Posted on: September 27th, 2019 by thcAdmin No Comments

Octoberfest in the Tetons is not to be missed.

October 2, 2019

The Snake River Brewery holds quite an extravanganza. The brewery tends to be quite busy all day long with individuals celebrating the Harvest and the coming of Fall. Keeping with tradition, “Salzburger Echo” will be providing the oomp-pah music. Stein’s will be for sale.

October 4, 2019

The Wort Hotel will be hosting an Octoberfest event with a Polka Band. They will be serving food specials and $1 off all draft beers from 11am until 11pm. The Hof Band will be providing traditional polka music from 7:30-11pm, no cover charge.

Jackson Hole Farmer’s Market

Posted on: August 21st, 2019 by thcAdmin No Comments

Saturday mornings on the Town Square June 22 thru September 23, 2019

The Jackson Hole Farmers Market occurs each Saturday morning on the Town Square from July thru September for the Summer season. The market runs from 8am to 12pm. Not only are there fruits and veggies, but baked goods, canned good and more. The community and visitors to the area have embraced the Farmers Market since it kicked off in the Summer of 2000. Attendance has steadily grown each year as the Farmer’s Market has become more diversified and now offers a larger number of vendors.

Raised in a family with a large garden, I was exposed to fresh produce at an early age. Flavor is the best part. Local produce tends take on the characteristics of its environment. High elevation, frost resistant crops that are widely grown in the area possess a fabulous crispness and taste.

The growing trend of Farmers Markets across the country has helped to nurture awareness of healthy eating, buying locally and getting to know your neighbors. The Hole Concierge strongly endorses increased consumption of organic foods, the localization of production and its inherent benefits. Farmers Markets provide healthy locally grown and produced products which in turn assists in creating sustainability within local economies. A number of small organic farms have cropped up in the area over the last few years creating jobs and reducing commuter traffic in the area.

Featured each week is a different chef, musician or group, and a non-profit. Vendors at the market donate 10% of their gross sales to the non-profit of the week. Over the past ten plus years the market has donated over $200,000 to local non-profit organizations. There are games for the kids and other features of the market. Hope to see you down on the Square.

Wednesday Evenings

The Jackson Hole People’s Market occurs on Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 7pm. Running from May 29 thru September 18, 2019. The market occurs at the Phil Baux Park at the base of Snow King Mountain. The growth of the market has been enjoyable and a pleasure to watch. The market’s popularity simply reinforces the fact that Americans are finally getting back in touch with local produce.

The shift in awareness of healthy, locally produced produce and its positive effect on local economies is great to see. The new location at the base of Snow King allows great access for East Jacksonites. It is also located close to the rodeo grounds for those looking for a pre-rodeo fix.

There is generally some music and the Phil Baux Park has a giant jungle gym, 2 large bouldering features, and a few covered picnic areas right at the base of Snow King Mountain. There is a very relaxed mid-week atmosphere that the market seems to exude.

Do not miss out on the mid-week mixer at the base of the King!

Tulia Osteria & Bar

Posted on: March 22nd, 2018 by thcAdmin No Comments

When in Naples Florida, I would not miss the opportunity to dine at Tulia. There is a restaurant and bar side to the establishment. The bar side is a little tighter, but provides a slightly more casual experience. A small patio area fronts 5th Avenue. The dining scene in Naples is ever improving, this is my favorite. A comfortable atmosphere with a nice blend of folks. Reservations are highly recommended, days in advance when it is “in season.”

You can’t go wrong with the menu. Order a number of items to split between your group if you are having a hard time making up your mind. Taste as many dishes as possible. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Enjoy your time.

A favorite option of mine, is hitting their “in between” time on the way back from the beach. Order something for now and something for later. That way you can get your light late afternoon meal in coming off of the beach, and have some awesome food to reheat back at the casa. You can’t go wrong!!

Dinner and Elk Viewing

Posted on: March 1st, 2018 by thcAdmin No Comments

Combine a dinner sleigh ride with elk viewing at the Mill Iron Ranch. Taking a horse drawn sleigh ride to view the elk is awesome. A short sleigh ride which incorporates viewing of a resident elk herd, will be followed by a hearty Wyoming dinner.

After an active day nothing beats a great meal combined with some Western hospitality. There is a resident elk herd in the area of the ranch which can often be viewed during the sleigh ride. Always a unique dining experience.

Dinner sleigh rides are one of the more popular activities during the winter season, so book early. The intimacy of the ranch and the authentic Wyoming experience offered by the crew at the Mill Iron is unsurpassed. I recommend working this experience into your schedule while visiting the area.

