Life Skills stopped by the Jackalope Jump display at the White Mountain Mall.

ROCK SPRINGS – In today’s society the fun and true meaning of competition is often lost in the pressures to win. However, there is still one competition that has not lost sight of the importance of athletics.

Athletes from around Wyoming will make their way to Laramie this summer to compete in the Wyoming Summer Special Olympics. The games will take place on May 7-9. One annual event to help send these athletes is just around the corner.

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, welcome to the coldest, most exciting time of the year. The Rock Springs Jackalope Jump will be held April 11th, in the parking lot of the White Mountain Mall.
