CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Cheyenne Frontier Days has closed Frontier Park to the public on non-event days after graffiti popped up around the park in two separate instances.The first case of vandalism occurred early Halloween morning. Graffiti was painted throughout the west grandstand of the park’s main arena. Some of the graffiti was benign: images of smiley faces, an ice cream cone, and a large face of a cat. Other images, however, included racist language, profanity and swastikas.
The thousands of dollars of damage from the two separate instances is something that is going to have to come out of the Frontier Days budget.“This is leased ground from the city,” Contos said. “In Wyoming, it’s considered private property if it's leased property. Cheyenne Frontier Days is responsible for all that, including public safety.”They say the main reason for closing the park is to keep people safe.
