Business Council

The Wyoming Business Council Agribusiness Division is hosting three opportunities for Wyoming producers and vendors to sell or show off their goods during the Wyoming State Fair in Douglas, Aug. 13-20.
In addition, Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead is anticipated to do the honors of cutting the ribbon on the new Wyoming Mercantile on the Midway of the Wyoming State Fairgrounds. The public is invited to join Gov. Mead for the ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 20 at about 1:30 p.m.
For over 12 years, Wyoming-made products have been sold at the State Fair. This year, 58 Wyoming companies will showcase their products in the new Mercantile which is located on the midway.
"The new building and new location are geared toward attracting more visitors to our store, and in turn will put more great Wyoming-made products in front of consumers," said Cindy Garretson-Weibel, Business Council Agribusiness Division director."
The Mercantile will be open Monday through Friday of the fair from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information about the new Wyoming Mercantile, contact Terri Barr at 307.777.2807 or terri.barr@wyo.gov.
