Dear Friends,
As we look back on another remarkable summer, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you and our community for your incredible support and dedication.First and foremost, thank you to our volunteers who gave their time, energy, and passion during Cheyenne Frontier Days™. Your hard work was essential in helping us create a memorable and seamless experience for our visitors. Whether you were guiding guests through the Museum, assisting with events, or greeting people at the front, your contributions were invaluable. We simply could not do what we do without you.
I’d also like to recognize everyone who contributed to our WyoGives campaign. Your generosity during this annual day of giving not only supports our daily operations, but also reflects the strong belief our community holds in the mission and future of the Museum. Your donations will directly support the development of our new Education Center, the Aloha Vaqueros traveling exhibit, and the ongoing preservation of our collections. Thank you for helping us continue to preserve and share our rich Western heritage.
I’m also thrilled to report that our Western Art Show & Sale was a tremendous success. From the incredible artists and dedicated buyers to the volunteers and staff who worked so hard to make the event possible—thank you. This signature event continues to grow in both prestige and impact, serving as a vital fundraiser and a beautiful celebration of Western art and culture. As we look ahead to the fall, we do so with great momentum. We are excited to celebrate the 2025 Hall of Fame Inductees, and to kick off our October programming, including Thankful Thursday on October 16. We will also host two new opening receptions for upcoming exhibits, so stay tuned for more exciting details.
As I often say, there’s never a dull moment at the Museum—there’s always something new to see and do. Thank you for your continued support, dedication, and belief in our mission.
Sincerely,
Josie Molloy Executive Director 307-778-1416

45th Annual Art Show & Sale
Fred Emerich, born and raised in the Cheyenne, Wyoming area, has led a distinguished career and life deeply rooted in his early experiences on the family ranch, his educational pursuits, and his unwavering commitment to his community and profession. His journey began with foundational years spent engaged in 4-H and FFA during high school, laying the groundwork for a life dedicated to agriculture, veterinary science, public service, and particularly
Cheyenne Frontier Days™. After graduating from East High School in 1963, Fred earned a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the University of Wyoming in 1968, followed by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Colorado State University (CSU) in 1973. After receiving his DVM, Fred began his career in Cheyenne in 1974 at Yellowstone Animal Hospital, where he worked until 2000, dedicating 26 years to veterinary practice.
Fred’s commitment to his community and profession, however, extended well beyond his practice. In 1974, Fred joined the Contract Acts Committee, taking a pioneering role in organizing area veterinarians to ensure the presence of professional veterinary care in the arena at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ during slack, the main show, and at night shows. His tenure as an arena veterinarian spanned over 35 years, during which he provided critical care for the chuckwagon teams, flat racing events, and all the other competitive event animals for CFD. His responsibilities also included overseeing the integrity of the show through the management of urine and blood samples for flat track racing.
Beyond his veterinary responsibilities, Fred made other significant contributions to the rodeo and CFD
community through various roles. He was a PRCA timer for rough stock events for approximately 10 years and has held positions on the CFD Old West Museum’s Board of Directors from 1991-1993 and 2016-2022, where he served his second term on the board as Secretary, Vice President, President, and Ex Officio. At the Old West Museum, Fred has also served as a CFD Foundation Representative, a Carriage Collection Representative (during the Carriage Collection’s founding), and has, over the course of his life, served on the Long Range Planning, Development, Hall of Fame, Exhibits, and Campaign/Fundraising Committees and the Western Legacy Advisory Council. During these roles (and many others), Fred has accomplished countless consequential deeds for the Old West Museum. In 1975, Fred met his future wife, Keren, at CFD. They
Hall of Fame
were married on the first Saturday of CFD the very next year, a further testament to Fred’s deep-rooted connection to the event and its community.
Dr. Emerich’s professional leadership was also recognized with his election as Wyoming Board of Veterinary Medicine President for two terms, reflecting his respected status in the veterinary community. Fred was also appointed to the CSU Foundation Board. His commitment to public service led him into politics, serving as a Laramie County Commissioner from 1980 to 1984 and in the
Wyoming Senate from 2010 to 2018, where he contributed to shape policies for the betterment of his state and community.
Today, Dr. Emerich’s legacy includes not only his professional achievements and contributions to veterinary medicine and public service but also in fostering the traditions and spirit of the American West, symbolized by his enduring involvement with Cheyenne Frontier Days™ and his commitment to community service and expansion projects.
Patrick Gottsch grew up on his family’s farm in Elkhorn, Nebraska, where he learned firsthand the importance of rural America in the lives of everyday Americans. These early experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for agriculture and its values, which guided his future career.
