Dear Friends,
Summer is here and it is go time! You can feel the excitement building as we are getting closer to Cheyenne Frontier Days™! We are very excited to share the newly remodeled Hall of Fame gallery, the Lane Frost Documentary, the prestigious 44th Annual CFD Western Art Show, and our rich history and culture with thousands of visitors. There will be something for everyone to enjoy.
I have attended Cheyenne Frontier Days™ numerous times, but have never been on the other side of the fence. As a visitor you take for granted all of the hard work that produces an amazing show. Thank you to every single person that contributes to make this a success. It takes a full team with all of the activities happening within the Museum and of course within Cheyenne Frontier Days™.
The Museum is thrilled to bring a once in a lifetime event to Cheyenne. We will be showing the Lane Frost Documentary: LANE - LIFE | LEGEND | LEGACY on July 20 at the Cheyenne Civic Center. We strongly encourage you to get your tickets now to be included in this piece of history. The filmmakers have been premiering this documentary across the country on the road to Cheyenne! Part of the proceeds will benefit the Museum.
Make sure to also stop by the Museum and see the special Lane Frost exhibit that will be showcased during Cheyenne Frontier Days™ commemorating the 35th year of his tragic passing in Cheyenne.
I enjoy chatting with visitors who stop in the Museum. Almost all of them are seeking a slice of our western heritage and legends including Lane Frost and Chris LeDoux. We are able to share this experience with people 365 days of the year. Our visitors travel from all over the United States and include a large number of international visitors. It is our honor to share our rich history.
And you can’t miss our new Hall of Fame exhibit showcasing some amazing cowgirls that have made a huge impact to not only Cheyenne Frontier Days™, but the western lifestyle and our community.

education gets a refresh
Jean Krause
The freshly refinished Hole in the Wall Children’s Room welcomed Elementary School campers for a week about Pioneers. We had fun deciding what we would pack in a wagon, mapping out our roots, making games that pioneer children used and using STEM skills to create a ‘soddie’. In addition, we had guests who taught us how to pan gold, keep bees, and the history of Mountain Men. We made crafts to go along with the lessons and culminated the week with a field trip to learn about archery and practice shooting bullseyes. It was a full and rewarding week! Thank you to BLUE FCU for all your support!
A special THANK YOU to Stovepipe for our beautiful mural! We are so grateful for all that you do for us. Don’t forget to join us for Western Art Camp August 1216.

Thank you to all of the volunteers that joined us for the Volunteer Trip in June! This year we ventured to Laramie and visited the University of Wyoming Geological Museum and Wyoming Women’s History House.
At the Geological Museum, the volunteers had an in depth guided tour learning all about the dinosaur era, what Wyoming was like back in the day, and how animals evolved into what we see today.
Next was a beautiful lunch in Washington Park followed by a guided tour of the Wyoming Women’s History House in downtown Laramie. The Wyoming Women’s History House greets visitors with a beautiful bronze of Louisa Swain, the first woman in Wyoming to cast a ballot. Inside, the Wyoming historic women that led the way are showcased including the pioneering women, historic firsts, and more. All were impressed how these ordinary women achieved extraordinary things that made a huge impact!
To finish the trip, volunteers had the chance to pick a sweet treat from Sugar Mouse next door.
A big thank you to Sue Miller and Jean Krause for organizing the trip. And thank you to Cheyenne Street Railway for the bus transporting everyone in style.
This is just one small way to thank each of our amazing volunteers that donate their time to the Old West Museum. I was glad I could tag along for this wonderful trip and get to know more of the volunteers that ensure the museum runs smoothly!

The Road to Cheyenne
Honoring 35 Years
Three years ago, the Old West Museum welcomed two young and eager cinematographers, Brad Hughes and James Trawick, who were on a mission to capture every essence of Lane Frost. On a fateful morning, they met Linda Farner, a dedicated volunteer at the admission desk, who revealed an extraordinary connection to Lane Frost. Linda had been a nurse at the hospital on July 30, 1989, the day Lane was rushed to the emergency room after his tragic injury at the Cheyenne Frontier Days™ arena.
