Wyoming is one of only twelve states that has one area code for it's entire population. That makes March 7, AKA 307 Day, the perfect day to celebrate all the things that make being a Wyoming local special. Here are just a few of the reasons why we love celebrating 307 Day in Casper, Wyoming!
Endless Opportunity to Recreate
One of our favorite things about living in the 5150' is the close proximity to such an incredible variety of outdoor recreation opportunities. Within ten minutes of downtown you can unplug on Casper Mountain while hiking, camping, enjoying winter sports at Hogadon Basin Ski Area, and more. Getting out on the North Platte River you'll find some of the best fishing in the world.
A Coffee Shop on Every Corner
The coffee lovers in Casper are really living in paradise with so many different local cafe's to choose from, each with their own unique culture, specialty drinks, and locally roasted blends. Find artistic inspiration and supplies at Scarlow's Art & Coffee! If you're stuck in a rut going to the same place for awhile, now is the time to try the Casper Sips 'n' Sweets Trail. Try new-to-you coffee and sweets right here in the 5150' and earn a one-of-a-kind Sips 'n' Sweets tumblr.
Art, Music, and Culture
The art community in Casper is one of the fastest growing groups in the 5150' and we are here for it! Glassblowing, metal sculptures, murals, photography, painting, pottery, and more have all made a vibrant and lasting mark on our city. We especially love how our local artists are sharing their talents by teaching workshops so that others can join that creative journey too. Live music, theater performances, and comedy are making a greater splash in Casper's art and culture scene. No matter what you're looking for, our events calendar always has plenty of options to choose from!
5150' Summer Bingo
One more reason to love living in the 5150' is all of our amazing small businesses. To celebrate 307 Day, we're launching 5150' Summer Downtown Bingo. You can pickup your bingo sheets at the Visit Casper Office, 139 W 2nd St #1b. Go for a bingo or a blackout (fill every square) and be entered to win one of two award baskets. You can participate as many times as you like all summer long but can only take one bingo sheet at a time. We'll draw for the award baskets right after Labor Day! This is a great opportunity to support our local, small businesses and enjoy our beautiful downtown!
