Cheyenne Frontier Days got underway on Friday, the 18th of July. Our local newspaper said we could go to F.E. Warren Air Force Base to take a base tour, but the information was incorrect. The base did have the Fort Russell Days display open with re-enactors present playing the role of what the base was like in its earliest history. There were also WWII re-enactors and Revolutionary War re-enactors. The latter turned out to be pretty neat for Nolan as he was able to shoot a Kentucky Squirrel muzzle loading rifle, as shown below.
Then on Saturday morning, as we did last year, Nolan, Barrett and I went over to "Broncos Day" at Cheyenne Frontier Days. After waiting in line in the hot July sun last year, this year we arrived early and were the first to enter the little area where the Broncos alumni, cheerleaders and mascot were located. Below is the picture of the boys with a few of the cheerleaders after they met former Broncos Randy Gradishar and Billy Thompson.
Then the boys were able to meet Miles (the mascot) for an autograph and picture, which was a delight.
We stopped at the main entrance area for a nice picture, below, since the gates had just opened and no crowds were really around.
Saturday night, Kelly and I went to the first Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts concert at Frontier Park. We had standing room only down on the track, and met up with some friends and had a great time. Needless to say, Kelly was very excited for Rascal Flatts! Both shows were very good. Below is a few pictures from the night show that I took on my Blackberry. Kelly has some more shots on her phone that we may post later.
