"Yesterday's Cars" exhibit at Laramie County Public Library

From a Laramie County Public Library press release:

If you’re a car lover, then the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne has something for you.

Through June 15, the library is hosting a new exhibit, "Yesterday’s Cars," featuring both collectibles and photography. The photography comes from the talents of regional artist Beth Buskirk, who is drawn to rusting old cars that have been left to decay in fields.

"Wyoming is a great place for old cars," Buskirk said. "They are out there, part of the landscape, just waiting for someone to notice them and take their pictures."

The model cars are on loan courtesy of Lon Harper, who has been collecting precision model cars for more than 25 years. Many of them were produced by the Danbury and Franklin Mints. Both displays can be found on the first floor of the library, located at 2200 Pioneer Ave.
