Showing Our Appreciation to Downtown Owners

The Cheyenne Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is proud to sponsor the Thanks for the Memories indoor concert series and provide VIP ticket giveaways for downtown business and property owners. This initiative helps recognize and connect with the Downtown Cheyenne business community while encouraging continued engagement throughout the district.

Over the coming months, downtown business and property owners will have opportunities to win VIP tickets to performances including Rose Royce, The Lead Singers of Rock, Shwayze, The Takes with Jared Strayer, WAR, and Chamillionaire.
