Description
CHEYENNE CATTLE ROUNDUP by PRISCILLA BURGERS
A cowboy guides some of the 550 cattle in the cattle roundup for Cheyenne, Wyoming's annual Frontier Days Rodeo, the world's largest outdoor rodeo and Western Celebration. The first Frontier Days was held in 1897 as a cowboy roundup that featured bronco busting and steer roping contests as well as pony races. When the event was over, the cowboys stayed around to sort cattle and brand calves. They also roped steers, demonstrated rope tricks, and challenged each other in the activity that was a true test of a cowboy's skill, which was riding bucking broncos. Everyone liked it so much that the next year's Frontier Days was expanded to two days and included a parade. More than 100 years later, Cheyenne Frontier Days is a 10-day festival, featuring the world's best PRCA rodeo action and Western entertainment. Livability.com just named Cheyenne Frontier Days as the top festival in the nation in their annual Top 10 Summer Festivals.
