Greek Festival will feature new items, and all of the old favorites

By Karen Cotton For The Cheyenne Post

For the 34th year, the Cheyenne Greek Festival will bring delicious Greek food, spirited dancing and rich culture to the people of Cheyenne. The event will take place this year Sept.

13-14 at Frontier Park’s Exhibition Hall.

What started as a small bazaar held in the basement of Sts.

Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church has grown to the anticipated annual event that the community knows and loves today, said Taylor Olson, marketing director for the festival.

“Highlights include incredible food, entertainment, and atmosphere,” Olson said. “We are introducing a few new items like frappé (an iced coffee drink), as well as chocolate koulourakia cookies, alongside all of the other favorite foods and desserts our community knows and loves.”

The menu is available online, as is a schedule of events. “Food prices range from $3 to $7 per serving, and desserts range from $1 to $4 per serving,” she said.

“You can also purchase packaged pastries for different price ranges.”

Olson said the festival will

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Author Craig Johnson: talks about new book, local event Johnson to appear at book signing Sept 17

By Karen Cotton For The Cheyenne Post

Catch up with local author Craig Johnson, the New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire series, in Cheyenne on September 17, release day for his new book, “The Land of Wolves.”

Kasey Storey, communications coordinator for the Laramie County Library said the library is thrilled to welcome Johnson back.

“We are always excited when we have the chance to host New York Times best-selling authors and the library is honored to play a role in helping Johnson stay in touch with his local Wyoming community,” she said.

Barnes & Noble will have copies of “The Land of Wolves” and his other novels for sale at the signing.

In anticipation of the book signing, we had a Q&A with Johnson: Q: What is “The Land of Wolves” about?

A: Attempting to recover from his harrowing experiences in Mexico, Sheriff Walt Longmire is neck-deep in the investigation of what could or could not be the suicidal hanging of a shepherd. With unsettling con-

nections to a Basque family with a reputation for removing the legs of Absaroka County sheriffs, matters become even more complicated with the appearance of an oversize wolf in the Bighorn Mountains, to which Walt finds himself feeling more and more empathetic.

Q: Is it getting easier to write novels because you have so many under your belt?

A: I don’t know if the writing is getting easier because I have a body of work … but the business of writing gets easier after writing fifteen novels with the same characters and places. It’s not like you’re reinventing the wheel, but you need to evolve and develop or the books get stale.

I think after more than a decade of writing I’m starting to think I’ve at least got a basic idea of what it is I’m doing.

Q: What do you like the most about book signings?

A: Meeting readers and discussing the characters in detail. The TV viewers are a joy, but they’re not quite as knowledgeable as the readers on the details of the character’s lives.

Q: What do you like about Longmire Days?

Author Craig Johnson. Courtesy Photo.

A: That it happens at all… I mean a festival of books and a TV show in a town of four thousand in northern Wyoming that draws fifteen thousand people a year? Kind of crazy, but it does a lot of good for the community and for the charities involved.

Q: How do you feel about your Centennial event?

A: Well, I’ve done pretty much all the libraries in Wyoming, but Centennial will always be special in that it was one of the first to take me up on my six-pack honoraria. I mean, I live in a town of 25 so I need to support the small places.

Q: What are you looking forward to about coming to Cheyenne in September?

A: Oh, the events at the Cheyenne Library are generally standingroom only, and the fact that I’m there on the publication date makes it even that much more special.

Q: What are you working on now?

A: “Next To Last Stand,” the next Walt Longmire novel, along with a different idea for a TV series and a feature film.

Q: Do you still keep in touch with the Longmire Netflix series actors?

A: Well, we just did Longmire Days [in Buffalo, Wyoming] and they were all here. …

Interview

admire?

A: John Steinbeck, Larry Brown, Willy Vlautin, Mark Spragg, Hemingway… I’m keynoting the International Hemingway Association next year and looking forward to a in-depth analysis of his short story, “The Wine of Wyoming.”

Q: Can people read your Longmire books as standalones, or should they read them in order?

A: Either way, but I always say that if you think you’re going to enjoy the books start with the first, “The Cold Dish.” That way it’ll take you a while to catch up with me.

Q: What question do you get asked most by your fans?

A: “Why doesn’t Walt carry a cell phone?” Obviously they don’t live in Wyoming.

From Page 4

Also, I’m doing an event on the tour of Land of Wolves in Santa Monica [California], and they’ll be joining me for that. It’s a pretty amazing extended family that’s not quite ready to give up on these characters or this place.

Q: What are you reading for pleasure right now?

A: Mostly research books on Custer and the Little Bighorn for the next Walt book, and boy there are some really bad ones...

Mason Kitty gets rescued, new lease on first of nine lives For The Cheyenne Post

With a few meals, a warm towel and a couple good nights of sleep, a stray cat named Mason has a new lease on his first of nine lives.

A concerned citizen trapped the tiny kitten, found without his mother, and brought him to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter.

Officer Liam Young estimated the skinny kitty to be three and a half weeks old, and immediately prepared a kitten plate — a plate warmed in a microwave oven and topped with a towel.

Once placed on the towel, the kitten purred and wrapped itself in the towel.

Young said the kitten has already made himself at home and showed a little bit of personality.

"I couldn't believe just how friendly this little guy was. His name is ‘Mason.’” Young said, "He is a stray, feral cat with no mother, and he has more character than some humans. He's plump with food and making a full recovery."

Mason is enjoying life at a CAS foster home until he is old enough to neuter. Officer Young will give us updates about Mason in the next few weeks.

Next week’s Celebration activities include an expanded Cheyenne Artwalk on Thursday, September 12 from 4-9 pm, the Friday, September 13 reception at the new Airport Terminal, and a partnership with the Laramie County Library for its Local Author Day event on Saturday, September 14 from 10 am - 4 pm.
