm on Saturday, September 26 at the Cody Theatre. Tickets are $25.00 and avaible at the Cody Chamber at 307-587-2777.

Sunday night July 26, Suzy Bogguss performed in Cody. It was an incredible show. The Cody Theatre, where she played, is such a great place for a concert. The sound is fantastic and there are only 300 seats so it’s very intimate. Suzy and her family are vacationing in an RV and she is playing a few gigs along the way.
We were so lucky they included Cody on their trip.
We are very fortunate to have Dan Miller in this community. Not only does he perform an outstanding show himself, with all of his contacts in Nashville he is able to bring in this type of talent for us to enjoy. Thanks Dan!
Suzy is blogging and has webisodes on her trip. Check them out on www.suzybogguss.com.
Can’t wait to see who Dan brings in next!
