Birthdays & Anniversaries

(Continued From Front)COVID-19—a further blow to the State’s tourism indus-try and State coffers. This is the first cancelled Cheyenne Frontier Days in 124 years. The Governor went on to remind citizens that the State didn’t force these cancella-tions; it was a joint decision with the chairs, boards, and directors of the events, a point echoed by Tom Hirsig, CEO and President of Cheyenne Frontier Days. He recom-mended that folks offer their support and encouragement for next year’s events to the many thousands of hardwork-ing volunteers, because ac-cording to Hirsig, “we’re all going to need it.” As for our own Weston County Fair and Rodeo, the Fair Board meets on Mon-day, June 8th, to discuss op-tions and how to proceed with the summer events. The meeting will be broadcast on Zoom because of so much public interest. According to Fairgrounds Manager Kara Fladstol Brown, “Both our board and the junior livestock committee are committed to

giving the kids an avenue for project completion and doing the most they can to allow those kids to showcase their hard work.”
