AFTON, Wyo. — About 2,500 people turned out for the groundbreaking of Star Valley Wyoming Temple Saturday.

The religious building, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will serve several Mormon stakes in the surrounding area. Star Valley is home to a large rural LDS population.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attending by church and civic leaders such as Wyoming U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis.
