The Christmas Bazaar allowed a large selection of small businesses around the area to showcase their products and let customers do some hometown Christmas shopping at the Niobrara County Fairgrounds and extra shopping at the Niobrara Country Club on Saturday with downtown shopping available before the parade.

A “Chili Night in Wyoming” saw the events’ first year in Lusk with a chili cook-off, downtown shopping, a parade on Main St. and wrapped up with a tree-lighting. A committee consisting of, from left, Teresa Tucker, Christa Stean, Hannah Swanbom, Twila Barnett and Cassie Matney organized the day’s events.
