Julianne Couch expects the publication of her book, “Jukeboxes and Jackalopes: A Wyoming Bar Journey,” from Greybull’s Pronghorn Press in June. Along with photographer Ronald Hansen, Julianne visited close to 30 of Wyoming’s most off-the-beaten path bars. The result is a travel memoir comprising essays about exotic and evocatively named watering holes such as Spotted Horse Saloon, Cactus Tree Pub, and Rowdy’s Spirit & Bait. According to Julianne: “If a town had more than two bars, it was off the bar tour list. You’d be surprised at how many that leaves.”
Julianne and Ron live in Laramie, where she teaches writing at the University of Wyoming and he is principal of the design and photography firm Horse Creek Studio. Ron’s photos accompany each essay.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
