The Friends of the Little Snake River Valley Library is holding a raffle to keep the Baggs branch open.

The Friends of the Little Snake River Valley Library is collaborating with the Three Forks Ranch to raffle off a stay at the luxury resort. Baggs librarian Becka Evans said the winner will have access to all events and activities offered at Three Forks.

Baggs librarian Evans said Carbon County Library Board Chairwoman Addie Myers and Library System Interim Director Jenita Calton approached Three Forks Ranch about the fundraising opportunity, and the resort owners agreed to donate the stay.

Last year’s statewide property tax cuts reduced how much financial support the county can provide to outside agencies, including museums, senior centers, and libraries. The Carbon County Library System saw its county contribution reduced by 53 percent. After learning about the cuts, Evans said the Friends of the Little Snake River Valley Library was asked to take on the operating costs of the Baggs branch. Evans said the raffle, along with an earlier dinner fundraiser at Three Forks Ranch, is the group’s solution to raising that money.

Evans wasn’t able to provide the exact amount needed to keep the Baggs branch open, but the Three Forks getaway is valued at $10,500. Evans said that as of Wednesday morning, the library had raised roughly $4,000 in ticket sales.

Three Forks getaway tickets are $50 each or three for $100 and can be purchased from the Baggs Library or any Friends of the Little Snake River Valley Library member. The drawing is scheduled to take place on July 4th at the Little Snake River Valley Museum in Dixon. Evans said tickets will be available at the museum until the 3 p.m. deadline.

Evans said between 15 and 20 local children use the Baggs library after school each day. She stressed the importance of libraries, saying they are among the few places still offering free activities and services for the community.

Tickets for the Three Forks Ranch getaway raffle can be purchased from the Baggs Library, members of the Friends of the Little Snake River Valley Library, at the Little Snake River Valley Museum, and by scanning the QR code on the fundraiser’s flyer. Online ticket sales will end on July 2nd, two days before the July 4th drawing.

For more information, call the Baggs Library at 383-7323.

The Carbon County Library System will soon begin selling stickers as part of a countywide fundraiser. Money from each sale will go to the branch where the sticker was purchased. The stickers were donated by the Carbon County Library Foundation. Bigfoot99 and Bandit102 will have more information about the fundraiser at a later date.

Saratoga officials opened the town’s streets to off-road vehicles.

Last September, Saratoga Police Chief John Moore announced that he had received complaints from residents about side-by-sides and other off-road vehicles operating within town limits. At the time, Chief Moore explained that Saratoga follows Wyoming Statute 31-2-232, which requires all off-road recreational vehicles, ORVs, used on public streets to be registered with the Wyoming Department of Transportation and display a Multipurpose Vehicle license plate.

The Saratoga Police Department hadn’t been citing ORV users, but Chief Moore acknowledged that the vehicles were technically illegal to drive in town.

The police chief suggested designating Saratoga’s streets as ORV trails, which would allow off‑road vehicles to operate in town by simply displaying a valid sticker issued by the Division of State Parks, Historic Sites, and Trails instead of requiring a WYDOT MPV license plate.

The Saratoga Town Council agreed with Chief Moore’s recommendation and instructed him to draft an ordinance designating the town’s roads as ORV trails. On April 15th, Ordinance 891, which allows off‑road vehicles to operate within town limits, was read for the first time. Like all changes to municipal statutes, the ordinance must be read three times at three separate public meetings.

Ordinance 891 was read for a second time during the May 6th Saratoga Town Council meeting. The final reading occurred on May 20th, where Town Clerk Jennifer Anderson read the ordinance by title.

Mayor Chuck Davis asked Chief Moore to provide a brief summary of the changes in Ordinance 891. The police chief explained that the regulations open the town’s streets to off-road vehicles with a valid State Parks and Trails sticker.

