The Moondance Diner opened its doors to customers at 5:30 AM on Monday, January 12th, in LaBarge, Wyoming. The first customers to get coffee and breakfast were Kent Profit (Father of diner owner Cheryl Pierce) and friend Guy Decker. More people came in during the morning to experience the opening day and wish everyone well. The first patron to get a sack lunch to go was Geno Munoz of Green River, who works for King Electric in LaBarge. Dennis Rollins, with Wolf Gang of Wyoming - an independent film production company out of Casper, was on hand to video record the events of opening day as part of the Wyoming PBS "Wyoming Portraits" television show series.
