Oh it's Friday,
Dalt didn't realize it was Friday until about 15 minutes ago. As if today couldn't get any better, we have a lovely edition of the Breeze for ya.
In today's newsletter, get the details on Yellowstone's winter plans as well as their restoration to the Trumpeter Swan population in the park. Some local firefighters rescued two pups as well this week which is a nice highlight. Kelly's feature article is EAT! at Occasions by Cory (which looks like a great addition to your evening). Don't forget to check out the Food Truck Round-Up for this weekend that Kelly whipped together!
The weather today has a high of 65°F with scattered clouds and a breeze of about 29 mph that we are sure you've felt already.

Business Highlight: EAT! at Occasions by Cory

Happy Friday, y'all! Kelly here.
Tonight is the night!
Local musician Zack Schommer will be performing LIVE at EAT! at Occasions by Cory. If you haven't seen Zack perform or checked out this new eatery in Casper tonight is the best night to do both.
So what is this place? You may have heard of Occasions by Cory but the EAT! aspect might be completely new to you. Read on to get the scoop!

So what is it?
Occasions by Cory is a top-notch catering and special events company located in Casper. They offer catering for a variety of different events including weddings, business holiday parties, graduation parties, and fundraisers.
In June, they opened their eatery which offers the same high quality food and service as their catering. Along with delicious food, they frequently host different musicians and comedians.

What kind of food do they have?
They have a list of different smalls plates that you can share with friends which includes garlic shrimp, charcuterie (the trendy thing currently), or cheesy bread bites.
You can also try one of their featured items (Mediterranean Plate anyone?) or one of my personal favorite items: their flatbread pizzas!
Oh, they also have pumpkin cake right now so you'd better get that for dessert ASAP.
Check out their full menu here.

They also have a lot of drinks to choose from!
For those 21+, you can find a huge drink menu including bottled and draft beers, wines, and various cocktails. My current favorite drink is the 307 Vodka "Casper Mule".
If you haven't yet, make sure to check them out tonight when Zack Schommer is playing. The live performance starts at 7:00 p.m. and goes until 10:30 p.m. You can find EAT! at Occasions by Cory at 303 S. Wolcott in Downtown Casper.
See you guys there!
