Fire up the fun! Porter’s Grilled heats up June 14

Get ready, Fremont County…Porter’s Grilled is back for its third year, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest Father’s Day bash yet! Join us Saturday, June 14, from 11 AM to 3 PM at Porter’s parking lot in Riverton for a free, family-friendly event packed with food, fun, and friendly competition.

The Grilled Competition: Burger Battle Royale

Watch the heat rise as three local personalities take on mystery ingredients and unpredictable grills in the ultimate burger showdown. Each contestant will have to think fast, grill smart, and impress the judges with flavor and creativity.

Free BBQ Lunch

Swing by early for a delicious lunch—Porter’s will be serving up hot dogs and burgers for free while supplies last. It’s a community cookout like no other!

Dad Olympics: Hilarious Challenges, Serious Bragging Rights

Dads will battle it out in hilarious challenges—think diaper duty speed rounds and classic “dad skill” showdowns. One standout dad will walk away with the grand prize: a $500 Sinclair gas card. It’s wild, it’s weird, and it’s not to be missed.
Sign up here if you’ve got what it takes.

Kids Carnival

Bring the whole crew—there’s a full kids zone with carnival games, a bouncy house, face painting, and prizes for the little ones. Fun for them = more time for you to soak up the grilling action.
