    Hazy, but not lazy…the weekend is packed with events in Fremont County!

    So much to do, so little time! I don’t know about you, but the calendars are starting to get way packed. There are so many fun events and activities in the works for the upcoming summer months, I think I’ll need a clone! Looks like there’s a lot going on in Riverton and “out yonder” this weekend, but there’s also a huge event going on in Lander with the Wyoming Outdoor Weekend & Expo.

    Don’t forget your farmers’ markets are now open-air! The Riverton Saturday market is now in the city parking lot at 816 N. Federal Blvd from 9:00-11:00 a.m., and the Lander Local Food market is in Centennial Park on 209 Main Street from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon.

    Play local, shop local, eat local…be safe, and have fun this weekend in Fremont County!