Seizing the moment, Brad and James conducted an impromptu interview with Linda, who shared her vivid memories and heartfelt reflections of that unforgettable day. Her poignant account struck a chord and became a powerful segment in the final cut of the documentary.
Adding to the film’s depth, Dr. Skip Ross, an attending physician in the arena on that day, recounts the heroic efforts of the medical team as they raced to save Lane’s life. His emotional and compelling story continues to resonate deeply with rodeo enthusiasts.
These incredible stories, along with many others, bring compelling layers to the film, offering a unique and personal perspective on Lane Frost’s enduring legacy. Even 35 years after his passing, Lane’s impact on rodeo, bull riding, and Western culture remains profound.
In addition, the Museum is honoring Lane with a special exhibit of artifacts never before seen as a collection. This exhibit
lonnie reese
provides an intimate look at Lane’s life and career, showcasing personal items and memorabilia that highlight his journey and influence.
We invite you to join us for a special screening of the Lane Frost Documentary on July 20th at the Cheyenne Civic Center. Be there to honor 35 years of Lane’s legacy with Dr. Skip Ross and his colleagues from the Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies. Don’t miss this extraordinary event celebrating the life and lasting influence of a rodeo legend.
THANK YOU To Our Sponsors
“As storytellers we are deeply honored to be trusted with producing a documentary over the late Lane Frost. Our passion for creating quality entertainment for Western culture is rooted in the desire to see our beloved community grow and prosper for years to come. The story and legacy left by Lane and continued through his family has profoundly impacted us as film-makers, businessmen, and most importantly Christians, to explore the question of; how has Lane’s life and death created an ongoing legacy that continues to positively impact the sport of rodeo, Western Culture and beyond? Many people know the story told by the major motion picture, 8 Seconds, but what a lot of people don’t know, and through close contact with his family and this community we have been able to learn over the post several years, is the origin of this legend and the fabric of his character that left a legacy. Through the perspective of several voices we dive deep into the years of relationships that shaped the person that we all knew and loved and how he left a lasting impact on this culture.”

CFD Hall of Fame Gets a New Space
Welcome back to the Exhibits Corner, your ultimate guide to everything occurring within our lively Museum. I am delighted to share the latest updates, highlighting the creativity and ingenuity that make our Museum so exciting.
First on the agenda is the overhauled Hall of Fame (HoF) exhibit. The staff and I have been planning and executing our ideas with the help from some outside HoF members for the past year. We are extremely excited to have our hard work finally come to light - be sure to come check it out! One can expect to see a total transformation of the rotunda space as the Don and Arlene Kensinger Hall of Fame gallery0. The exhibit takes up 3/4 of the room and will feature seven legacy HoF members. This year, since CFD is celebrating the year of the cowgirl, we will be featuring Margaret Boice, Mary Elizabeth Carpender, Dazee Bristol, Louise Cole, Shirley Holmes-Churchill,
Brad Jorgensen
Marietta Dineen, and Bertha Kaepernick. Additionally, the upcoming class of 2024 inductees will also be featured in the Rotunda. Look for the 2024 class to be put up slowly between now and our HoF ceremony in early September! Finally, the HoF website revamp is estimated to be completed ahead of schedule and will be live around August 1st! The website has been an unexpectedly timeconsuming task, but I am excited to see how everyone likes the feel and look of the new HoF website. Visitors will finally be able to view every single past Hall of Fame inductee, their photos, and biographies in one place.
Secondly, I would like to talk about the Summer Art Show. As most of you are already aware, the art show opens on the 18th of July starting at 3:00pm. The last two years we set new sales records and are hoping to do that once again this year. To aid in this endeavor Amanda,
Curtis, Mike, and I have been working hard to improve our already extremely impressive gallery. This year we have accepted 5 pieces of art that exceed the size limit that was set for art pieces entering the show before our first ever art show in 1981. To accomplish this the team has been hard at work figuring out how we could display and store these pieces. We are extremely excited to see how everyone receives our larger-thanlife pieces this year. In addition, we will be painting the stage a new color, tweaking the layout, and experimenting with how we display bronzes. We hope that all of these changes will result in providing our visitors with the best art show this museum has ever seen. We hope to see you all there on July 18th for our 44th Annual CFD Western Art Show & Sale.