In 1991, Patrick began working in broadcasting with Superior Livestock Auction, a stepping stone to his greatest achievement: the launch of Rural Free Delivery Television—better known as RFD-TV—in 1988. As the first 24-hour network devoted entirely to rural America, RFD-TV delivered daily market updates, weather, agricultural news, and Western sports to millions of homes. Patrick’s vision gave farmers, ranchers, and rodeo fans their own national media platform, spotlighting a way of life too often overlooked.
Patrick later built Rural Media Group, the parent company of RFD-TV, into a multi-network powerhouse dedicated to rural America and Western culture. Rural Media Group expanded to include The Cowboy Channel, The Cowgirl Channel, and Rural Radio on SiriusXM. Through these platforms, Patrick created a unified media presence that celebrated agriculture, Western sports, and family values while bringing rural stories to a national audience.
The impact Patrick had on Cheyenne Frontier Days™ was dynamic. Under a PRCA agreement, CFD became the first rodeo ever broadcast by RFD-TV. He later served as a Grand Marshal and produced a national broadcast of the entire parade. By putting rodeo on television around the clock, Patrick motivated ticket buyers and helped boost attendance at rodeos across the country.
Patrick always made family a cornerstone of his mission, involving his daughters in the business from a young age and showcasing family as a central theme of his networks. His legacy is one of passion, innovation, and dedication. His contributions ensured that rural America’s stories, values, and traditions—especially rodeo—will continue to be celebrated for generations. Patrick passed away in 2024.
Dan Hough began volunteering for Cheyenne Frontier Days™ in 1964 while still in high school. He initially served with the Park Police, then joined the Grounds Committee, and later assisted at the arena’s wheel gate.
After graduating college in 1974, Dan became a foot marshal with the Parades Committee. Within five years, he was promoted to Assistant, overseeing VIPs, rodeo queens, and the recruitment of marching bands from across the country.
Dan also played a key role in managing the prenight show acts. In one memorable instance, he gave up a scheduled performance of the national anthem by Bill Dubois to allow a contestant’s young redheaded daughter to sing—her name was Reba.
In 1983, Dan was elected into the HEELs, and by 1987 his deep knowledge and leadership earned him the role of Lead Assistant of the Parades Committee. He was known for implementing innovative approaches to improve safety and enhance the overall parade experience.
Dan served as Parades Chairman from 1989 to 1991. During his tenure, he led several major initiatives, including the renovation of the Dazee Bristol float section, overseeing the installation of CFD’s signature street decorations, organizing the Wyoming Centennial Parade featuring President George H. W. Bush as Grand Marshal, and establishing the Carriage Coordinating Committee to help preserve the park’s historic carriages.
Following his chairmanship, Dan and his wife Kay remained active in leadership roles with the Buckle Club, the CFD Old West Museum Board, and the Western Art Show. Dan passed away in 2023, leaving a lasting legacy of dedication and service to Cheyenne Frontier Days™.
Wyoming native Dan Hubbell started taking photos at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ in 1989 when he found that his old college hobby of shooting photos in between bareback rides could come into use as his daughter started her barrel racing career. By 1990, Dan had the Hubbell Rodeo Photo operation running out of a fifth-wheel darkroom, developing photos as soon as they were taken at rodeos across the country. Dan was awarded the PRCA Photographer of the Year award in 2000 and eventually switched to fully digital photography in 2002, after which he realized it was teamwork that would truly make his career happen.
In 2008, Dan started traveling with his wife Linda, living in a fifth-wheel for nine months out of the year. Since then, their teamwork consisted of Dan shooting rodeos during the day and handing Linda his photo card as soon as the show finished. Once the photos were in hand, Linda started her work, downloading the images, editing them, and preparing them for print. Cowboys often gathered around Linda’s table outside the CFD ready-room, getting prints of their recent rides whether from Cheyenne or their last stop on the circuit.
This operation worked smoother than butter, and Hubbell Rodeo Photos have been used in many Cheyenne Frontier Days™ souvenir programs and other publications over the years. Dan even had his own exclusive spot in the arena, right outside of the camera pit near the swinging gate leading to the track, which has turned out to be a great spot; far away from the hustle and bustle behind the chutes and in the photography pit.
