It’s Fair Time in Fremont County! Time to browse around the fairgrounds and eat all those forbidden foods…like cotton candy, hot dogs, corn dogs, deep-fried whatever, etc. What exactly does “Goin’ Hog Wild” mean? Hey…whatever you want it to mean! It’s Fair Week!
There’s always plenty to do every weekend in “The County,” but nothing brings our communities together like a county fair! So come on out and celebrate what makes us who we are, support our local cowboys, farmers, and ranchers, and show this great State of Wyoming what Fremont County is all about!
But wait, there’s more! There’s a main street cruise, a movie night, a ghost story or two…and a coolio Brewfest going on, too! Check it out…
On Friday…
Riverton kicks off Fair Week with a Friday Night Cruise! Meet at Sutherland’s at 5:30 p.m.; roll out is 6 p.m.! Motorcycles, tractors, trucks, trailers, semis…bring ‘em all! After goin’ wild on Main Street, there will be a Beer Garden and a FREE BBQ at the Fairgrounds! Brought to you by the Friends of the Fremont County Fair. Donations are greatly appreciated!
Boo! Who doesn’t love a great ghost story”? Well, Alma Law has a few wild stories to tell at the Sinks Canyon Sawmill Campground in Lander tonight at 7 p.m. Bring a chair and drinks (no kegs or glass)…this evening event is FREE! Donations are much appreciated.
Riverton Library’s “Movies on the Lawn” kicks off at 9:30 p.m tonight with a showing of “Atlantis: The Lost Empire”. Bring your family and friends, some chairs and blankets…some movie snacks (I suggest a wild menu of “beans, bacon, whiskey and lard”)…get comfy and ready for a great night of family entertainment!