The Year of the Cowgirl
In 2024, Cheyenne Frontier Days™ made the excellent decision to honor the cowgirl and her long and storied history with our event. As you may already be aware, preparations to include special attention to the contribution of women has been put at the forefront of CFD’s preparations with efforts made in social media, the programs and announcements in the arena. On June 28, the grounds of CFD were permanently beautified with the addition of the monumental bronze How ‘Bout Them Cowgirls by D. Michael Thomas as a permanent testament to women, past and present, who contribute to our glorious western heritage.
Thinking about the role of women at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ exactly 100 years ago in the minds of the citizens of our city, they were immersed in what is now known as the “Golden Age of the Cowgirl” and they eagerly awaited their appearance during the 1924 show. The editors of the Wyoming State Tribune/Cheyenne Daily Leader went all out expressing their appreciation of the numbers of women about to make their appearance and dedicated an article to them, along with show updates, in the week prior to show. Let them speak for themselves:
July 17, 1924
MiKe Kassel
“Female of Species To Meet Male Without Asking Odds”
Beautiful Busters and Ropers in Gorgeous Costumes to Give Crowds Something to Fill Its Eyes
“Behold the cowgirl! Solomon in all his glory, or old King Tut in his gorgeous tomb, was not arrayed as one of these. A Zeigfeld chorus person, common rumor has it, is a sight to soothe ophthalmic irritation, but she has nothing on the female of the cowhand species – nothing whatsoever. She is, in fact, a ‘four gallon’ hat short of being in the cowgirl’s class when it come sot be all dressed up and having some place to go.”
“Time was when the cowgirl was not a gorgeous spectacle. Take, for example, Bertha Kapernick, the original of the type. There was nothing spectacular about Bertha except her riding. She affected divided skirts and preferred neutral colors. When she came up from somewhere in the wilds of Colorado a score of years ago and made a Frontier Days crowd sit up and take notice of the hitherto unsuspected fact that a woman might ride an outlaw bronco as well as any man, there was nothing gladsome in her appearance. She was just a big strong ranch girl, able to keep on the hurricane deck of a bucking horse but diffident concerning proving it before a crowd. In her drab costume she blended perfectly with the busters out in the arena. (that was before the days when the cowboys, also ran to high colors), and unless you noticed her divided skirt you didn’t observe there was a woman in the bunch.
Bertha could ride – you bet she could ride! – and she let it go at that. Not so the cowgirls of today. They can ride, some of them as well as Bertha could ride, but they don’t let it go at that – not by all the colors of the spectrum, they don’t. The cowgirl of today is more than a mere rider – she is a vision. She’ll not blend in with the boys in the arena at Cheyenne’s Frontier Days celebration that is to open next Tuesday. Far from it –much farther from it than that. She’ll be, to the contrary, as conspicuous among them as blazing Sirius is among the stars. She dresses, nowadays, to catch the eye. She catches it.
Collections
“You never saw a prettier or daintier ‘rig’ than that of Mabel Strickland, present champion allaround cowgirl, when she’s dressed for action with the broncs and steers. Bonnie Gray, Mabel’s rival for ‘wild west’ laurels, has a perfect ‘ducky’ of an outfit. Lorena Trickey, former champion sure fills the vision when she gets into her arena clothes. Ruth Roach’s costume is a dream. Florence Fenten’s is another. You don’t think of Bertha Kapernick when Opal Crowder, or Donna Card Glover or Fox Hastings or Rose Smith canters into the arena.
“Clothes! You tell ‘em, cowboy!
“’Beauty and the Beast’ will be matched at Cheyenne during Frontier Days. Cowgirls as pretty as pictures will ride outlaw bronchos with dispositions as ugly as sin.
