Brody Cress Makes History at the 122nd Cheyenne Frontier Days
July 30, 2018
It’s been 86 years since a saddle bronc rider won back-to-back championships at Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD), but local favorite Brody Cress was not intimidated by history.
The 22-year-old from nearby Hillsdale won his hometown rodeo in 2017, an accomplishment that fueled the rest of his season and helped him win his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo championship last December. Cress is sponsored by CFD and proudly wears the legendary rodeo’s iconic arrowhead logo on his chaps and his shirts. “There’s no other rodeo I’d want to represent,” he said.

Cheyenne Frontier Days – 122 years and still going strong
July 29, 2018
When an agent of the Union Pacific Railroad suggested Cheyenne have a festival to the editor of the newspaper in 1897, they had no idea of the legendary event that it would grow into.
With less than ideal weather during several of the 10-days of activities, attendance at this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) was beyond what might have been expected. The loyalty of fans is very gratifying for the nearly 3,000 volunteers who work year-round for the “Daddy of ‘em All.”

Cowboys to Watch – July 27, Seventh Performance
July 27, 2018
Tim O’Connell and Shane O’Connell are friends, traveling partners and no relation. The bareback riders along with the third member of their crew Logan Corbett will make their first appearance here today. Tim has won world titles the past two years, won his first Cheyenne buckle in 2017 and is currently leading the world standings. Shane is in 10th and Corbett is 17th. Nothing would make these three happier than to all qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) together.

July 25, 2018
Rough Stock Events – Bareback, Saddle Bronc and Bull Riding:
Kaycee Field has been touted as one of the greatest bareback riders of all time and has the resume to prove it. However, even with four world championships and eight Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) qualifications, Feild has yet to add Cheyenne Frontier Days to his list of career wins. He is the son of late Pro Rodeo Hall of Famer, Lewis Feild, who was a five-time PRCA world champion that never earned a Cheyenne buckle.

Cowboys to Watch – July 24, Fourth Performance
July 24, 2018
Three-time world champion bareback rider Will Lowe is no stranger to Cheyenne Frontier Day’s famous belt buckles. A CFD champion in 2009 and 2012, Lowe took the lead in the first round with an 86.5-point ride on Hi Lo ProRodeo’s Pretty Woman. He will be matched with Brookman Rodeo’s Cop a Feel where he will be going for broke to place in the average. Hot on his trail, Ranchester, Wyoming’s Seth Lee Hardwick is placing in the first round with his 85.5-point ride and has drawn Rocky Mountain Rodeo’s Good Times. Hardwick qualified for the 2015 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR), where he won money in seven rounds. Bareback bronc riding is the most physically demanding event in rodeo. Following the WNFR, he had hip surgery and missed the entire 2016 season. He came back and finished in 23rd last year. Neither Lowe or Hardwick are among the top 20 in the world standings, so the rest of the season depends on their success at Frontier Park.
