The upcoming program, titled “Stroll Among the Bronzes,” will take place at the Wyoming State Capitol Tuesday, June 17, at 10 a.m. Participants are asked to meet at the base of the Capitol’s front steps.

This downtown walk will be led by Harvey Deselms, a Cheyenne gallerist and lifelong advocate for public art. Deselms, who originally conceived the Capitol Avenue Bronze Project, will guide participants through the collection of bronze sculptures that line the Capitol corridor. The artworks pay tribute to the rich history and pioneering spirit of Wyoming and its people.

Wyoming Walks events are free and open to the public. Registration is not required, though attendees are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early.

Participants are also encouraged to bring water and wear sunscreen and comfortable shoes. In the event of bad weather or other changes, updates will be posted on the Laramie County Extension Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LaramieCountyExtension).

An additional opportunity is “Wyoming Walks: Walk with Nature.” This walk will take place at 12:30 p.m. Monday, June 23, at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, Lions Park. Participants will meet at the entrance to the conservatory.