Outside of the CFD Arena, Dan’s photographs are known throughout the rodeo world and have been spotlighted many times in PRCA Rodeo Sports News. Through the years, Dan and Linda have also taken
and processed photos of rodeo contestants in Greeley, Colorado; Pendleton, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; Red Bluff, California; Oakdale, California; Clovis, California; Ellensburg, Washington; the College National Finals and the Wrangler National Finals. Dan Hubbell was awarded the PRCA Photographer of the Year award again in 2019 and has been one of two in-arena photographers for the National Finals Rodeo for over 20 years, longer than any recorded photographer. Dan and Linda retired in 2020 after COVID-19 restricted their travels. By that time, they had captured 31 years of Hubbell photography at CFD.

Toby Keith, a beloved American country music icon, had a long-standing and cherished connection with Cheyenne Frontier Days™, performing at the “Daddy of ‘Em All” eight times throughout his successful career in 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018, captivating over 150,000 fans. This enduring presence in Cheyenne ultimately made Toby Keith a staple of CFD in the eyes of many.
Throughout his career, Toby Keith became known not only for his musical talent but for his personal connection to the American spirit and his patriotism, largely shaped by his upbringing as the son of a veteran. This connection resonated deeply with his fans, particularly at events like CFD, where his patriotism and support of the U.S. military were always highlighted. His music, including hits like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” “How Do You Like Me Now,” and “Red Solo Cup,” became anthems for fans in Cheyenne and across the country.
Beyond his massive success with 42 Top 10 hits, 33 No. 1s, over 44 million albums sold and 100 million BMI performances, Keith was also recognized for his songwriting and producing. His career culminated with multiple honors, including induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015, the National Medal of Arts in 2021, and the Country Music Hall of Fame just before his passing in February 2024. Toby Keith’s legacy will forever be intertwined with not only his powerful performances and contributions to American country music and patriotism, but with Cheyenne Frontier Days™ itself, where he memorably performed so much for so many.

Walt started steer wrestling at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ in 1961. By 1964 Walt and his horse Scottie became a team. Scottie, a chestnut gelding, was originally purchased as a hazing horse and moved to steer wrestling in 1965. Harley May won the Cheyenne Steer Wrestling title riding Scottie in 1965 and went on with him to win the World Championship that same year. Walt then rode Scottie in 1966 at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ and won the Steer Wrestling title, earning second in the world standings that year. The next year Walt and Scottie won Cheyenne Frontier Days™ All-Around title and went on to win the 1967 National Finals rodeo steer wrestling average.
In 1971, Scottie carried Jack Roddy to the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Steer Wrestling Title. In the same year, Walt won second in the PRCA world standings in Steer Wrestling. It is estimated that between 7 and 10 steer wrestlers rode Scottie at Cheyenne each year from around 1965-1973. During this 10-year span, Walt and Scottie became acknowledged as the king makers in the world of steer wrestling. Three world championships were won by cowboys riding Scottie.
Scott Walton’s deep connection to the rodeo world began with his father, Allen Walton, founder of the Northern International Livestock Exposition (NILE) Rodeo in Billings, Montana. In the 1970s, Allen hired Cheyenne Frontier Days™ and ProRodeo Hall of Famer Harry Vold as the stock contractor. Scott assisted Vold at NILE and later at the College National Finals Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana, while attending Montana State University. In 1982, Vold invited Scott to join his operation full-time, making this Scott’s first year working at Cheyenne Frontier Days™.
Scott remained with Vold Rodeo Company until 1996, when he accepted a position with ProRodeo Hall of Famer Walt Garrison and CFD Hall of Famer Darrell Barron at Copenhagen & Skoal Tobacco. Serving as Rodeo Supervisor for 13 years, Scott helped manage everything from logistics to operating the scoreboard, “we ran the scoreboard and everything,” he recalled. One of his consistent stops each year during that time was CFD.
In 2010, following federal legislation banning tobacco advertising, Scott partnered with Rick Sallee to form Walton Scoreboards, Inc. The company took over many former Copenhagen & Skoal contracts, including CFD. What began as a basic scoreboard operation displaying only times and scores has since evolved into a dynamic, multimedia experience. Thanks to Scott’s vision and adaptability, modern rodeo fans now enjoy real-time scoring, replays, standings, and contestant bios—features that, as former CFD Rodeo Committee Chairman Chad Mathews remarked, “make every seat in the house a good one.”
Together, Scott and Rick served rodeos across the country, including major events in Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Cheyenne. They have also provided scoring and timing services for the National Finals Rodeo. Scott has worked in some capacity at every CFD rodeo since 1982 and is a proud recipient of the CFD Silver Badge. In 2023, he was honored with the prestigious Donita Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award, presented during the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
The Jim Ward Family’s legacy at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ began in 1974 when J.D. Ward joined the Contestants/Rodeo Committee as a timer at Chute 9. While J.D. served as a timer for over 35 years, little did he know that his commitment would spark a tradition spanning four generations, with over 16 family members contributing their time and passion to the “Daddy of ‘Em All”.