Councilman Jerry Fluty asked what equipment is required to operate an ORV in Saratoga. Chief Moore said the machine must have functional headlights, taillights, brake lights, and a muffler. It must also have a horn and a rear‑facing mirror. The chief added that turn indicators are not required because hand signals are legally acceptable for those who know how to use them.

Chief Moore said Ordinance 891 designates all town‑owned streets and alleyways as ORV trails except for Highway 130, which is owned and maintained by WYDOT. ORV drivers may cross the highway but are not permitted to travel along it. The statute also sets the hours when stickered off‑road vehicles may not operate.

Vehicles with a valid WYDOT MPV license plate are exempt from the regulations and may drive on Highway 130 and operate during the designated quiet hours.

Satisfied with the changes, the Saratoga Town Council unanimously passed Ordinance 891 on its third and final reading, designating all town-maintained roads as ORV trails. Copies of the new regulations are available at the Saratoga Town Hall.

Rawlins City Council authorized the purchase of seven new municipal vehicles in next fiscal year’s budget.

On May 11th, the Rawlins City Council held a workshop to discuss the upcoming 2026 through 2027 budget. During the talks, Finance Director Laura Malone said the water department and the sewer department are requesting two new vehicles, each. Councilman Bruce Seilaff noted that new vehicle purchases were on hold until the city completes a full inventory of its existing fleet. Finance Director Malone acknowledged the purchasing freeze but said the trucks in question are outdated and need to be replaced with newer models.

Malone added that she will prioritize completing the vehicle inventory in the coming fiscal year.

Public Works Director Cody Dill reiterated that the trucks are old, making it difficult to find replacement parts. Dill said the new vehicles will take the place of the aging trucks, allowing the water and sewer departments to maintain a steady fleet count.

In addition to the water and sewer departments (two separate departments), the Rawlins Fire Department requested one new vehicle and the police department asked for two, bringing the total to seven new vehicles in next fiscal year’s budget.

Councilman Terry Patterson asked if the city had obtained estimates for the new trucks. Public Works Director Cody Dill said each vehicle is expected to cost roughly $60,000.

As background, Rawlins municipal vehicles are currently painted red. Dill said purchasing white trucks will save the city approximately $5,000 per unit. The governing body requested that the new vehicles be clearly marked with the appropriate department, making it easier for residents to identify which city service the truck belongs to.

Four days after the workshop, on May 15th, Councilman Derek Elliott posted a video to the Rawlins Wyoming City Council Ward 1 Facebook page stating that he did not support the new vehicle purchases. Councilman Elliott said that for the quoted price of $60,000, the city could refurbish its existing fleet.

The proposed budget came up for its first vote during the May 19th Rawlins City Council meeting. At that time, Councilwoman Tonya Lewman asked for clarification on how many vehicles were included in next year’s budget request. Finance Director Laura Malone said four departments requested seven new units in total.

Councilwoman Lewman said she was concerned that buying all seven vehicles in one year would leave future governing bodies with a significant cost when the entire group comes up for replacement. She asked if the purchases could be spread across multiple years.

Finance Director Malone said the requested vehicles are part of a staggered replacement schedule. She said the city has 21 additional trucks that also need to be retired but are not included in the upcoming budget.

Malone added that she is preparing a more formal vehicle replacement policy that will be presented to the governing body in the next fiscal year.

Councilman Bruce Seilaff said the council’s existing policy prohibiting new vehicle purchases leaves him reluctant to support the budget requests.

Finance Director Malone said the governing body can remove funding for the vehicle purchases if they choose.

After the discussion, the Rawlins City Council voted to approve the budget as written, with Councilman Derek Elliott casting the only no vote. The budget must be approved at two additional public meetings before it can be adopted.

Candidate filing ends this Friday.

The deadline to file as a candidate in the 2026 elections is this Friday, May 29th. Speaking to Bigfoot99 and Bandit102 last week, County Clerk Lisa Smith explained that most elected positions in the county will be on this year’s ballot.

