Cheyenne Frontier Days – A day in Cheyenne


The Glenores, Venns, Webers, McIntoshes, and Weeks drove to the Depot at 8 a.m., while the rest of the group went to the City College to watch the Thunderbird Air Show. Both groups met in town about mid-day. The earlier group parked in reserved spaces at the parking garage, arranged by Doug and rewarded with a model Corvette to Mr. Bradshaw. We then headed to the Square at the Depot where the Kiwanis Club provides a free pancake breakfast to any who stand in line on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On this day they fed 10,300 people. They have cook wagons and teams of two guys – one pours the batter on the grill and the other flips the pancakes. They flip them out of the wagon and towards a bunch of kids (Cub Scouts, Brownies, etc.) who are holding foil-covered baking sheets on which they try to catch the pancakes. There are a lot of misses and someone is always cleaning up those pancakes so no one slips. One young boy caught the pancakes on the rim of his straw hat and then rolled them down onto the tray.

We then took a trolley tour of Cheyenne for 1 1/2 hours. The driver/guide never stopped feeding us information. He had literally "written the book" on the history of the city. After lunch and a little shopping, we headed back to the hotel for more swimming, napping, etc. before dinner.
