During a recent government meeting, community members discussed the potential creation of a statue honoring Steamboat, a beloved horse known for its historical significance in Cheyenne. A local resident proposed the idea, suggesting that a statue could serve as a tribute to the horse's legacy, which includes a romanticized narrative of its burial overlooking the city. The resident expressed a desire to be involved in organizing the project, despite financial constraints.

City officials acknowledged the proposal, noting that previous statues in the area have been funded through donations rather than city funds. The estimated cost for the Steamboat statue is projected to be between $35,000 and $40,000. Mayor Collins encouraged the community to contribute, suggesting the establishment of a dedicated fund for the statue.

In addition to the statue discussion, the meeting highlighted upcoming community events. Council member Dr. Aldridge reminded residents of a \"Council and Coffee\" event scheduled for Saturday, inviting public participation to discuss local concerns. Council member Layborn announced a cleanup initiative for the downtown parade route, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the city’s appearance during community events.

The meeting underscored the community's commitment to honoring local history and improving public spaces, while also fostering engagement among residents.