A list of registered candidates is available on the Carbon County Clerk’s Office website. As of May 22nd, Travis Moore and John Johnson remain the only declared candidates for county commissioner, and both are seeking reelection. Each of the remaining county offices, including the assessor, attorney, clerk, clerk of district court, coroner, sheriff, and treasurer, still have a single candidate, the incumbent.

Many municipal races lack any candidates. No one has filed to run for mayor or an open council seat in Baggs, Riverside, or Saratoga.

The Dixon mayoral race has no candidates and only Raymond Hauger has filed for town council.

Elk Mountain Mayor Morgan Irene is running again, with Park and Cemetery Board Chairman Brett Larson and sitting council member Craig Mustard seeking council positions.

In Encampment, Carbon County School District Two Recreation Board President Jim McKinney is running for mayor. No one has filed for any of the two open council seats.

Hanna mayor Charlie George is seeking reelection, as is current council member David Felix. Timothy Born is running for a seat on the Hanna town council as well.

Justin George is running again for mayor of Medicine Bow. As of this report, there are no town council candidates.

In Rawlins, council members Bruce Seilaff and Steve Sanger are seeking reelection. Christine Cruz‑Ford is running for the at‑large council seat, currently held by Mayor Jacquelin Wells. No Ward Two candidates have filed at this time.

Sinclair resident Eugene Goetz Jr. has filed for mayor, and Nancy Sanders is running for one of the two open council seats.

At the state level, House District 47 Representative Bob Davis is running for Senator Larry Hicks’s former seat. Baggs rancher Eamon O’Toole is seeking to fill Davis’s place as District 47 representative, and Pam Thayer has filed again to represent House District 15.

To file for county office, a candidate must submit their paperwork to the Carbon County Clerk’s Office with a $100 processing fee. For municipal races, candidates file at their respective town halls and pay $25.

Races without a registered candidate will be filled by write‑in nominees. Under state law, write‑in candidates must receive at least 25 votes and be registered with their associated political party on primary election day. For municipal offices, individuals only need three write-in votes to win. The winning write-in candidate must then formally accept their nomination by filing at the appropriate election office and paying the required fee.

This story will include a link to the county’s website, where filing forms for county, municipal, and special district races are available.

All candidate applications must be submitted to their respective offices before the end of day on Friday, May 29th.

The 2026 primary elections will be held on August 18th.

Montana lawmakers say Wyoming’s Elk Mountain corner‑crossing ruling does not make the practice legal in their state.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln estimates that 2.44 million acres of Wyoming public land are considered “corner‑locked” and cannot be reached without corner crossing.

In 2021, a group of four Missouri hunters used a ladder to corner cross from one parcel of federal land to another on Elk Mountain. The adjacent private landowner later sued them for trespassing, arguing they violated his airspace despite never stepping on his property. The Carbon County Sheriff’s Office initially declined to cite the hunters, but the county prosecutor ultimately filed criminal trespass charges.

A Carbon County jury ruled in favor of the hunters. Attorneys for the private landowner then brought the case before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. In March of 2025, the judges upheld the lower court’s decision, citing the 1885 Unlawful Inclosures Act, which prohibits private landowners from blocking access to federal public lands in checkerboard regions. Since that time, Wyoming law enforcement officers have been directed to follow the 10th Circuit Court’s finding that corner crossing is legal when done at the corners of two public parcels without touching the adjacent private land.

The Elk Mountain landowner’s attorneys petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the corner‑crossing dispute, but the justices refused to take the case.

Earlier this year, the Wyoming Legislature attempted to codify the 10th Circuit’s ruling into state law through House Bill 19. However, resistance from private landowner groups, including the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association, and disagreements over when and where corner crossing can occur effectively killed the bill.

Because of the 10th Circuit Court’s decision, Wyoming considers corner crossing between federal parcels legal when no other access is available and the crossing occurs without contacting adjacent private land.

