Governor Gordon issues 6^th Directive

The Wyoming liquor division summarized this directive as follows:

The Governor has updated his last executive order for restaurant and bar & grill license holders. These license holders can now sell up to 2 bottles of wine (1,500 ml total) and up to 72 ounces of beer.  Any container that is less than 72 ounces and is sealed in some way is allowed.  Sealed means putting the container in a bag and sealing it with heat or staples, putting a strip or security tape across the cap or lid, shrink wrapping the cap or lid or having a breakable seal in a cap or lid (like a milk jug or twist off cap that leaves a ring on the container when broken).
Click here for the complete directive.

Our Kids worry too.  Please take the time to talk to your kids and help them get answers to their questions about COVID-19.  

    Please think about store employees, your family, friends, and neighbors when you are out doing your necessary shopping.
