Pig wrestling took center ring at the 2012 Albany County Fair Thursday night. Teams of four in four different categories went head to head with each other and head to snout with some stubborn pigs all in the name of good fun.

Today, the nation is reeling after a gunman went on a shooting rampage during a midnight screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ in Aurora, Colorado.

Over the weekend 50 dogs took part in the seventh annual Loews’ Surf Dog competition. We’ve known dogs love to surf ever since the days of Spuds Mackenzie, but to see that many canines getting together to “hang ten” was quite a sight.

As we mentioned early last week, there was a solar eclipse set to take place last night (May 20th). If you missed it and didn’t get a good look, here are some pictures of what the eclipse looked like from Laramie. What you are seeing is a phenomena created when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun perfectly align, which usually happens a few times each year...

It’s a familiar scene — you graduate and to celebrate your folks reward you with a new set of wheels.

Special Olympics Wyoming is celebrating 40 years during the 2012 Summer Games in Laramie. At the Opening Ceremonies three athletes, John Patton, Donald Graham and Ron Fawcett, were honored for their participation in Special Olympics Wyoming since it began in 1972.

American car manufacturers haven’t had the most stellar service record. However, one company pulled off a wicked, tire-screeching “U-turn” with one of its signature vehicles.

It was quite the weekend of rites of passage in Laramie. Not only was the University of Wyoming holding spring commencement ceremonies, but it was also prom weekend for Laramie High School. The junior class chose the theme "Emerald City" for the event, held at the Hilton Garden Inn.

J Shogren had a CD release show at the Gryphon Theatre on Friday night that served as a fundraiser for the Albany County Theatre. Of course if you saw ACT's production of "Christmas Thieves," you may have recognized the Shanghai'd & Shipwrecked as the Flyggapojkerna Family Funtime Orkester.

Carrie Underwood was first, Blake Shelton and Lionel Richie were last and very few dips were found in between. It was three straight hours of back-to-back performances that barely left time for a bathroom break on Sunday night. The 2012 ACM Awards felt more like an all-star jam than an awards ceremony, not that anyone is complaining.

Haven’t you ever wondered what happened to that little kid from the classic ‘Hook’ movie or the jock from ’10 Things I Hate About You?’ (No, we’re not talking about the ABC Family series.) These stars from the ’80s and ’90s have all but faded from the spotlight since abominations like ‘Two Broke Girls’ and ‘I Hate My Teenage Daughter’ have graced the screens… until now.

Party animals love New Year’s Eve because they get to drink themselves silly, throw glitter everywhere and dress up like babies without being thought of as creepers (in most cases, anyway). Rather than welcoming in 2012 with pictures of sloppy drunks in diapers, however, let’s instead focus on actual babies. They’re much cuter and don’t scream “Party!” every few minutes.
