Let’s just say, this wern’t my first rodeo – AND when talking ‘bout Cheyenne Frontier Days, won’t be my last either.

Because of my marathon schedule, attended Frontier Days on opening weekend this year (running San Fran next Sunday).  Crowds were down slightly…but only slightly – still “the Daddy of ‘em All”, still America’s largest outdoor rodeo.

Being my third year, have learned the drill – FOOD, then rodeo. 2013: bison burger topped with elk brats; 2014: elk burger plus a bite of Ash’s camel patty.  This year settled on rattlesnake bratwurst, an order of spiral fries – YUM! – & fresh squeezed lemonade (of course).  Frontier Days is as much about the FOOD as it is about buckin’ broncs 🙂

Bought a seat in Cheyenne’s new ‘South 40’ section.  Closer to entertainment (trick riders & pageant winners) but further from the real action (this year’s pics are not as sharp).  Live and learn.

Bronc buckin’, bull riding, steer wrestlin’ & calf roping – yep, LOVE this stuff.  Next year, tickets to both weekends 🙂

Finished the day in Indian Village; watched a Native American hoop dance.  Sharing this clip should be less controversial than last year’s calf roping memento.  LOL>  LOVE native music – another FAAANNNTASTIC day!