That is not the case for our northern neighbor. During the May 13th meeting of the Montana Environmental Quality Council, Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras gave a corner crossing presentation to the council members. Lieutenant Governor Juras explained that the Montana Supreme Court places the highest value on a landowner’s right to exclude, ranking it above the rights to possess, use, or sell their property.

Lieutenant Governor Juras said the United States historically used a “Heaven to Hell” standard to define how far a landowner’s rights extended above and below the surface. The invention of the airplane forced the U.S. Supreme Court to clarify the upper limit of those property rights. Juras said the court held that a landowner’s control extends to a reasonable buffer above the trees and buildings on their property.

Lieutenant Governor Juras said states have the right to determine the buffer, adding that the Montana legislature recently created a law prohibiting drones from flying lower than 200 feet over private property.

Juras clarified that Montana falls under the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which, in the early 1900s, held that landowners do not violate the 1885 Unlawful Inclosures Act when their fences join at the corners of their properties.

Without overturning the 9th Circuit Court’s opinion, the lieutenant governor said Montana will continue to consider corner crossing as trespassing, even if the individual did not physically touch private property during the act.

Following the lieutenant governor’s presentation, Representative Joshua Seckinger asked if Montana leadership’s objective was to make corner crossing so restrictive that a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling becomes inevitable.

Lieutenant Governor Juras replied that the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department has no intention of changing existing laws regarding corner crossing.

In order to make corner crossing legal in Montana, Juras said the state would need to financially compensate landowners for the loss of control over the airspace above their properties.

Here in Carbon County, Sheriff Alex Bakken has stated that his department will follow the 10th Circuit Court’s ruling and asked both sportsmen and landowners to be respectful of one another.

Citing reluctance to give up a town‑owned street, Saratoga officials voted to offer alternate sites for a Boys and Girls Club recreation center.

The Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming has been exploring the possibility of expanding into Saratoga. However, bringing the youth service organization into the Platte Valley would require construction of a new 14,000‑square‑foot gymnasium and recreation center, as the Platte Valley Community Center does not meet the group’s security and layout needs.

Club representatives proposed building the facility near the Saratoga Public Library on West Elm Avenue and asked the governing body to sign a memorandum of understanding allowing them to conduct tests to determine if the site is suitable for their needs. Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming CEO Ashley Bright said the signed MOU would also allow his organization to begin fundraising for the project.

At the May 6th Saratoga Town Council meeting, Mayor Chuck Davis said Attorney Kylie Waldrip needed clarification on addresses and other administrative items before the governing body could sign the agreement. The mayor said he would send the revised document back to Boys and Girls Club CEO Bright to make the requested changes.

At the May 20th Saratoga Town Council meeting, Mayor Davis said Attorney Waldrip has recommended refraining from entering into the memorandum of understanding.

Mayor Davis said Boys and Girls Club representatives had been looking at land near the library. However, the town is still negotiating with Carbon County and School District Two to assume ownership of the library building and surrounding property. Until that deal is resolved, the mayor said the Club will need to identify another site for its recreation center.

Mayor Davis said Boys and Girls Club representatives chose a parcel of town‑owned land south of the library, but that choice would require the town to relinquish control of a portion of West Hickory Avenue.

Mayor Davis said the Boys and Girls Club has stated it will need approximately two acres of land for the recreation center. The mayor expressed concern over giving the entire street to the organization and suggested a different parcel for the facility.

Mayor Davis said he believed the Boys and Girls Club chose the site because it is relatively flat and close to Saratoga Middle High School. The mayor asked the council if they should recommend a different location farther to the west.

Councilman Mike Cooley agreed it would be the better choice. Public Works Director Emery Penner said hooking to the town’s water and sewer infrastructure would be easier at the alternate location.

R.G. Raymer Construction owner Randy Raymer said the agreement between the town, and the Boys and Girls Club appeared to be shifting, as the organization had initially proposed building the recreation center near the library. Mayor Davis said the group was never fully clear about where it intended to locate the facility.

