Anyone been to the Cheyenne Rodeo??

[Bud11]

Will be in Denver in July and my girfriend and I thought we would scoot up and go to WY for the rodeo in later July. Never been to one before. What experiences have you guys had? Bud

It's a big doin's Good rodeo. Parades, Air shows, Night shows. you name it. Parades are fun. Lots of stuff going on all day and most of the night. Carnival behind the stands. Things are expensive, but what isn't anymore?

If you plan on staying over night you better get reservations now if it's not already too late. You can stay in Ft. Collins, Greeley and even Denver if you need to.

Google Cheyenne Frontier Days for a lot of info.

I got bucked off of some of the finest bucking stock in the world there 50 years ago.

Many times. I grew up in Laramie, 90-year-old grandmother still lives in Cheyenne. Her bank gave us tickets to sit right over the chutes for the bull riding comp a couple years back -- what a hoot! Cheyenne Frontier Days is truly the Daddy of Them All.

Twenty years later, at the 100th Daddy of 'em All

I bet you had him rode until that idiot opened the gate. I have never been there for the big rodeo but I spent a couple of days watching "slack" one year. It was enjoyable. Larry

Been out there twice. Not so much for the Rodeo,but flew out to Denver to take the Denver Post Steam Train Special to Cheyenne for the day.What a Hoot ! They have already put tickets on sale for this year and I doubt there are any left for the train by this time. Usually sell out in a day or two , but the Rodeo is a fun time, and they have a really nice Western Museun near by.Last time I was there in the late 90`s you could even go see the spot where Tom Horn was hanged. No shortage of fun things to see and do.

If you ever thought you might like to see a rodeo, this is the one to see.

They still having the "chuck wagon" races up there? Those are a hoot. Always a wild time in Cheyenne.
