CHEYENNE, WY
AREA ATTRACTIONS

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.
