LaBarge’s Fritz to be inducted into the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame

Ray C. Fritz of LaBarge is this year’s inductee from Lincoln County for the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame (WCHF). Fritz is one of 25 members of the WCHF Class of 2023. The WCHF State Board of Directors voted on the nominees from across the state during its annual meeting. The 10th annual induction ceremony will be held in Casper this fall. Candy Moulton, executive director for the organization, said, “The group formed in 2014 by Wyoming residents that decided the Cowboy State needed a cowboy hall of fame.” The nonprofit organization aims to recognize men and women who represent the cowboy culture and legacy. “We want to celebrate, perpetuate, recognize and preserve the cowboy lifestyle,” Moulton said. Nomination requirements set the cowboy bar high. “The main way someone gets into the Cowboy Hall of Fame is to have worked as a cowboy,” Moulton said. “They must have been on a horse, chasing livestock for at least 45 years.”

Sorry, CBS, bison calf isn’t 1-in-10-million

EVANSTON — On May 16, Bear River State Park’s Wyoming Hope welcomed an unusual white bison calf. The following day, some misleading information in a Cowboy State Daily article apparently incited an international wave of misinformation. Cowboy State Daily writer John Thompson clarified in the article that the park’s new arrival is not a 1-in-10-million albino, but rather the product of Charolais cattle DNA, which is only somewhat rare in bison populations. However, a photograph above the Cowboy State Daily article was captioned, “A white bison named Wyoming Hope gave birth Tuesday to a 1-in-10-million white bison calf at Bear Lake State Park,” misidentifying both the animal’s rarity and location.
