Wyoming is the setting in two feature films.

Park Country Travel Council — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:36:25 +0000

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?

Cody Wild West Shows huge success

Park Country Travel Council — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:57:25 +0000

The final Cody Wild West Show for 2009 was a performance by BJ Thomas. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t know his music, he had so many hits in both pop and country, and everybody knows “Raindrops keep fallin on my head”. It was an incredible show with song after song or should I say hit after hit that had the audience singing along. I’ll let you know when we have the 2010 shows lined up. I’m sure Dan Miller has some great acts coming to Cody!

Gary Morris to perform Cody Wild West Show

Park Country Travel Council — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:43:19 +0000

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.

Suzy Bogguss concert was great show

Park Country Travel Council — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:50:34 +0000

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!

TG Sheppard Cody Wild West Show #2

Park Country Travel Council — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:02:30 +0000

The second Cody Wild West Show will be TG Sheppard performing on Saturday, February 22 at 8:00 pm. TG Sheppard won “Best New Male Artist” in 1976 and had 10 consecutive number one songs. I wonder how many performers have had that! I had a phone call from someone who saw TG perform in Roundup, Montana several years ago and he said it was a phenominal concert. We are all very excited for the chance to see this amazing perfomer and if his show is a good as Lacy J. Dalton’s was we will all have a terrific evening!

Lacy’s still got it!!!

Park Country Travel Council — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 23:54:29 +0000

What a performance!! The Lacy J. Dalton concert this past Saturday night was amazing. The folks that braved the cold and snow were treated to a delightful performance by one of country musics most beloved artist. The completely sold-out theatre was the perfect location for an intimate show that made you feel as if you were sitting with Lacy in her home. Her stories about her life and loves touched everyone. She must have enjoyed performing as much as the audience enjoyed listening as her energy and enthusiam turned into a two hour plus performance and nobody left until she sang the last song! It’s hard to believe that her first hits were 30 years ago – she sang each song as if it were the first time. The new songs made us all want to rush out to buy her latest CD. Her voice is still strong and beautiful as ever.
I don’t ever recall seeing so many happy, smiling faces on such a cold, snowy, winter evening in January! Maybe it’s because she warmed our hearts.
We hope she will come back again…she’d sure be welcome anytime!

Lacy J. Dalton performs in Cody

Keeping with the tradition that Buffalo Bill began, the new Cody Wild West Show is sure to entertain!
Lacy J. Dalton will kick off this new concert series with a performance at the Cody Theatre on January 24. Tickets are $20.00 and available at the Cody Chamber office. Popular performer TG Sheppard will perform February 28 and March will feature the amazing Mel Tillis. The caliber of talent that the Cody Wild West Show has scheduled would typically be seen in Branson or other, larger cities. But this small, western town is sure to give a big Wyoming welcome to these wonderful performers and to all who come to hear their music.
