Cheyenne native Charles Hardy, author and editor of the Cowboy in Caracas web site, will discuss his life in Venezuela and “The World’s Best-Kept Secret of Democracy” on Sunday, Oct. 30, 6 p.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 3005 Thomes Ave., Cheyenne. Hardy left Cheyenne at 18, became a priest, and eventually was assigned to Venezuela, living for eight years in a cardboard- and-tin shack on the edge of Caracas. No longer an active priest, Hardy lives and writes in Caracas, with occasional forays to his windswept Wyoming homeland.
