"So far, it has been business as usual," Public Information Officer Alex Farkas told KGAB Radio. The ordinance permits the possession of open malt beverage and wine containers within the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) district boundaries every year between the Thursday before Memorial Day and Labor Day. During this time frame, open containers are allowed every day between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. in public spaces. Some KGAB listeners and Facebook followers, especially those with young children, have expressed concerns about public drinking during the Cheyenne Frontier Dayspancake breakfasts and parades. "Aren't these supposed to be family-friendly events," questioned one parent. "How is this a good thing for the kids?"
