Father’s Day is this weekend and what better time could there be to explore Riverton and Lander? There are plenty of events happening Friday through Sunday that would be great to enjoy with Dad, the whole family, or simply on your own. Summer in the Wind River communities of Riverton and Lander is just the time to get involved and experience everything Fremont County has to offer. Below are three main events you can mark on your calendars:

Start the summer off with a bang and this 5K, 1K run or walk. This event is actually titled the “Fast and the Furriest” and is in its third year of operation. All proceeds go to support the Critical Care Companion Animal Fund, helping families that are faced with financial hardship and unable to provide care for their pets in need of veterinary care.
