Cheyenne Frontier Days Nostalgia with Diane Shober and Tom Hirsig

The rich tradition of Cheyenne Frontier Days revolves around its stories—and what better way to celebrate them than by sharing those stories with you? 

In our inaugural episode, you’ll travel down memory lane with Diane Shober, Executive Director of the Wyoming Office of Tourism, and our own Tom Hirsig, Cheyenne Frontier Days President and CEO, as they share: 

• The “fluke” that led to the very first Cheyenne Frontier Days, all the way back in 1897 
• Tom’s earliest CFD memories, including seeing the cast of “Gunsmoke” on stage
• What makes our volunteers, and the experience of volunteering, something you won’t experience anywhere else 
• Which CFD keepsake “every cowboy knows” and can recognize across the room
• Why Tom still chokes up when talking about his final competition in our arena
• Ways you’ll see us stay on the cutting edge while still keeping our strong Western Heritage at the forefront
