Residents can meet senator during River Festival dinner

Ever want to meet a U.S. Senator?

While residents of many more populous states don’t have the opportunity, Wyoming’s low population allows residents to see and meet their Washington D.C. representatives more commonly than residents of other states.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., is scheduled to appear during the Cajun Shrimp Boil at Expedition Island Friday evening.

Barrasso attends the event yearly, spending time to talk to people at the island, as well as to partake in the yearly shrimp feast.
