AG & Tourism Day
Leadership Carbon County, Class of 2026 had an extremely full day.....we did the Carbon County loop. Starting at 8 AM we rode to the Little Snake River Museum, where the class had an opportunity to learn about the history there in the valley and we had the Speaker Michelle Duncan who talked about agriculture, Cindy Loose drove over from Saratoga and she spoke about the WY Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR), Christy Bentulan spoke off road Jeeping.....we had a fabulous lunch feast prepared and hosted by Duncan Livestock. We went over the scenic Battle Highway, making our way to Saratoga Hobo Pool, receiving a wonderful history of the hot springs by Justin Horn, headed to Rawlins to one of Carbon County's most visited places the old Wyoming Frontier Prison, tour led by Tina Hill, making our last stop at CCHED where Megan McComas, Discover Carbon County waited patiently as we got behind schedule to talk about tourism in CC!
With a short break we gathered back together for their dinner and graduation. Dr Travis Moore, was our inspirational guest speaker giving us all encouragement and something to think about.
It was a very long day.....thank you for sticking it out!
