NEWCA Hosts Inaugural Cribbage Tournament, Raising Nearly $2,600 for Skilled Trades Students

On Saturday, February 22nd, the Northeast Wyoming Contractors Association (NEWCA), a committee under the umbrella of the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce, hosted its inaugural Cribbage Tournament. The event was a tremendous success, bringing together 32 participants in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere, all in support of a great cause.

Through sponsorships and player entries, the tournament raised almost $2,600 to support Campbell County students pursuing careers in skilled trades. These funds will directly benefit students looking to build their futures in industries that are essential to our community’s growth and success.

The competition was fierce, but in the end, two players emerged victorious:

1st Place: Bob Julius – Winner of $250 in Chamber Gold Bucks

2nd Place: Jim Stratton – Winner of $100 in Chamber Gold Bucks

NEWCA also made a special effort to encourage local senior participation by offering sponsorships. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we were able to cover the entry fees for approximately 11 seniors from Campbell County, allowing them to join in the fun at no cost.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, and supported this event. Your contributions make a lasting impact on the future workforce of Campbell County. We look forward to making this tournament an annual tradition and continuing our mission to support skilled trades education in our community!

Check out our first annual Cribbage Tournament. The proceeds from this tournament will go to the scholarship fund, which is awarded yearly to students in Campbell County who are pursuing the trades in post-secondary education.
We are looking for event sponsors and players! Contact us for more info.

This has been a focal point of NEWCA for several years. Alongside Gillette College, we are working to promote the skilled trades as a viable career field.

Vibrant Community Assessment

This survey is intended to provide a high-level assessment of the community from several different perspectives (city leadership, staff, citizens, partners, etc). The survey consists of 14 questions and should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. The results will be discussed in upcoming meetings and used to set a baseline and initial priorities for the planning process. This survey is vital because it provides the most complete picture of what Gillette residents see in their community today and where improvements should be focused. This survey is based on the book Building A Vibrant Community: How Citizen-Powered Change Is Reshaping America by Quint Studer.
