Held every year toward the end of July, Cheyenne Frontier Days is the largest outdoor rodeo in the world. When you visit the rodeo, you’ll find 10 days of great food, fun rides, and plenty of excitement. Learn more about the history of Cheyenne Frontier Days and discover what you can expect this year.
History of Cheyenne Frontier Days
Cheyenne Frontier Days started in 1897 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Events for that first rodeo were exhibitions that tested a cowboy’s skill, including bronco busting, pony races, and steer roping. The first rodeo was so successful it expanded to two days and added a parade the following year. As the years went on and the rodeo continued to grow in popularity, more events were added. Today Cheyenne Frontier Days is a 10-day event that’s held at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Arena and throughout Cheyenne and draws an estimated 200,000 people every year.
Every Jeep SUV has the DNA of the original Willys off-road vehicle. However, the most direct descendant of that World War II vehicle is the Wrangler. The all-new 2018 Wrangler handles mountain roads, straight highways, rocky trails, and low rivers with ease, making it a great choice for any Wyoming resident.
Stick to Winding Mountains
The mountain roads in Wyoming can be surprisingly steep and winding, making them a challenge to drive on a dry summer day and almost impossible when it snows in winter. However, the Wrangler has several features to make those tough mountain drives easier. First, every Wrangler comes with a 4×4 drivetrain standard, and the Selec-Trac System can automatically switch to four-wheel drive when the road conditions demand it. You also have Hill Descent Control, a feature that automatically controls your speed when you’re going downhill so that you can concentrate on steering.
Guernsey State Park isn’t the biggest park in Wyoming, but it offers beautiful views and interesting historical sites.

Guernsey isn’t an international attraction like Yellowstone up in the northwest part of the state, but you can find plenty of things to do if you want to spend a day or a weekend at the park.
Enjoy the Lake
Guernsey State Park surrounds the Guernsey Reservoir. This reservoir came into being in 1927, the year the North Platte River Dam started operation. It’s one of several artificial reservoirs in southeast Wyoming and residents from all over can come by to enjoy one of the few open bodies of water in the area. Guernsey State Park allows all kinds of boats into the water, so long as the water level is high enough to reach the boat launches. They also have two beach areas by the Sandy Beach Campground.
Bob Ruwart Motors – Meet the New 2018 Buick Enclave
For 2018, Buick has completely redesigned its midsize crossover, the Enclave. This gives SUV buyers a new, upscale alternative to the regular midsize crossovers, with a roomy interior, high-quality materials, good fuel economy for the class, and an impressive list of features. If you want a three-row crossover that’s a cut above the rest, here is what the new Enclave has to offer.
The Spacious Interior
The new 2018 Enclave has room for seven passengers. The 2017 model had room for eight, but the reason the 2018 model has fewer seats is because the second row now comes standard with bucket seats. This means more room for your passengers, plus the power-folding second-row seats are easy to move forward so you can reach the back row. As for the cargo space, you can get up to 97.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down and the convenience of a standard hands-free power liftgate.
