4^th of July Rodeo & Parade – Ten Sleep has hosted the 4^th of July Rodeo & Parade for over 50 years.  Normally a sleepy little town at the foot of the Big Horns and the only other town in Washakie County, Ten Sleep turns into a rompin’, stompin’ good time for the whole family.  Top competitors from all over the country and the world come to try their luck.  An excellent vacation idea but be sure to plan in advance, accommodations fill up fast.  For more information contact the Town of Ten Sleep at 307-366-2265 or the Worland Chamber of Commerce  at 307-347-3226.

Gift of the Waters Pageant – A short thirty-minute drive to Thermopolis is well worth the effort to experience this celebration in person.  Held the first week of August annually, it commemorates the deeding of the world’s largest mineral hot spring from the Shoshone and the Arapahoe to the people of Wyoming in 1896.  Native Americans dressed in their tribal regalia perform traditional dances.  Other highlights include a parade and the Gift of the Waters Craft Fair.  For more information contact the Hot Springs State Park.
