RIVERTON, Wyo. — It’s the perfect weekend for a road trip and for an added bonus, so many “Shopportunities” await this weekend for the Pre-Mother’s Day Flea market inside the Fremont Center at the Fremont County Fairgrounds, 1010 Fairgrounds Drive, Riverton 82501!
The Fremont Center will be filled with variety in thousands of items up for grabs and open to the public with free admission on Saturday, May 1st from 9 to 5 and Sunday May 2nd from 10 to 3.

Tons of fun for people of all ages with dozens of vendors, items ranging from new to vintage and antiques, including perfect gifts for Mother’s Day! Jewelry, purses, handmade, household, furniture, garage, shop, plus plenty of “Man Stuff” too!
While a lot of mothers, moms, wives, grandmothers and aunts seem to already have everything imaginable, making gift selections a challenge, the Pre-Mother’s Day Flea Market is hosting dozens of vendors from across the Cowboy State and beyond for the chance to shop one-of-a-kind and in-demand items for not only Mother’s Day but bridal and baby showers, summer weddings, anniversaries and more. As a special bonus, several vendors will have Mother’s Day “shopping assistance” for even the youngest of children who are shopping for moms on very small budgets from one to five dollars.
In addition to shopping there will be games to play, prizes to win, including TVs and radios, plus free public drawings to be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 with no purchase necessary and prizes in the $40 to $50 with three separate drawings for adults and three separate drawings for kids, plus a special Mother’s Day themed prize package.
Community Flea Markets presented by Cowboy State Marketing bring together an eclectic mix of vendors. You’ll find everything from local services to brand new merchandise in pop-up stores, plus vintage items, antiques, and a tremendous assortment of new-with-original-price-tags to used items from individuals who are spring cleaning, downsizing, preparing for a move or thinning down their personal collections of everything from books, dolls and other collectibles to “Man Stuff” including supplies and equipment for hunting, fishing and trapping.
Much-loved local artists and artisans will be on hand to answer questions about their work and offer custom projects and commissioned pieces. All mediums of art, plus a multitude of jewelry and wood items will be found at the flea market.
Treat yourself to old-fashioned fudge, cinnamon rolls and Kettle Korn while you visit, network and shop with artists, entrepreneurs and businesspeople, like Annie Cook who is the founder and CEO of Wyoming’s only woman-owned lab. Meet Lander educator and author, Dr. Marcy Elizabeth Tepper, and pick up a signed copy of her latest book.
See you at The Flea!
