Lander Celebrates Halloween with Main Street Trick-or-Treating on October 30

The City of Lander, Lander Police Department (LPD), Lander Volunteer Fire Department (LVFD), and Fremont County Sheriff’s Office invite the community to celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30, from 3:30–5 PM. With many local schoolchildren enjoying Main Street trick-or-treating after school, the City encourages businesses and community organizations to join the fun on Friday afternoon.

Families are invited to wear their favorite costumes and stop by South 4th and Main Street, where representatives from all four agencies will be handing out candy and trinkets.

Businesses and Community Groups Invited to Participate

Main Street businesses are encouraged to hand out treats on Friday, October 30, from 3:30–5 PM. Businesses are also welcome to participate on Saturday, October 31, if they prefer.

Groups, organizations, and businesses without a Main Street storefront are invited to set up at Centennial Park, located at 2nd and Main Street. Word of Faith Family Church will also be participating at the park.

Halloween Safety Reminders

Lander Police Chief Kelly Waugh reminds drivers and families to use extra caution throughout the Halloween weekend.

“Halloween is an exciting time for families, but it also means more pedestrians and traffic,” said Waugh. “Please slow down, watch for children crossing streets, and avoid distractions while driving.”

Chris Johnson, City of Lander Airport and Fire Department Manager, encourages families to keep safety in mind.

“Make sure costumes are visible, carry a flashlight or glow stick, and stay together while trick-or-treating,” said Johnson. “A little extra caution helps make Halloween safe and enjoyable for everyone.”

The City of Lander and its public safety partners thank local businesses and organizations for helping make Halloween a fun and safe community tradition.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is experiencing a statewide increase in reported human-black bear conflicts related to bears obtaining human-provided food in residential, rural, and remote areas.

Wildlife managers are responding to reports of bears accessing unsecured attractants such as garbage, bird feeders, livestock, backyard bees, feed and supplements. Bears have also attempted to enter homes, cabins and campers through open or unlocked doors and windows in search of food. Bear activity is likely to remain high this fall.

Game and Fish is asking conservation partners to help share bear safety messages and actions that can help keep bears and people safe before hibernation.

Expect Bears in Unexpected Places: Hunters, anglers, hikers and others should follow bear safety protocols, carry bear spray or other protection and remain vigilant anywhere in Wyoming. Properly store attractants, even in areas that have not previously experienced bear activity.

Call to Action: People living in or near bear habitat should secure attractants, including trash, pet food, birdseed and livestock feed, and encourage neighbors to do the same. Storing garbage in a garage or shed and waiting until the morning of pickup can substantially reduce conflicts.

Prompt Reporting: Report conflicts or sightings in residential areas to Game and Fish immediately. Early reporting helps prevent bears from becoming habituated to human attractants and gives managers more non-lethal intervention options.

Conflicts May Increase: Conflicts often increase in fall as bears enter hyperphagia—a period of increased activity and food consumption before hibernation—and move to lower elevations. Some bears’ natural wariness of humans may be overridden by their need for calories before denning.

Buena Vista Construction Update: Paving Rescheduled for October 23 and 26 Due to Equipment Issues

The City of Lander is providing an update on the Buena Vista Water and Roadway Surface Improvements Project. Due to equipment issues, paving originally scheduled for October 22–23 has been rescheduled for Friday, October 23, and Monday, October 26.

Paving and Road Closures October 23 and 26

Buena Vista Drive will be completely closed to vehicle traffic from Main Street/Highway 789 through Cedar Street on Friday, October 23, and Monday, October 26.

The road is expected to reopen Saturday morning, October 24, and remain open through Sunday, October 25, before closing again Monday morning, October 26.

Residents and businesses along this section should plan for no vehicle access during paving operations on Friday and Monday. The schedule remains weather-dependent.

Bulk Fill Station/Rural Water House Closed October 23 and 26

The Bulk Fill Station/Rural Water House will be closed Friday, October 23, and Monday, October 26. Water filling and sewer dump services will not be available on these dates. Bulk water haulers have been notified. The bulk fill station/Rural Water House will be open on October 24 and October 25.

Traffic Detour and Pedestrian Access

The existing detour via South 2nd Street and Capitol Avenue will remain in place. Motorists traveling to the Lander Medical Clinic, hospital, and other area facilities should follow the posted detour.

Those accessing buildings within the paving area, including the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, should park outside the construction zone and walk to their destination. Pedestrian access will remain available.

The WYDOT fuel station will not be accessible on October 23 or 26. It will be accessible October 24-25.

Please follow posted detours and flaggers, allow extra travel time, and use caution.

The City appreciates the community's patience as crews work to complete improvements before winter.