When pressed for a specific location, Mayor Davis said Boys and Girls Club representatives selected the area behind the library, which would require taking ownership of a portion of West Hickory Avenue. In order to secure funding, the Club asked the town to commit to leasing the requested land. The mayor said the governing body has not pledged any specific parcel to the youth service organization but is open to discussions.

Mayor Davis reiterated that Town Attorney Kylie Waldrip had too many unresolved questions about the original memorandum of understanding to recommend signing the agreement. Councilman Jerry Fluty added that the town is permitted to withdraw from the MOU even after it has been adopted.

Last month, representatives from the Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming met with the Saratoga Town Council to discuss the project. During that meeting, the Club offered to build an additional 8,000 to 9,000‑square‑foot gymnasium for town and School District Two use.

Speaking to Randy Raymer, Mayor Davis said the town has not decided if it wants to take on the added financial responsibility of the second gym.

Councilman Bub Barkhurst said there was discussion about School District Two contributing to the operating costs of the second gym, though the district has not committed to doing so.

Mayor Davis asked the council for their opinion on the matter. The governing body agreed that they are not open to the idea of vacating a portion of Hickory Avenue and suggested a parcel farther west of the proposed site.

The council agreed that if the town and county reach an agreement on the library, that land could be offered to the Boys and Girls Club, since it was the group’s initial choice. Until then, the town will present the site to the west, which does not require vacating Hickory Avenue.

The governing body of Saratoga approved a date change for the Teense Willford Memorial dedication ceremony.

Loren “Teense” Willford, known as the “Voice of the Valley,” died on September 3rd, 2024, at the age of 85 after a year‑long battle with cancer. Teense was a fixture at public gatherings in Saratoga and the surrounding area and is regarded as a local legend by many in the Platte Valley.

In October 2024, the Happy Trails Committee was formed to honor Teense’s legacy. The committee selected a site at the corner of Highway 130 and West Bridge Avenue for a Teense Willford memorial bench and commissioned a bronze statue of the late statesman to be placed on it.

During the May 20th Saratoga Town Council meeting, Happy Trails Committee member Ellie Dana said the statue was originally planned to be unveiled during the town’s 4th of July parade. However, Dana said competing events scheduled for the same time led the committee to hold the dedication ceremony the day before and asked the governing body to approve the date change.

Rawlins native and former Wyoming Representative Eli Bebout is scheduled to speak during the event, along with officials from Cheyenne. The presenters will discuss Teense’s impact and the roles Bridge Street Bargains and the Platte Valley Legacy Foundation played in the memorial’s creation.

Dana invited the public to attend the 30‑minute event, which will end with a private reception honoring the project’s supporters.

Dana invited the Saratoga Town Council to the donor reception, saying the memorial would not have been possible without the town’s support. She added that the statue is scheduled to arrive near the end of June.

The Saratoga Town Council voted unanimously to change the date of the Teense Willford Memorial dedication ceremony. The unveiling is now set for 5:30 p.m. on Friday, July 3rd.

County officials announced the recipients of the 2026 Commissioner Scholarships.

Every year, the Board of Carbon County Commissioners selects three new students and one returning student to receive a $1,000 scholarship to the University of Wyoming or any Wyoming community college. The awards are available to graduating high school and non‑traditional students, including homeschoolers and adults returning to school, who live in Carbon County.

This year’s winners were made public during the May 19th County Commissioners meeting. Allison Bromley of Encampment was chosen to have her scholarship renewed. Commissioner John Espy announced the three first‑time scholarship recipients.

The three winners represent Baggs, Rawlins, and Saratoga, respectively, and were chosen based on their academic accomplishments and extracurricular activities.

In addition to the Commissioners Scholarship recipients, H-E-M High School student Corbin Williams received a 2026 Daniels Scholarship. The program is administered by the Daniels Fund, a regional philanthropic foundation that supports high‑achieving, values‑driven students in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

The Rawlins City Council approved increased municipal fees, including utility rates.

