Wyoming Day – Prior to Dec. 10, 1869, and the passage of Women’s suffrage (the right for women to vote); many lawmakers were not convinced that the bill should be passed.  In order to convince these lawmakers, legislator, William Bright, told his fellow legislators that granting women’s suffrage would bring good publicity for the territory with railroaders and other businesses with it.  Later, the Wyoming Federation of Women’s Clubs requested that Wyoming Day be celebrated in December to commemorate the passage of this bill.  Wyoming Day celebrates women’s suffrage, and honors our wonderful state and its statehood, which was granted on July 10^th, 1890.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance – Each year on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Survivors, veterans, and visitors from all over the world come together to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. A further 1,178 people were injured in the attack, which permanently sank two U.S. Navy battleships (the USS Arizona and the USS Utah) and destroyed 188 aircraft.
