On October 30, 175 wilderness supporters turned up at the Lander Community Center to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Wyoming’s Wilderness Act. The revelers, many of whom came in costume, were entertained by music from Jalan Crossland, Bart Koehler and the Fireants.

Costumes included famous environmentalists and political figures, Wyoming wilderness areas, a clear cut, a bevy of wild animals, meadows, forests, and a host of other creative interpretations of Wyoming’s wild places and the issues that affect them.

But in the end simplicity won out. The winner of the Wilderness Hero costume contest was Tom Bell disguised as Tom Bell.

Thanks to all volunteers!