“One of the most spectacular features of the ‘wild west’ sports of the Wyoming capital’s famous festival will be the women’s broncho busting championship contest. The best female ‘busters the range country has produced will mount the meanest buckers at Frontier park, which means, of course, the meanest in existence, and will ride ‘em high, wide and handsome in competition for a purse of $500, a trip to the Hawaiian Islands, old King Kalakaua’s gold-mounted spurs and divers and sundry other emoluments.
“The cowgirls will be a big part of the Frontier Days show. They will compete in several varieties of wild west sports other than broncho busting, including relay racing, trick and fancy riding, steer roping and trick and fancy roping. Also they will ride in several races open to women only, and some of them will be entered in the other races, in which they will ask no odds of the men riders.
“The colorful costumes of the cowgirls add much to the picturesque Cheyenne festival. The cowboys have a weakness for high colors in shirts, chaps, etc., and frequently are gaudy, but the cowgirls, all of them, are gorgeous. And when it comes to hats-well, when it comes to hats you have to see the cowgirls to appreciate the meaning of ‘seven gallons.’
“The female of the species will ask no odds of the male at Frontier. There will be special events for the cowgirls, including their own broncho busting contest for the female championship, relay races, cow pony races, but the ladies will not confine themselves to these. They are ambitious to establish that a woman is as good as a man and several of them, therefore, have entered the general contests, including the world’s championship steer roping contest, the
most spectacular and more dangerous of all ‘wild west’ sports.
“Rivalry among the cowgirls is keen for the ‘all around’ championship. Whoever wins that will be given a three-weeks tour of the Hawaiian Islands as a guest of the Honolulu Tourist bureau and will receive a pair of gold-mounted spurs that were the pride of a former ruler of Hawaii, King Kalakaua. The ‘all around’ championship will be awarded for the best standing, on a point basis, in the broncho busting, fancy roping, fancy riding and relay racing events.
“The steamship ‘Menominee,’ carrying cowboys and cowgirls who competed in the ‘wild west show’ of the British Empire exposition in London, docked at New York Friday and as soon thereafter as possible the fifty ‘top hands’ aboard landed and started for Cheyenne on a special train.
Collections
This train, according to information received by O.H. Stapleton, Union Pacific ticket agent here, should reach Cheyenne Sunday night or Monday morning. The cowboys and cowgirls aboard it have made Frontier Days championship contest entries by telegraph. Eddie McCarthy and wife and Verne Elliot and wife, who were with the Westerners in England, returned on an earlier boat and now are en route to Cheyenne by regular train. They will arrive Sunday morning.
“The Union Pacific railroad company, as has been its custom for a number of years, next week will have Pullman cars parked in the Cheyenne yards, available for use by Frontier Days visitors. Reservations in these cars may be made at the Chamber of Commerce and the Union Pacific ticket office.
“The Frontier committee Friday again emphasized the advisability of Cheyenneites making their Frontier park reservations without further delay. The demand for seats is very great and persons who do not make reservations now will have to be content with what the box office may have left when the big rush sets in next Monday.”
As the 28th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ got underway, it was obvious that there was going to be a real contest between two women for the title, Mabel Strickland and Lorena Trickey. While the papers initially favored Strickland, the 1923 champion for the win, Trickey was a tough competitor who had taken the championship twice before in 1920 and 1921. From the outset, things seemed to be going Strickland’s way. On the first day of CFD Mabel put on a dazzling performance in steer roping. Her time came within nine seconds of beating the world’s record, beating the times of nine of the male contestants in the official competition. Only Cliff King beat her time, coming within two seconds of a new record. Public opinion was manifest that it was wrong that Strickland wasn’t able to compete alongside the men, and make a real contest out of it.
Lorena Trickey was at a serious disadvantage in the contest. Six weeks prior to CFD, she had been trick riding back east when her horse hit a fence. She broke seven ribs in the accident and hadn’t yet recovered. She faced Strickland and the other women in the bronco busting contest, even though she was warned not to participate. She did so anyways atop Sixty-nine Brownie and wasn’t thrown. None of the women were, doing better than the field of men.
