GILLETTE, Wyo. — Get ready for the 17th Annual Guns n’ Hoses Blood Drive, a friendly competition between Campbell County’s first responders to see who can recruit the most life-saving blood donors.

This year’s event will be at the Gillette College Pronghorn Center Flex Space, 3807 College Drive in Gillette, on Dec.17, 18 and 19.

Event Times
  • Dec. 17: 10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
  • Dec. 18: 10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
  • Dec. 19: 7:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.

Whether you’re Team Guns or Team Hoses, a donation makes a critical difference. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and a single donation can save up to three lives, the announcement said.

“Blood can’t be manufactured — it only comes from donors like you,” Campbell County Health said in the event announcement. “Your support not only helps us continue saving lives, but also strengthens our community spirit.”