Earlier this month, the Rawlins City Council held a budget workshop with Finance Director Laura Malone. During the meeting, Malone suggested a three percent rate increase to all utility services, including water, sewer, and landfill, to keep pace with inflation.

At the May 19th Rawlins City Council meeting, the governing body was presented with a resolution to codify those prices. The council opened a public hearing on the proposed increases, but no one spoke on the matter.

Later in the meeting, the updated fee schedule was introduced for discussion. Finance Director Malone said the resolution establishes a 2.5 percent credit card fee and raises the price for select animal control services.

The fee for Rawlins Animal Control to impound a stray pet will increase from $15 to $25, while the charge to retrieve an animal from the shelter will go from $12 to $25.

Finance Director Malone said the resolution also incorporates the proposed utility rate increases and updates rec center and cemetery prices.

As mentioned, water, sewer, landfill, and recycling fees will go up by three percent. At the cemetery, the cost of maintenance, burial, and disinterment will increase. A funeral director or mortician must be present for any disinterment, and their fees are not included in the city’s pricing.

Membership rates at the Rawlins Family Recreation Center are also set to increase. A single one‑month pass will rise from $54 to $55, while an annual membership will go from $276 to $300.

Councilwoman Tonya Lewman said she isn’t in favor of raising the utility rates, but annual increases will help the city avoid larger hikes in the future.

Councilwoman Lewman said that without contributing more money to the water enterprise fund, which can only be used for water projects, the city will face additional infrastructure problems in the future. She added that the other rate increases were made to keep pace with inflation.

Councilman Derek Elliott said he could not support the rate increases, arguing they put an undue burden on fixed‑income residents.

The rate increases are expected to add $3.60 to the average Rawlins resident’s monthly utility bill.

Vice Mayor Darril Garner read the resolution to amend the municipal fee schedule, and the City Council approved the rate changes. Councilman Elliott was the only member to vote no. The new rates will go into effect on June 18th.

The county clerk outlined the steps to become a candidate for the state, county, and municipal positions up for election this year.

Here in Wyoming, candidate filing for the 2026 election opened on May 14th and closes on May 29th. County Clerk Lisa Smith explained that most elected positions in the county are on the ballot.

All state offices are also on the ballot this year, including the governor. Clerk Smith said that in Carbon County, the state positions held by Representatives Bob Davis and Pam Thayer are up for election, along with Senator Larry Hicks’s seat.

Carbon County municipalities will hold elections for mayor and at least two council members. Clerk Smith said a large share of elected offices are up this year, with additional races coming in November.

Clerk Smith said most county positions do not require prior experience, with the attorney and assessor as the exceptions. She said the attorney must hold a law license and the assessor must own property in the county.

Clerk Smith said to file for county office, a candidate must submit their paperwork to the county clerk’s office with a $100 processing fee. For municipal races, Smith said candidates file at their respective town halls and pay $25.

To run for a state seat, a candidate must file with the Secretary of State’s office.

The Carbon County Clerk’s Office posts a list of candidates online. As of this report, Travis Moore and John Johnson are the only declared candidates for county commissioner. Both are seeking reelection. The county assessor, attorney, clerk, clerk of district court, coroner, sheriff, and treasurer each have a single candidate – the incumbant.

At this time, the majority of candidates are current officeholders running again. Elk Mountain Mayor Morgan Irene is seeking reelection, as is Hanna Mayor Charlie George. No other municipality has a mayoral candidate as of this report.

Clerk Smith said the county also provides a list of all open positions and ballot measures appearing in November.

Clerk Smith urged anyone interested in running for elected office to file as a candidate. In addition, the county clerk said residents can register to vote at any time, not just during the upcoming elections.

All candidate applications must be submitted to their respective offices before the end of day on May 29th. A link to the county’s website, including candidate filing forms for county, municipal, and special district races, will be included in this story on Bigfoot99.com.
