Wyoming Territorial Prison

Some dance in the parking lot with their children. Some bring pizza or hot cocoa and turn it into a date night. But 10,000 lights do a lot to bring the community together, at an unexpected historic state site.

Laramie turned out to enjoy the 150th anniversary kickoff event on Friday.

The first of several events that will take place throughout the year celebrating the anniversary of Laramie City will be Friday.

Laramie is getting ready to celebrate its 150th anniversary this weekend, with the kickoff beginning this Friday, May 4 at the Wyoming Territorial Prison.

The celebration of Wyoming's 127th year of statehood will include free lunch and birthday cake.

The light show will run 5-11 pm every day through Dec. 31. Listeners can tune in to 99.5 FM to listen to music synchronized with the lights.

The annual event starts Friday, October 16.

Celebrate Valentine's Day and the Wyoming Territorial Prison February 12th and 13th!
