Thrifty for 20 years

The Rawlins Thrift Exploratory Group (RTEG) is celebrating 20 years of providing service to Rawlins and Carbon County this month. In the two decades it has been in operation, however, the mission of RTEG (also known as the Rawlins Thrift Store) has changed.

Showcasing industry

To celebrate Industry Day in Carbon County, Yvonne Johnson, Director of the Carbon County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) held a day of touring local energy companies operations and a lunch where guest speakers spoke to those enrolled in the current class of Leadership Carbon County..
The start of the celebration began with a tour and presentation at the Holly Frontier (HF) Sinclair Refining Company.

Bringing change to the resort

The Saratoga Hot Springs Resort (Saratoga Resort) has had several reincarnations since a log building was erected on the present site of the resort in 1877.

Good food in the Good Times Valley

The North Platte Valley has often been known as the "Good Times Valley". From ice fishing derbies and snow golf tournaments in the winter to microbrew festivals and street dances in the summer, there's no shortage of fun events.
Along with those good times is also good food. 

'An amazing honor'

"The 2022 Small Business Person of the year for Wyoming is such a prestigious award and it looks at a business that has grown in its revenue, its employees and has that resilience and staying power for a small business as well as its contributions to its community," Amy Lea, Small Business Administration (SBA) District Director for Wyoming said. "Lena Dirck here at the Aspen House has done all that in spades."

The forest for the trees

The Saratoga Forest Management lumber company had 30 Danish students from the University of Copenhagen vist the mill on April 26 to observe operations.
Owner Gary Ervin was happy to host this group of interested forestry students.

Surveying community health

Providing healthcare for Carbon County is no easy task. With 10 municipalities and a county nearly 8,000 square miles in size, it can be difficult to try and meet the needs of every resident.
That doesn't mean, however, Memorial Hospital of Carbon County (MHCC) isn't trying.
On April 1, formally released their Community Health Needs Assessment.