Lorena’s bucking wasn’t great, but her races were spectacular. In front of a dazzled crowd, she dominated the Denver Post Ladies Relay Race and later in the Roman standing race, beating all her male competitors.
On the next day, Strickland gained early accolades again for her steer roping: “Her work was beautiful, the loop sailing through the air and settling down on the steer’s horns, then the steer was upset and Mabel was on him with her tying rope instantly and before the steer had time to know what it was all about, he was hog-tied.”
Lorena Trickey wasn’t out of the running, claiming victory again in the Ladies Relay Race and the Roman Race, though she struggled at the end to keep a foot on both of her horses as she crossed the finish line.
On the third day, the question of who would be the cowgirl champion was a toss-up. In the Ladies Relay Race, Trickey led two changes but rushed her third change, fumbling the attempt. By the time she regained her balance, she was four horse-lengths behind Strickland who won the day. Strickland, however, didn’t have as great of a performance roping as she had previously. Her third contest was upset by a stubborn steer
Collections
who got up twice before she could time him. She finally brought him down on her third attempt but her time came in at 56 2/5 seconds, which was remarkable considering her difficulty. Trickey had better luck with her third Roman Race, in which she dominated again.
Even so, Lorena Trickey’s aspects of the championship were not looking good. Kept from entering many of the contests because of her condition, she was resigned to face her fate. “Miss Trickey says she would have given almost anything to have been in condition to enter the cowgirl’s all-around championship this year. The Honolulu trip and the king’s spurs were certainly some inducement, she says, but when you can’t, you can’t and that’s all there is to it. Her physical condition renders some efforts impossible here. Miss Trickey’s hope is that the jinx that has been following her be shooed off forever. She is tired of getting crippled just before the Frontier Days celebration.”
On the last day, when the dust had settled, the new CFD Cowgirl Champion of the World was announced. Lorena Trickey was the cowgirl queen. The newspapers were quick to recount how this remarkable victory had occurred:
“Lorena Trickey, by piling up an unofficial score of 47 points won a decisive victory over Mabel Strickland, who had only 26 points to her credit at the conclusion of the show. Trickey gets the trip to Hawaii. Miss Trickey’s only comment on her victory was: ‘Well, I worked hard for it.’ She received more applause than any other person performing at the show.”
Later, the paper continued:
“Lorena Trickey was the outstanding star again. Her riding was marvelous. She rode to three victories in the day. In the Denver Post loving cup relay, she won the third first place which gave her the cup. Her other place in the four heats was as second. Mabel Strickland, who won one first, had three seconds to her credit.
The writers obviously had to give Mabel Strickland some due credit for her remarkable performances as well:
“Mabel Strickland’s best time on two steers averaged 27 2/5 seconds which placed her above the two men who were tied for third place in the championship. Their time was 27 ½ seconds.
“Lorena Trickey also won the Cowgirls Half-mile race, with Mabel Strickland coming in second. Donna Glover third.”
The contest between the cowgirls in 1924 is a
testament to their skill and toughness during the Golden Age of the Cowgirl. We now stand, a hundred years later, looking back at the glorious path that these women, and the many more who followed them, blazed. There were many more records to be set, and many new ceilings to be broken, and more yet to come. The Year of the Cowgirl, 2024 is a great vantage point to see where the women of CFD will go next as they ride towards the next horizon, the return of great Golden Age of the Cowgirl.

the roaring success of “Murder in the roaring 20s”
aManda Marshall
It was a night of glitz, glamor, and gags as the Old West Museum hosted “Murder in the Roaring 20’s.” Held at the Red Lion Hotel and Conference Center, this Murder Mystery Dinner transported guests back to the opulent era of flappers, jazz, and clandestine speakeasies.
