One might think if you've seen one Cheyenne Frontier Days, you've seen them all--- I've been attending since the 1970's and have been to many, but I have to admit I still enjoy them.
WARNING TO THOSE WHO DON'T:) This is probably more of the same, but just some of my impressions/photos of the 2010 version.
As George Strait sings it, "If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne...."

I WENT TO THE INDIAN VILLAGE AND WATCHED THE DANCERS....THEIR ANNOUNCER WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND STRESSED THAT MOST OF THEIR PARTICIPANTS WERE ACTUALLY COLLEGE GRADUATES, MANY EDUCATORS, OR ATTENDING SCHOOL, MANY OF THE YOUNGER ONES WERE ATHLETES, STATE RECORD HOLDERS. MY ONLY NEGATIVE IMPRESSION WAS OF SOME OF THEIR GLITTERY SPANDEX OUTFITS--NOT VERY NATURAL--I LIKE BUCKSKIN:)
WILD HORSE GULCH---STOREFRONTS (THE BLUE HOTEL, DAN ACTUALLY DESIGNED)WITH SHOPPING AREAS OF SADDLES, LEATHER GOODS, OLD-FASHIONED COOKWARE, TRINKETS, WESTERN CLOTHES, ETC.

GET ALONG LITTLE DOGGIES----THE LIVESTOCK WAS STRONG THIS YEAR.

THE GIRLS WERE FAST IN THE BARREL-RACING.
THE OUTRIDERS ARE PRETTY AMAZING, TOO, IN RECOVERING THE RIDERS.
OUCH! BULLRIDERS MUST BE PRETTY STRONG, TOO, OR HARD-HEADED!
THE GRAND FINALE-- THE WILD HORSE RACE ALWAYS MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THE PARTICIPANTS' HEADS....BOTH HORSES AND COWBOYS:)
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS FELLOW LOOKS RELIEVED.......
The videos are backwards-- thanks to my still not being able to figure out the blog system, but you will get the idea of how she has progressed---from the goggles that just covered her eyes, to the ones that cover both her eyes and nose. She is close to becoming a Guppy:) Check out her progress.

The Kellys, Worleys, and Barbers visited Las Vegas, 4th of July weekend, 2010. We stayed at the Monte Carlo Casino. 
Tom, Patsy, Lisa, Keith, Diane & Dan at Margaritaville at the Flamingo. We ate, shopped, relaxed in the Adirondack chairs, and had a Great Time.

"Cheeseburger In Paradise"
We saw Shaque O'Neil as he and his entourage walked through Caesar's Palace...quite a commotion.
President Obama was also in Vegas the same time we were --- with some roads closed by the Secret Service and helicopters hovering above.
