Good morning, Sheridan.

The Eaton’s Guest Ranch horses arrived at Leiter on Friday, May 23 for the first leg of their three-day drive from Eaton’s Bar 11 Ranch near Echeta to the home ranch near Wolf with a night at the Leiter cabins.

They left Leiter at 7 a.m. and will pass through Sheridan up Fifth Street today—continuing their annual Memorial Day tradition.

Kim Love—founder of Sheridan Media and a dedicated local philanthropist—died Saturday, May 24 at Sheridan Memorial Hospital.

Facilities Director John Zink updated the Johnson County School Board on school building projects this summer at Buffalo High School and on the Kaycee HVAC upgrade — boilers are set for delivery at the end of June with work scheduled for July while bidding for the HVAC project will start in January.

Governor Mark Gordon responded Friday to Secretary of State Chuck Gray’s social media claims by defending his vote to approve leases for eastern wind projects on state lands—he said the move was meant to boost revenue for Wyoming schools while Gray criticized the plan as costly and misleading.
