CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days set records for rodeo and concert ticket sales. The 10-day rodeo and Western culture festival ended Sunday with a little over 267,000 rodeo and concert tickets sold.

KGAB Radio reports that's up 14% compared to 2019. The 2020 event was canceled because of the coronavirus. Both Saturday rodeos and two concerts headlined by Garth Brooks and Blake Shelton sold out.
