May 24.- National Brothers Day

Happy National Brothers Day! Observed every year on May 24, this day honors any and all of the brothers in our lives.  

  

Whether we have one or many, our brothers hold a special place in our hearts. Even if for those who don’t have brothers, someone in their life is usually like a brother to them.  

  

Brothers from other mothers are found in a best friend, a brother-in-law, or a cousin. They are the men in our lives we count on even when we don’t talk very often.  

  

We share memories, challenges that frequently began with the phrase, “Watch this!” soon followed by a few stitches. 

  

While minding their own business, they are also prepared to step in when necessary. That’s what brothers do. 

Of course, they’ve been known to put toads on your head or gum in your hair.  They may have been too cool for you once as well. 

Brothers come in many shapes and sizes and so do their relationships. Whatever yours is, take the time to celebrate your brother on National Brothers Day. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Enjoy time with brothers and reminisce.  Find time for new brother siblings to spend some fun, enjoyable time together.

May 24 - National Wyoming Day

Happy National Wyoming Day! Today we observe the 44th state to join the union back on July 10, 1890. 

Also known as Big Wyoming, the state's territory led the nation and the world in granting women the right to vote.  

In 1869, the Wyoming territorial legislature passed a bill allowing women the right and the governor signed the bill on December 10, 1869.  

Twenty years later, Wyoming would approve the first state constitution including women’s suffrage. They would be granted statehood in 1870. 

In a vast open country where homesteaders had to rely on one another, man or woman, equality had real meaning, true grit. 

It’s also a country where massive towers seem to rise out of nowhere mysteriously. Devil’s Tower stands starkly against brilliant blue skies or disappears into the fog. Depending on the day or its mood it can do either, or both.  

Explore the Native American legends surrounding the creation of the monolith, hike its trails, and wonder at its existence. 

From Fossil Butte National Monument to Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Wyoming retells history. The state thrills and challenges visitors with its spectacular views in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. 

Also nicknamed The Cowboy State, rodeos provide opportunities to flex skills in the arena and amaze audiences in the stands. Whether they compete indoors or out, boots, jeans, and hats are recommended.