The Ward Family’s four generations of active participation in CFD has been vast and impressive, with different family members being involved as Mounted and Foot Parades Marshals, Parade Color Guard, Rodeo Committee TOEs, Dandies, Miss Frontier, Parades, Volunteers of the Year, Cowboy Bistro volunteers, saddling horses at the AA Barn, hosting the Pendleton Round-Up Queen and Court, serving as Sponsor Host, assisting with Chuckwagon Races, the Stripping Chutes, Behind the Chutes tours, Chuckwagon Cookoffs, and so on.
Jim Ward, a pivotal figure in the family’s CFD journey, began his own involvement in 1977, working in the parade lot by harnessing horses. Eventually, Jim also began helping with the Branding Wagon and the Bomb Squad.
Jim became an Assistant Chairman in 1991, was elected to the HEELs in 1992, and became the Parades Chairman in 1997, where during his term as Chairman he started the Behind the Chutes tours and brought the Chuckwagon Cooking competition to CFD.
Jim served on the CFD Old West Museum’s Board of Directors for nine years and served as its President for two years. Later, as a member of the CFD
Board of Directors, Jim spearheaded fiscal restructuring that significantly boosted the organization’s financial stability. Currently, Jim serves as the President of the CFD Cheyenne Carriage Collection and is coming up on his 48th year as a CFD volunteer in 2025. Ultimately, the Ward Family has served on seven different CFD committees over the last 50 years. Their collective efforts have not only shaped CFD’s history but continue to shape its future, ensuring that the “Daddy of ‘Em All” remains a vibrant celebration of the American West for generations to come.
Billy B. Weeks was born on January 15, 1926, in Abilene, Texas. He hailed from a family deeply rooted in ranching, rodeo, and exceptional horsemanship. His childhood was spent on ranches overseen by his father, where he developed a profound connection with the rodeo lifestyle. At the tender age of six, Billy’s mother allowed him to enter the Steer Riding event at the Abilene Fair Park Arena. After clinching his first victory, Billy’s focus turned solely to rodeoing.
In 1946, encouraged by the esteemed Rodeo Stock Producers, Gretchen and Verne Elliott, Billy joined the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA). His early professional rodeo career was significantly influenced by no-table figures such as Casey Tibbs, Vic Schwartz, and Jack Favor. Billy proved to be a versatile competitor, excelling in Bareback, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding across major rodeos in the United States and Canada. His remarkable achievements include winning the Bareback event at his first Cheyenne Fron-tier Days™ in 1947 and securing the All-Around title at Cheyenne in 1952.
Billy’s contributions to the rodeo community extended beyond compe-tition. He served on the National Finals Rodeo Stock Selection Board for several years. Following his retirement from active competition, Billy transitioned into roles as a Racehorse Trainer, Ranch Foreman, and Rodeo Judge. Notably, he held the position of Timed Event Judge at Cheyenne for an impressive 24 consecutive years. At the time of his untimely passing on January 9, 1988, Billy had resumed his horse training endeavors and was eagerly anticipating his 25th year as the timed event
line judge at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ that July. Billy B. Weeks’ legacy in the rodeo world is encapsulated in his famous saying: “Rodeoing is better than working, even if you don’t win.” His dedication and passion earned him prestigious honors, including induction into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1988, the same year as his passing.

As the sun sets on summer, it makes me think of the beautiful sunsets our campers painted this past August in Western Art Camp. We did our best to replicate Raven Halfmoon’s philosophy of basing art on heritage or traditions with our sculptures, and created coasters using the techniques of Bronwyn Bancroft.The blazing colors used by Joe A Oakes inspired our landscapes, made a geographic piece inspired by Kate Oltmann, and created invitations for our families to come see our art in the style of Charles M. Russell. Whew! We were so busy!
The later part of August found the adults travelling out to the Gross-Wilkinson Ranch in Pine Bluffs. The history dates back to preLaramie County days and was absolutely fascinating!
I look forward to seeing you in the Autumn as we offer many activities such as Art Uncork’d with Joy Keown, Thankful Thursday, Wild West Trunk or Treat, Costume Bingo, and Paranormal Tours of the Museum.
We are proud to share that the 45th Annual Cheyenne Frontier Days™ Western Art Show and Sale was one of the most successful in recent years.
