The Cowboy State Games has become a tradition that is in its 21st year in Wyoming . This years sports festival will feature 21 sports over seven weekends in January, February, and March. There will be something for everyone. Events will include basketball, volleyball, karate and judo, alpine and Nordic skiing, power lifting, archery, arm wrestling, fencing, equestrian, gymnastics, and more. All events with the exception of gymnastics will take place in Casper. Douglas will host gymnastics.
When the Games first began, events were staged during the summer, but over the last six years this has changed. Now the major portion of the Games are scheduled during the winter, with President's Day weekend being the busiest. The Games have become extremely popular with people from all over the state, but they are not intended to be a large media event. The games present an opportunity for both young and old to compete just for fun.
The Games are open to all Wyoming athletes of all ages and skill levels. Entries are now being accepted. For more information, log onto their website or call the Cowboy State Games office:

Just curious if you have summer games....my daughters would like to run if they offer events for 6 and 10 year olds.
Thanks,
