Frontier Days

Cheyenne's celebration of Frontier Days this weekend includes something extra to cheer about. The city is featured today (Friday) as one of the top ten 'most livable cities in America.' A-A-R-P The Magazine looked at a combination of affordability and quality of life in choosing communities. Cheyenne's cowboy culture, wide-open spaces and friendly neighborhoods boosted the score. Mayor Rick Kaysen is accepting the award on behalf of the city today...








Dale Steenbergen with the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce says the award is appreciated and the recognition is shared with all residents...







Other cities on the list: Wenatchee (weh-NATCH-ee), Washington; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Midland, Texas. Cheyenne's bragging rights include a low cost of living, no taxes on pensions, the Greenway, the Botanic Gardens, easy access to hunting and fishing, and popular community events, such as Frontier Days – featuring the world's largest outdoor rodeo – and the A-A-R-P National Spelling Bee.
