📰 News we're reading

1. Things To Do First Weekend Of October In Wyoming 2026 (k2radio.com) — If you’re in Cody this weekend, you can head to Cody City Park on Saturday at 4 p.m. for the Courage For Jean: Cody Wild West Adventure, an outdoor exploration and adventure event. It’s one of several fall festivals, charity hikes, haunted houses, and food fundraisers happening across Wyoming’s first October weekend, perfect for a quick road trip or family outing.
   

2. Third grade Virtual Museum (falloncountytimes.com) — Local families might like knowing that a third-grade class recently explored the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody through a virtual field trip focused on Plains Indian life and buffalo. Students learned how Native Americans used every part of the animal, saw historic images and tipis, and wrapped up by creating buffalo art, showing how Cody’s museum can enrich classroom learning anywhere.
   

3. Walk-in area and hunter management area changes in the Basin (powelltribune.com) — Hunters around Cody need to double-check walk-in and Hunter Management Area rules before heading out this fall, as several Big Horn Basin properties have changed access, boundaries, and species availability. Key shifts include elk-license changes at Heart Mountain, acreage reductions at Pitchfork, loss of some Hot Springs and Park County walk-ins, and a new Hot Springs walk-in area, all under Wyoming’s Access Yes program.
   

4. High Plains Drifter (chroniclesmagazine.org) — A long Western road trip includes an overnight stop in Cody, highlighting the town’s modest growth, rodeo heritage, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West as a must-see attraction. The writer contrasts Cody’s relatively stable demographics with booming, more diverse places like Jackson and Gillette, while celebrating the region’s open spaces and Old West history.
