(Riverton, WY)- On this episode, Jason Wilson joins the County 10 Podcast to talk about the annual Fremont County Friends of NRA banquet and the work that has gone into building it into a longtime local tradition. Wilson has helped spearhead the event for nearly 20 years, and in this conversation he shares what keeps people coming back year after year: community, camaraderie, and a fun night built around dinner, games, raffles, auctions, and firearm-focused prizes. The event is set for Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Chandelle Event Center in Riverton.
Wilson also explains the mission behind Friends of NRA, which raises money to support the future of the shooting sports, with proceeds helping programs and grants at both the state and national level. The official event page notes that 50% of net proceeds are earmarked for the state, while the banquet itself gives attendees a chance to enjoy a prime rib dinner and compete for exclusive guns, gear, décor, and collectibles. Single tickets are listed at $60.
If you have ever wondered what this banquet is really about, this episode gives a helpful look at the people, purpose, and energy behind one of Fremont County’s annual events. Tickets are available through the Friends of NRA event page, and the official listing includes Jason Wilson as the event contact at (307) 840-2160.
