Today’s Holiday: Cheyenne Frontier Days

Today’s Holiday:
Cheyenne Frontier Days

What began in 1897 as an attempt to keep alive the sports and customs of the Old West has grown into a week-long festival that regularly attracts over 300,000 visitors. Cheyenne, Wyoming, was one of the wealthiest cattle-raising cities in the world in the 1880s, and now it celebrates its colorful history by staging one of the world’s largest outdoor rodeos. The festival also includes parades of covered wagons, stagecoaches and other old-time vehicles; ceremonial Native American dances; the crowning of a “Miss Frontier” queen; and pageants recreating events from Cheyenne’s past.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch
