It's 7:13 am on Friday, 21 July 2017.
In just 4 more hours, Cheyenne Frontier Days 2017 will officially open.
For the next 10 days, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle will be publishing a supplement called Frontier Daily, which will feature articles and interviews with CFD participants, as well as a calendar of events.
They also publish a poster each day (printed on regular newspaper paper). The first one, published today, features a woman barrel racer.
"Lassoed by the Lens," is the title of the poster, which features Fallon Taylor of Collinsville, Texas in a photo taken by Blaine McCartney of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
These posters make inexpensive souvenirs of the event.
