Cody Country Chamber of Commerce

The Buffalo Bill Art Show, Cody, Wyoming is the largest fundraiser for the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, enabling us to fulfil our mission and serve the Cody business community. It's also one of the top Western art shows in the country and a major part of Cody's thriving arts scene. These are just a few of the amazing pieces in this year's small works sale!

Earlier this month, we welcomed Superintendents Cam Sholly (Yellowstone National Park) and Chip Jenkins (Grand Teton National Park) to a special National Parks Day Cody Club. This annual meeting allows the NPS leadership to speak with the Cody business community, provide an update on issues in the Parks, and enjoy a weekend in Cody.

We are grateful for their great leadership and talented staff who help preserve our National Parks resources!

The Superintendents discussed how the Parks are planning for anticipated visitor growth, with Yellowstone soon projected to see 5 million visitors in a year for the first time. Staffing, staff housing, and infrastructure are major issues for the Parks as they prepare for increased visitation. Thanks to grants and private donations, the Parks are making progress to build more worker housing.

While gate limits and registration systems are always part of the discussion, they do not have any imminent plans to limit visitation. Rising visitor traffic usually benefits gateway community economies, although the same limiting factors that occur inside the Parks can sometimes make it a challenge to serve increased numbers of visitors in Cody.
