Cheyenne DKG Used Book Sale Starts This Weekend

The annual Delta Kappa Gamma used book sale will happen this weekend and again next weekend at the former JoAnne Fabrics location in the Cheyenne Frontier Mall.

The event is a long-time Cheyenne tradition, raising money for educational organizations.

It's been held every year since 1983 except for 2021 during the COVID pandemic. Typically it's an early March event, held at various locations around Cheyenne, ranging from schools to the locations of closed businesses, among others. This year it was slightly delayed by flooding at the JoAnne Fabrics location.

The Cheyenne JoAnne store closed last year as the chain closed hundreds of stores across the country.
