Breaking News: Howdy Pardner Loses Digit at Ribbon Cutting


Long time Howdy Pardner Ambassador Club President Opie Opalson was involved in an unfortunate accident over the weekend. Following the final distribution of mimosas to visitors at the Jackson Hole Airport on Sunday, Opie and a merry, over-served band of Howdies drove straight to the ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the newest Chamber member store, Wrecking Balls.

Owned by non-other than Miley Cyrus, the store will specialize in off-beat Christmas ornaments. According to eyewitness reports, while Opalson held the ribbon, out-going mayor Mark Barron who had reportedly  just finished his fourth cup of his wife Ruth Ann's newest coffee creation, slammed the golden shears shut unknowing that Opalson's middle finger was severed in the process. Said Barron, "I just thought it was a tough ribbon and I was totally jacked-up on that coffee!"

Cyrus who was present at the time and fully clothed recovered the severed digit and pledged to have it fashioned into a Christmas Ornament to be auctioned at the benefit to help Opie's Medical Expenses. Turns out he just missed by two days the  medical coverage under the Affordable Care Act as they claimed it a pre-existing condition. Ruth Ann has pledged all profits to Opie from her newly renamed creation Opie's Bird Brew. Donations can also be made at the Chamber until Wednesday, April 2.
