The 2013 Central Wyoming Fair & Rodeo Parade in downtown Casper marks a few occasions for Casperites.  Parade Day always marks the official kickoff of the Central Wyoming Fair & Rodeo, and it usually falls about mid summer, meaning that it is time to kick summer up a notch and enjoy the remaining time.  The 2013 parade was definitely one for the books, with tons of floats, vehicles, dancer

The Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo Parade will be July 9, 2013 at 10:00 am in downtown Casper.  Bring your chairs, sunscreen, and get there early to get a prime spot.
