Ashley Oakley is the host of the Cody Wyoming podcast, catching up with Wendy from the Dollar Tree on the weekly Catching Up with Cody!

Wendy informs Ashley that the park is opening Friday morning, and people are already lining up to try to see the baby grizzly bears. Wendy also mentions that Raspberry and Jam will be easy to spot.

This conversation serves as a reminder that Cody Wyoming is a great place to live in the west, and an exciting place to visit. It offers a variety of attractions, such as the park, and bears to view. Additionally, the Dollar Tree is offering a pancake breakfast may 5&6.

This conversation is about the bears of Cody, Wyoming. The speaker has lived there for over 50 years, and knows of at least six bears in the area. These include Raspberry, Jam and Snow on the east side, and two bores towards the north central. 399, who has been followed closely on social media, has recently emerged from her den. There is a warning to not camp at Three Mile Campground, as it is where bad bears are often dropped off.

The speaker then talks about the gunfight that takes place in Cody every year, where the street is shut down and people are shot on purpose. The Cody Gunfight is a popular melodrama entertainment that happens in Cody, Wyoming every night from June to October. It is a great way to contribute to local charities as those who buy chairs to sit in for the show have their money go to a local charity chosen by the play actors. Those who don't buy chairs can still watch the show for free. The play actors do not actually shoot anyone and the whole event is a fake gunfight. Additionally, the play actors occasionally ask those who are standing around to join the play.

There is also a firearms experience in Cody, Wyoming, where one can shoot historical firearms such as a Gatling gun. There is also axe throwing for those who want to take out their frustrations. Seating for the Cody Gunfight starts at 5:30 PM and the show starts at 6:30 PM. This conversation takes place between two people discussing the best things to do in Cody, Wyoming.

Wendy suggests that any trip to Cody should include a visit to the museum, which is the second largest in the United States. They also suggest attending the rodeo, which starts on June 1, and the Cody Cattle Company, which offers a dinner show with western music spanning multiple genres. They also suggest joining in on the Calf Scramble, which is free for children twelve and under, and watching the 4th of July parade, which last year was led by Rip from Yellowstone TV!
