Save the Date! 1838 Rendezvous set for June 24-28

As the end of the year approaches, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who supported us this year as well as years past!! The Rendezvous community is a fantastic group to be in. It is a family of its own! I am proud to be part of this family!! As Booshway, I look forward to our 2026 Rendezvous and the opportunity to share the event with our community.

If you have never been to a Rendezvous or maybe are interested in getting back into it, our 1838 Rendezvous is a perfect fit for you. We are a teaching Rendezvous. We allow the public to come in without primitive attire. We offer you a chance to come and see what Rendezvous is all about. We are completely open to the public, offering the chance to try any of our events.

We offer Hawk & Knife throws, Muzzleloader shoots, Mountain Man walks, Highlander games, Seminars and kids games. Music, dining, and crafts are available. Take a stroll through Traders Row and pick up the many wares offered. They have furs, clothing, beadwork, leather works, tin ware, blankets, toys, muzzleloaders, and so much more!! In the evening you can relax with a drink, music, storytelling and more at our Roost.

I look forward to another fun and successful Rendezvous in 2026. The dates have changed so be sure to update your calendar of events, June 24 - 28, 2026.

Enjoy the rest of your year by having a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Carrie "frankie" Gavin,
2026 Booshway

Riverton Community Thanksgiving Meal: Celebrate Together at the Table

Riverton, WY - The Riverton Community Thanksgiving Meal welcomes everyone to come together and celebrate around the table this Thanksgiving Day. Coordinated by dedicated volunteers, this long-standing community tradition ensures that no one spends the holiday without a warm meal or friendly company.

This year’s event focuses on the in-person Community Thanksgiving Meal, with expanded transportation options through WRTA to help ensure everyone who wants to attend can join. The project includes three components: the Thanksgiving Food Box Giveaway, a limited number of Hot Meal Deliveries, and the in-person Community Meal at the Fremont Center.

1. Thanksgiving Food Box Giveaway

The RHS Key Club will once again host their annual Thanksgiving food box distribution on Saturday, November 22 at 10 a.m. at Riverton High School, 2001 West Sunset Drive.
 Distribution is drive-thru, first-come, first-served, one box per vehicle. Each box contains all the essentials for preparing a Thanksgiving meal at home.

2. Hot Meal Deliveries (Limited to 100 Meals)

Hot Thanksgiving meal deliveries are reserved only for individuals who truly cannot attend the in-person meal, including seniors, those with mobility challenges, and others unable to leave their homes.

A total of 100 delivered meals will be available and will be delivered between 10 a.m. and noon on Thanksgiving morning.

To request a meal delivery, please call the Riverton Senior Center at 307-856-6332.

3. Community Thanksgiving Meal - Our Main Event

The heart of the project is the in-person Community Thanksgiving Meal, and everyone is invited.

Join us Thanksgiving Day from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fremont Center, 1010 Fairgrounds Drive for a full Thanksgiving spread, warm conversation, and a joyful community atmosphere.

This is the primary focus of this year’s efforts, and organizers encourage all who are able to attend in person.
