SURVEY! The good local food people of Fremont County continue to think on, and visit about, how to create a state-inspected "commissary" kitchen for local food businesses to utilize for their value-added food processing, food preparation and private chef-ing. Perhaps, one located at Riverton's Fremont Local Market and another in Lander.
To facilitate this, CWC seeks input on how to expand the local food economy through the production of locally grown and processed foods, developing additional sales channels for local food retail, what the education needs are for developing value-added processed food products and if there is a need for a shared-use inspected commercial kitchen for making value-added products.

Please join the conversation by filling out this linked survey. Your responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide contact information.

Here's the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cwclocalfoodsurvey

support the rhs after party!

Riverton High School After Prom is funded solely by donations and grants and on average costs between $10,000-$15,000.
The party is held to keep our youth safe and off the roads on one of the statistically “deadliest” nights of the year.
We rely completely on the generosity and support of our community businesses and families and, of course, our amazing Rec Board!
Volunteers will be heading out to many of our local businesses this month with flyers. Please remember, every.little.bit.counts!
If you would like to donate, please comment or message us (on Facebook) and we will be sure to send someone by.
Personal and family donations are also greatly appreciated!
