Cheyenne
Gunslingers.
Unfortunately, this 'show' is only put on during June and July - but, if
you might be coming through here during those months, it is an annual
event. A very, family-oriented affair (no embarrassing language of fake
blood, etc., it is a loose portrayal (exaggerated, of course) of a series
of Old West situations: jail break, hanging (but he doesn't get hanged)
and a fast-draw shoot-out. It is a lot of fun for both the children and
the adults. For more information, stop by the Old-West Soda Bar at 203 w
17th Street (at Capital Street). The gun fights, etc., are put on in the
Old Town Square, a block from the Soda Bar (US-30 - which is Lincolnway -
and Carey Avenue). They have a very different web site at:
GunSlingers.

Trolley Tour.
If you have time to take about a two hour break from driving, stop by the
Cheyenne Visitors Center (309 W Lincolnway - which is US-30) and buy
tickets ($8 for the big guys and $4 for kids) and get a fun tour, fully
narrated, of town. For specifics, phone the Visitors Bureau (toll-free) at
1-800-426-5009.
Cowgirls of the
West. Perhaps this is cheating - we haven't been there (in fact we
only found out about it on the Internet). This is a brand new museum
dedicated to the achievements of women in the West. No, they weren't all
'cowgirls' but the 'Cowgirls' web site makes the place seem very
intriguing. We'd like to hear from anyone who has visited the place at 218
West 17th Street (right near the Gun-Slingers place). Visit:
Cowgirls.
