Nothing could slow down the Cheyenne Hispanic Festival this weekend.

Despite rainy and chilly conditions that made for a bit of a drab day across Cheyenne on Saturday, the environment at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza — where the festival was held — remained bubbly and lively as those of Hispanic origin in the city socialized and celebrated their culture in the annual event that’s been held now for over a decade.

Though storm warnings were announced throughout the evening, the sky cleared just in time for #NightRanger and #KidRock to take the stage on July 27.

Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Kid Rock brought a mix of rock, rap, and country to a packed arena, carrying the audience through his vast repertoire of music.

Night Ranger opened up for Kid Rock, and the traditional #rock band made the bleachers shake with their electrified style of #music.

Rows of cars made their way onto F.E. Warren Air Force Base July 27 to find the best seats for the Wings Over Warren Air Show.

Though the morning was cloudy, spirits were high for those who attended. Several helicopters were on display and attendees lined up to check them out before the show.

The pilots for the #Thunderbirds showed off the pure power of their F-16 Fighting Falcons, displaying the many capabilities that these amazing aircraft have to offer.

A rain shower soaked #Cheyenne, but the volunteers of the parade committee still gathered to set up for the third #GrandParade this week.

Many attendees lined up and down Capitol and Carey Avenues, decked out in their rain gear. Volunteers helped them find more shaded areas to sit so they would not get wet when enjoying the parade.

However, as soon as the parade began, the weather cleared up and the sun was shining off the streets of Cheyenne.

No one can ever take away Tuesday night from the Missouri Thunder.

And within the walls of Frontier Park Arena, the Thunder’s riders were able to celebrate a monumental occasion in style inside a building already steeped in so much history.

The Professional Bull Riders held the latter show of its two-night competition Tuesday in #Cheyenne for the event as part of the first-ever regular season for its new Team Series, a concept that turns the normally individualized world of bull riding into a squad-based league.

It was truly a new frontier for each of the eight teams involved, but only one, Missouri, managed to get the job done and win both of its five-on-five games against other squads across the two nights to be crowned the first event champions in PBR Team Series history.

Cheyenne continued to celebrate Frontier Days with its second Grand Parade this morning, July 26.

More western history was celebrated, and people both locally and internationally attended the event. The Thunderbirds also made an appearance and waved to fans as they rode by.

This is the second of four parades that take place through downtown #Cheyenne during Cheyenne Frontier Days, with the route going down Capitol Avenue and then back up Carey Avenue.

It’s a sweet tradition (literally) at #cheyennefrontierdays, and the first Pancake Breakfast of the 2022 festival got going Monday morning with plenty of hungry attendees lining up for a bite.

Held thrice annually beginning at 7 a.m. on the Monday, Wednesday and second Friday of Frontier Days, respectively, the event is officially hosted by the #Kiwanis Club of #Cheyenne but has plenty of volunteers helping out from other organizations to serve upwards of 10,000 breakfast-goers at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza for each iteration of the event.

Per the Frontier Days website, more than 100,000 pancakes, 520 gallons of coffee and 475 gallons of syrup, among other items, are made and used at no cost to the attendees, who enjoyed their meals under sunny skies and some live music Monday morning.

The “Daddy of ’em All” isn’t made possible because of the work of just one person.

Though #CheyenneFrontierDays is what #Wyoming’s capital city is most known for, becoming ingrained in the city’s culture through over a century of celebrating Western culture, it doesn’t just spring up out of the ground naturally.

The event takes an army to put on, one that’s at least 2,500 people strong of volunteer labor. That year-round work builds connections in the meantime, and there’s one way in particular that many members of the volunteer committees each responsible for various roles around Frontier Park describe that relationship.

Family.

Workmen crowded near the Albany Bar and Grill in the Depot Plaza on Thursday, July 21, as they set the pedestal for one of eight statues being installed throughout the city.

The statue, “Comparing Time,” was created by artist Joey Bainer and now sits looking toward the Depot as a testimony to Cheyenne’s locomotive history.

It was the first in what was a day of installations for local mason Don “Dog” Jones and his crew. They brought the prefabricated pedestals, as well as the statues, to their respective locations to beat the clock before Frontier Days arrives.

The total transformation of the former Central Plaza Hotel on 1719 Central Ave. is going to come in spurts, but the project is about to reach a major milestone.

And when the Paris West restaurant on the bottom floor of the building finally gets up and running with all of its bells and whistles, those involved aren’t just gunning for local praise. They’re looking for national and international acclaim.

Ambitious? Maybe. But it’s safe to say the eatery won’t be like anything #Cheyenne has ever seen before.

As one part of local real estate developer Corey Loghry’s massive plan to transform the rundown, blighted property into a thriving highlight of the city known as The Downtowner, Paris West — which will open to the public with an adjusted menu for #CheyenneFrontierDays before fully opening in August — will bring a modern vision to an over 60-year-old space through an innovative and flamboyant style that blends cooking and entertainment.

Cassie and Chance Pennock have learned plenty about the tricks of the retail trade in the little over a year that they’ve run Creative Compass Gifts.

But above nearly everything else, the duo has found that location and foot traffic are especially important factors. So when the gift and party store’s previous spot off of Logan Avenue wasn’t cutting it, they shopped around for new digs to post up at.

Work and final preparations are being done for Creative Compass Gifts to open up its new location at the #FrontierMall in a storefront between Bourbon Street Candy and Go! Calendars, Games & Toys, with the Pennocks stating that they’re expecting to reopen there at 10 a.m. Friday, just in time for #cheyennefrontierdays.

There aren’t many occasions throughout the year when Wyomingites are brought together en masse into one place.

So when #JennieGordon, the First Lady of #Wyoming and wife of Gov. Mark Gordon, wants to forge partnerships for the #WyomingHungerInitiative — a statewide effort to end food insecurity that she helped launch in 2019 — she tries to take advantage when she can.

And with #CheyenneFrontierDays kicking off this week, there are few better times to do so.

For the second year running, the program is partnering with the “Daddy of ’em All” by selling a T-shirt featuring both organizations’ logos to support the initiative’s mission, while July 30 will officially be “Wyoming Hunger Initiative Day” during both the Grand Parade and rodeo.
