Interview With Fair Ambassadors

Old Cheyenne Buildings, New Purpose

Wyoming owner of TJoe's Restaurant and all-around entrepreneur Sherrie Lyle purchased some old buildings on the west side of downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming.

There is an opportunity to transform these once grand and now forgotten structures into a new business area.
