Utah Highway Patrol Troopers scored big on “Dear Widows Weekend” but not in the way most attendees to the annual raucous event wanted.
Every year in the middle of the Utah deer hunt, Wendover Casinos male strippers to the lonely deer widows while their husbands look for a different kind of big game.
And every year the UHP mounts a check point just a mile out of town to crack down on ladies who may have partied a little too hard before returning home.

I didn’t see where this checkpoint was advertised in the media beforehand like the Utah laws require.
