City Of Cheyenne: The Mayor's Minute From Mayor Patrick Collins – July 30th

Press release from the City of Cheyenne:

July 30, 2021

CHEYENNE – Hello Cheyenne, it is Frontier Days, and our city is busy.  Not only is the city busy, but so are Judy and I.

I started out last Friday with an interview with 850 KOA out of Denver.  I was going to say no, but realized it is an opportunity to sell Cheyenne and Frontier Days to the Denver market.  Hope to see a lot of Colorado residents here spending money.

Lunch that day was spent at the Chamber’s Pardners N’ Prosperity event at the Ice and Events Center.  It is a chance to celebrate our business community.  I spoke at the luncheon and thanked our partners that make our city a success: LEADS, Visit Cheyenne/DDA, County Commission, State, Military, and the Chamber to name a few.  Thanks to all of you for making Cheyenne a great place to live, work, and play.

The unveiling of the Chris LeDoux statute on Friday afternoon was an emotional event.  Chris grew up like many of us, the son of an Air Force member, and he attended Cheyenne Central High School.  It is fitting that CFD is honoring Chris this year. A Wyoming guy who was a Collegiate and World Champion Bareback rider, Grammy nominated singer, and someone we all admired.  Ned LeDoux and Garth Brooks spoke so eloquently, and it was great to see the family all together.  One highlight for my wife Judy was the chance to meet Garth Brooks.  He shook her hand and introduced himself.  She did a big fan girl thing.
