Good morn,
First and foremost, huge shoutout to mother nature for allowing us to actually experience fall this year. It's been a delight watching the leaves change as the weather gradually cools. This probably won't last long, so enjoy it while you can, peeps.
It's Monday, and we are here in typical Breeze fashion bringing you the Weekend Gust. Today's articles cover a Wild Horse Gather that kicked off Saturday, the whacky weather ahead, and a big-time moth expert. Kelly's feature article is on Fun Stuff Too (which is, in fact, fun stuff too).
The weather today will feature quite the breeze clocking in at around 30 mph with the occasional 50 mph variant. It will also be a little sunny at a high of 66°F.

Yeehaw! Wild Horse Gather kicks off on Saturday
The Bureau of Land Management in Wyoming started their 4-8 week operation by gathering 112 horse this last weekend.
Their goal is to remove approximately 2,400 wild horses from the Red Desert complex.

Don't say the "W" Word
The weather experts believe that Wyoming will be having one of its w*ndiest weeks on record.
We're sure it'll just be a breeze.

Hello there! It's Kelly with the latest and greatest local highlight.

Yes! In fact, they have one tomorrow going from 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. As I mentioned earlier, they offer customized items including home decor.
