Linda Devine, an avid supporter of Laramie Main Street and the Revive the Wyo campaign and owner of the local food truck that aims to bring people together through food, has organized this event in honor of her birthday. The event will channel the annual celebratory benefits towards community building in Downtown Laramie. After attending a past Hazel Miller & The Collective concert, Devine contracted the eclectic jazz, R&B, and blues band to perform at the birthday fundraiser. Playing music that “excites and involves the listener,” Devine hopes that attendees will be moved to dance and sing along, and hopefully donate to the Revie the Wyo efforts!

About Revive the Wyo: In August of 2019, Laramie Main Street was gifted the shuttered Wyo Theater. Since that time, a dedicated team of community volunteers made up of artists, business leaders, educators, and preservationists have been exploring the feasibility of what it would take to turn the building into a mixed use educational, entertainment venue. At this time, our highest priority are improvements to make the building safe to occupy, including electrical and mechanical upgrades, a fire suppression system and ADA accessibility. These items are essential to bring the building up to code, providing for public safety when the doors are re open.
