Calcutta Notifications

Under Wyoming Statute § 6-7-101, organizations conducting a Calcutta are required to provide written notification to the local governing body at least 30 days prior to the event.

Upon receipt, the notification will be forwarded to the Sheridan City Council for review. Formal Council approval is not required. However, Council may object to the event by resolution.
