Uinta County firsts with Joe Hickey

Lonetree resident Joe Hickey entertained a large group of Uinta County Brown Bag Lunch fans on Oct.6 in the Beeman-Cashin building. Hickey has been a popular speaker for the lunch series and on this occasion spoke of Wyoming “firsts” that took place in Uinta County.

“You know how sometimes Evanston folks don’t think the Valley exists,” Hickey said. “Well, Evanston isn’t getting totally included in this presentation. So many things happened in Uinta County that was a first in the state of Wyoming, I know I’ll leave something out; like the Chinese story, which was a big part of Evanston’s history.”