The evening’s storyline revolved around the mysterious death of notable gangster “Tough” Tony Bosco. What truly set “Murder in the Roaring 20’s” apart was the blend of mystery and humor. The cast of characters was a delightful array of eccentric personalities, from the bumbling magician to the flirty flapper. The other star of the show? Our audience! We had several participants who at times stole the show (B-minus anyone?) We want to thank everyone who came out to this fun and laughter-filled event.
calling all volunteers
Tighten up your cinch, get your boots in them stirrups and move your Copenhagen can to your front pocket, cause this is gonna be a long ride partner! We gotta jaw a spell! It is time to round up our volunteers. Heck, like any good cowboy, I guess we all got a little too comfortable sitting in our rockers and enjoying the view, but taking a look around recently, well, the tumbleweeds are piling up at the fenceposts and the coffers are getting pretty lean! Time fer this crew to saddle up and get to work!
I figure that the best way for us volunteers to get this ol’ ranch working right is to embrace our cowboy culture and work this system in the way we know best, like the ranch hands we love. So I thought we should embrace that and kinda break us all up into groups to whip the ol’ ranch back into shape. So, what am I talking about? Well, as you all know, a ranch is run by ranch hands. But not all ranch hands do the same jobs. You got your Wranglers, your Herd Riders, Rough Stock, Branders, Ranchers, and even Fence Riders. Saying everybody at Cheyenne Frontier Days™ is a cowboy is fine, but you don’t put a Bulldogger on a Bareback any more than you put a Wild Horse Racer in a Calf Roping Competition! So, saying you’re a Volunteer and not having a job description kinda falls into that same category, and I think that’s been part of our problem!
Over the next couple of weeks and months we’re gonna be reaching out for all of you and figuring out what kinda job you wanna do at our ol’ ranch here. Now don’t you
worry, we ain’t gonna pigeonhole nobody. If you wanna try something and it don’t work out, you can jump on something else. And we’re gonna hold some training sessions too. There’s gonna be some training sessions, some meetings, and most important, communication!
Our Old West Museum Staff has not only been working all day at the Museum, but they been picking up the slack and running the fund-raising events in the evenings and weekends too, and folks, that’s a bit embarrassing! That’s OUR JOB! And THAT is exactly what I am talking about! We are the driving force on this ranch, and I for one want my ranch to be the best one on the range, don’t you? It’s time for us ol’ cowpokes to saddle up and take charge of OUR ranch and show these folks just what we can do when we take a mind to! We done grew lazy folks. Now like I said, I ain’t blaming nobody. We all get guilty of getting too comfortable in our rockers, but…I do long for a good ride. The feeling of accomplishment when we pull off a good one! You ready for a round up?
Consider this your Cattle Call folks. Oil up your leathers, tighten up riggin’ and let’s get ready to ride. The Volunteer Posse is about to get back into action, and we are counting on you to be there! If intersted in volunteering, get ahold of the Museum at 307-778-7243.
See you soon,

Linda Renaud is a second-career artist. She was getting serious about painting full time when a bout with breast cancer did two things: she became the “artist-in-residence” on the chemo ward, and it made her serious about being an artist.
Daniel Hachard is an American artist born in France in the 1950s. Growing up in Paris, he was influenced by major art movements, New Wave cinema, and Western classics. His style is rooted in the popular comics of the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by an illustrative approach with unblended colors and the graphic codes of both comics and mid-century pop art. By combining these elements with the aesthetics of the advertising era, he creates a unique visual vocabulary and narrative for popular Western themes.
Hachard is a member of the Studio Channel Islands and the Ojai Art Center in Ventura County, California. He has lectured at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and is an alumnus of the Art Directors Club of Los Angeles and the Design Management Institute.

Of course, boots, chaps, and cowboy hats draw you to Cheyenne, Wyoming. For more than 125 years, the Best Historic Rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days, has celebrated western roots with a festival unlike any other. There is more to this western town. This is where the Wild West lifestyle you yearn for meets a sophisticated, thriving city. You can still wander the streets that wranglers and outlaws once roamed. Now, you can savor artfully crafted cuisine and elevated spirits from inside historic 1800s buildings skillfully transformed into upscale restaurants and flashy cocktail lounges.
Live the legend in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Start planning today.
