MAY MONTHLY LUNCHEON, MONDAY, MAY 13, 2024

11:30 am - 1 pm, at LITTLE AMERICA HOTEL, CHEYENNE

GUEST SPEAKER: MIKE KASSEL, Curator, Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum

In the 1940’s, Cheyenne Frontier Days fulfilled an important role as a morale booster for the people of the Rocky Mountain Front Range. Soldiers and civilians alike delighted in the action provided by the cowboys, the ferocious stock, and came together to celebrate America in a time of war. One person who was there and captured the thrill and the color of the events was Byron Hirst, prosecuting attorney for Laramie County. An enthusiast for motion pictures and color film, Hirst captured many memorable images. Join Mike Kassel as he shares these remarkable motion pictures and witness the pride and passion of Cheyenne Frontier Days during World War Two. Mike is presenting this program of CFD in the 1940’s in honoree of Laurel Fogg, our 2024 Cowgirl Honoree! Many of you may have family & friends who were active in the CFD Rodeo world during the 1940’s. Do invite your family & friends to come to this program, and please make your reservations early!
