Lander Area Chamber of Commerce 2014 Travel and Relocation Guide

Celebrate the 4th of July in Lander Steeped in history with modern fun for all! By Michelle Escudero Lander and July 4th go together like apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Lander is the place to be for an Independence Day celebration like none other in Wyoming. The day starts off with the Challenge for Charities Half Marathon and 5K run and walk and youth 1-mile sprint. (See www.landercommunityfoundation.org for more information.) This community wide fundraiser supports local nonproﬁts and is the perfect way to start your July fourth. The half marathon scenic route includes the rolling hills surrounding Lander. The 5K route is through town. The festivities begin at Centennial Park on Main Street and include a pancake breakfast, music, prizes and much, much more. Centennial Park is the perfect vantage point from which to watch the Pioneer Days Parade that includes mounted and decorated horses, 46 trick mountain bike troupes, musical groups, and fancy oldtimer automobiles. The parade is touted as the World’s Oldest Historical Pageant Parade. Be prepared to watch a widerange of colorful community groups roll by. Afte
