CHEYENNE, Wyo. –The weekly “Cruise The Legend” event that became a way for the residents of Cheyenne to stay connected to one another at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic last spring was given an official nod of approval from the Cheyenne City Council.
During their April 12nd, 2021 meeting, Cheyenne’s Governing Body moved forward with a resolution to officially support the event. The resolution was sponsored by council members White, Seagrave, Johnson, Esquibel, Cook, Aldrich, Rinne, and Roybal.
Councilman Pete Laybourn, while not a sponsor of the resolution offered his support over the weekly event. He cited his concerns over a few “bad actors” who violate city ordinances during the cruise.
Mayor Patrick Collins called on event organizers to help ensure those who attend the event to be mindful of the people who live in the neighborhoods that the cruise route runs by.
The measure was passed with a unanimous vote.
Last year, organizers used the event to raise money for various different groups in Cheyenne.
“Cruise The Legend” is an organized event where Cheyenne residents cruise the strip which is described as being between 25th and Warren and 24th and Central Ave, on Saturday Nights.
This year the “Cruise The Legend” is scheduled to run every Saturday evening starting on April 17th and running through October.
“Cruise the Legend” is a COVID safe community activity and is good, clean
family fun, and is promoted by Visit Cheyenne,” the resolution stated.
The resolution added that “Cruise the Legend” draws classic and antique vehicles, is an opportunity to see some amazing vehicles, and is reminiscent of growing up in Cheyenne.
“Cruise the Legend is an effort to bring the community to the downtown
area and businesses and restaurants in the downtown area benefit from the increased foot traffic; the resolution went on to say.
