Fremont County Fair
Every summer, amidst the majestic Wind River Range, Riverton, Wyoming, comes alive with the sights, sounds, and spirit of the Fremont County Fair. This eight-day celebration, held annually in late July, is a vibrant tapestry of agricultural showcases, thrilling entertainment, and deep-rooted community pride.
One of the fair's highlights is the "Mutton Bustin'" competition, a unique and crowd-pleasing event. Here, young children, often dressed in cowboy attire, attempt to ride sheep for a few seconds, their bravery and determination met with cheers and laughter from the audience. Beyond this lighthearted competition, the fairgrounds boast a diverse array of livestock shows, from majestic horses and prize-winning cattle to fluffy rabbits and adorable poultry. These showcases not only celebrate the region's agricultural heritage but also provide an opportunity for local farmers and ranchers to connect with the community.
