Teton County Fair 2013

Posted on: July 12th, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 22nd thru July 29th 2012

The Teton County Fair signals the heart of Summer in Jackson Hole. The fair grounds will be humming with activity all week long making this possibly the most entertaining time to visit in Summer. Visitors to area will find all the usual fair delights; rides, 4-H displays, livestock, petting zoo, nightly entertainment. The nightly events including the rodeo, live music, pig wrestling, figure 8 races and more. Parking at the fairgrounds is $10.

There is a food court located inside the main fair grounds with all of your usual delights. I recommend not missing out on some local fixin’s over by the events tent. Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining. You will find a large grassy area with some picnic tables located near the “Big Top” events tent.

My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.

A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.

Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.

This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’s racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

Snake River Flows Rising

Posted on: May 20th, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

If you are in Jackson Hole over the next few weeks, whitewater action is coming on! Flows in the Snake River Canyon are currently rising. Flows through the Snake River Canyon section of the river generally peak sometime between the middle of May and early June. When the flows reach their peak, the best whitewater action of the season is waiting for you. Rafting and kayaking adventures are sure to provide some thrills at this time of year.

The extended forecast seems to hole some warm weather, which should help increase the flows over the next week or so. For more information on Snake River Flows. For more information on Jackson Hole weather.

Be prepared, as water temperatures are quite cool. I would highly advise utilizing a wetsuit.

Tough Towner

Posted on: May 1st, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

Sunday, May 12

The “Tough Towner” is an adventure style race to grace Jackson, WY. This is the Hole’s answer to a Tough Mudder. A roughly four mile race course will take race participants from Snow King Ski Area around the town core and back. The race will begin at Phil Baux park, with the first section of the course taking place upon the lower portion of Snow King. Fast Class Begin 10:30 AM
Fun Classes Begin at 12:30 PM.

Participants will then travel to the Rodeo Grounds, Miller park and the Recreation Center Field on the North side of town. At each of these venues racers will be overcoming a number of various obstacles. Upon departing the Rec. Center the course will proceed to Mike Yokel park and then back to Phil Baux park for the final component to complete the course.

It sounds as though participants should prepare to get wet and dirty combating the course. This race should be a fun one for spectators to follow by bike through town. By doing so spectators can take in all of the obstacles, and not miss out on any of the action. This unique, first time race is another step in the evolution of Snow King Ski Area and the Snow King Sports and Events Center as a true local venue for a number of events.

All ages are invited to participate

The race is sponsored in part by Grand Dynamics.

Registration for the “Tough Towner” is $45. A Race and a Fun class do exist.
