Money for bones

Medicine Bow Museum Director Sharon Biamon was on hand to sort out donated items for sell in a Saturday silent auction to raise funds to move and preserve the Como Bluff fossil Cabin (See Dinosaurs on the Move on page 1 of the July 4 Saratoga Sun).

Two of the four owners of the Old West Bar, Joe Hall and Kristi Wickizer, were there early to help with the afternoon's activities and get ready to throw some darts.

Events planned for the afternoon included a 50/50 Raffle an Indian Taco bar, the silent auction, horseshoes, volleyball, a dart tournament and live music at 7 p.m. from area performer Bryan Helm.

In describing why both he and his bar were involved in raising funds for the dinosaur house Hall said, "In a town of 200, it is our responsibility to raise funds for projects like this."

Biamon said Monday that the events had raised $2,500 for the cause and the director wanted to thank everyone who donated or participated in the event.

Biamon also went on to relate that the preliminary moving date for the Como Bluff Fossil Cabin is set for September 15.
