    ILAW and Wyoming Outdoor Council host Halloween Masquerade, bringing awareness to programs in the community

    (Riverton, WY)  The Indigenous Lands Alliance of Wyoming (ILAW), in collaboration with the Wyoming Outdoor Council, hosted a night of fun at their Halloween Masquerade last Friday, October 14 at the Fairgrounds-Fremont Center.

    The event was open to the public and very well attended, with families and youth coming in costume for a night of trunk or treat, candy and treats, very competitive cakewalk and musical chairs contests, costume contests by age group, a “spooky” dance contest, face painting, drums and dancing, food and fun.

    Big Wind Carpenter of ILAW and the WOC, along with other supporting groups and organizations that were present at the masquerade, took the stage during an open mic and shared what each of their organizations does for the community and tribes, describing the programs they offer.
