NEW YEARS DINNER
Miss Mary Bohn, the genial and affable proprietress of the Bohn Hotel will give a grand New Years dinner on New Year’s Day, the menu of which will be found below.

Encampment and Saratoga put their JV squads on the floor Thursday, and both the men and women had a chance to hone skills that will be featured on varsity teams in the coming years.

The Saratoga Lady Panthers took on a six-member Tiger (1-7), (0-2) team in Encampment Thursday night. With freshman Shawneka Sifford out, the Lady Tigers were left with only one sub on the bench against Saratoga (3-4), (0-2).
On the other side of the court, Saratoga was almost back to full strength after suffering from illness and injury, including coach Matt Love, who was battling the flu himself two weeks ago on the road.

In what turned out to be an exciting night of round ball on the hardwood, the Encampment Tigers (7-1), (2-0) hosted Valley rivals Saratoga (2-5), (0-2) on Thursday.
Assistant coach for the Encampment Tigers Kevin Pantle said, “You always look forward to these close mach-up games. You’re always a little bit excited, always nervous about the game.”

Con artists are scamming Wyoming grandparents out of thousands of dollars by posing as grandchildren in distress. The Wyoming Attorney General’s Office has recently seen a rise in the number of this type of scam and suspects the number will increase even more over the holiday season.

Sam Platts has been living his dream of being a professional musician since he left Saratoga over three years ago.
In 2009, Platts moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to be closer to his parents.
Since that time he has performed in several bands including the band he is traveling with this winter.
