The Northern Wyoming Herald, Volume 13, Number 12, February 2, 1917 Page 3, Column 6., I tried to adjust but some of the fonts were faded on the scanned newspaper on their part.
The Orange and Black Club Powell (?), WY
The Orange and Black Club roller rink was in Powell but I am not sure if it was in Powell, Wyoming. This rink was formed by the club. The name Orange and Black may have been referenced to what many skate rinks today uses for rentals-- orange wheels and black skates(usually tan). It may have had it start that way. Who knows.
A museum courier found the listing for 1910s in her local newspapers online as she was trying to find information about a skating rink that was in what is now, Homesteader Museum.
They first opened the rink on Friday, January 30, 1917. They folded--I do not know when. But the article in 1917 showed that they opened the rink with a Maple floor.
