Rex Allen, Norma Allen and Connie Olsen attended the open house at the Star Valley Wyoming LDS temple on October 6, 2016.
The following are photos that we took of the temple and the Afton Tabernacle.  Some photos of the interior and exterior of the temple were  downloaded from http://www.mormonnewsroom.org used with permission.






This was the entrance for the tour.

After the tour of the temple the missionaries had a tent set up where they had displays and literature and they would take everyone's pictures in front of a large poster of the temple.  This was such a nice keepsake.

 




We were lucky to have been able to park at the temple.  At first I thought that there must not be very many people here for the tour, judging by the sparse parking lot but we soon learned that most of the people were parked about a quarter mile away at the Stake Center.

What was really fun is that people were shuttled from the church to the temple by covered wagon.
