Something To Do In Casper-Baseball, Fireworks, And The American Way [VIDEO]
With the celebration of our nation's 235th birthday coming up on Monday (if you count from the Declaration of Independence in 1776), us folks in Casper always assume that anywhere else is better to be. South Dakota, Colorado, Alcova...all great destinations, but they come with a great cost. Literally. The cost of summertime gas prices can take away from a good trip when you're putting all of your vacation fund into your tank. Why travel, when there are some great activities that are perfect for the whole family right here in our beautiful little city? With the 4th Of July falling on a Monday this year, most of us have to be at work Tuesday morning bright and early, so we want somewhere local and safe to celebrate the big day, and close enough where we can be in bed at a reasonable hour. Below are two options for a fantastic 4th, but before you read on, check out this killer post from our very Jon Michaels, who tells you where the Best Places to See the Fireworks in Casper are