Head South of town and hop into a sleigh at the Mill Iron Ranch, if you would like further information and/or reservations, contact them directly at 888-808-6390 or 307-733-6390.

Teton County Fair

Posted on: July 10th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 21-30, 2017

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’ is racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

12th Annual Crawfish Boil

Posted on: May 31st, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

Sunday June 18th, 2017

The Jackson Hole Crawfish Boil is a celebration of Louisiana tradition in the heart of the Tetons. Great music, great food, and even better people. This newer “Jackson Hole Tradition” is a favorite for many locals, especially our Southern born. There will be live music starting at 5:30pm, boiled crawfish with corn & potatoes, the best red beans-n-rice in the West provided by Sweetwater Restaurant. There will be yard games galore! Bring your lawn chairs, picnic blankets, and get ready to have one of the best days of the Summer with us! Celebrate Father’s Day in style!

Music will be by the The New Orleans Suspects with opening act Boondocks

Please no dogs.

By far one of the most entertaining and laid back events to hit the Hole. Locals thoroughly enjoy this day of all ages entertainment. I look forward to this day each year, the food is delicious and the music line-up tends to be quite good. The original version started out being hosted at Cutty’s Bar and Grill, located across from Alberstons. After a number of years the Boil outgrew its digs and had to relocate to the Snow King Ballpark. The event is co-hosted with JacksonHoleLive!

Doors Open at 4:30pm with music beginning around 5:30pm.

Apres Skitastrophe???

Posted on: March 14th, 2016 by thcAdmin

Teton Village has grown quite significantly over the years, the Apres ski scene however, has left much to be desired. I have even heard term “apres-don’t”. On the weekends the lack of seating or even standing room, at times, is overwhelming enough to drive many locals out of the village and back home. I would imagine that quite a few visitors have just headed to the local liquor store, then retreated to their rooms or the hotel/condo’s pool and hot tub. There is some great food and fun to be had, you just need to get off of the hill by 2:30-3pm to score a good seat at your desired location. Many people can often be seen trolling the village looking for a place to sit and unwind after 4pm.

Weekdays during non-holiday times generally leaves folks with the ability to go where they desire. You may sometimes find that some places are virtual ghost towns during off peak periods. It is certainly an odd mix in the Village.

The Bodega can be a good call. Providing a laid back environment, with some delicious brats. There is a little space indoors, more tables and seating are available just outside. There is some great Southern exposure so you can soak in some afternoon rays.

Teton Thai is a little slice of Thai heaven. The food is amazing! Off of the beaten path a bit, they are located by the Ranch Lot, a shuttle goes back and forth most hours if you do not feel like making the walk.

King Sushi is my favorite “get out of Dodge” move. Jump on the bus or into your car and head straight to town. Get a nice deal on some drinks and sushi at one of the best places in town. If you get off of the hill before 4pm, grab a “tall boy” and soak up some rays along the Village Commons then head to town a little after 4pm. They are located just off of the town square.

The Mangy Moose Saloon is the traditional hotspot. Being written up in a number of ski magazines as the place to be. The Moose isn’t quite as wild as it used to be, but it is certainly a place to mix with the locals and “out of towners.” There is often live music and a great take to take in some afternoon sun.

The Spur located in Teton Mountain Lodge is a local go to. The Spur gets going pretty good on the weekends. They have a great drink selection, yummy food and an inviting atmosphere.

Osteria inside of Hotel Terra can be a great place to slip into. Often overlooked, they have a quaint bar with decent

Pearl St. Market

Posted on: October 31st, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

The Pearl St. Market is a local favorite. Filling the void for a downtown market and offering deli, meat & fish, veggies, desserts, bakery items, prepared foods and more. On the corner of Pearl and Cache St., a block South of the Town Square (toward the Snow King ski area).

Pearl St. Market’s philosophy is a simple one: offer the highest-quality, freshest, and most cutting-edge products that we can find in every category. This way you can rest assured knowing that as you bite into that new cheese from a small Italian mountain farm or serve up a Jackson Hole raised Mead Ranch Ribeye

The wide array of high quality meat, fish and baked goods are what draw me there. The sandwiches are delicious, my favorite is the Hot Pastrami.

SHIFT Festival 2015

Posted on: October 6th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

October 7-10, 2015

Held each October in the midst of the largest intact ecosystem in the Lower 48, SHIFT is an annual festival that celebrates the intersection of conservation with Nature, Culture and Adventure. The 2014 SHIFT Festival, which runs from October 7-10, includes speakers such as Yvonne Chouinard, Mark Bittman, Charlie Hamilton James, Angel Collinson, David Quammen, Lucas Debari as well as multiple programmatic pathways.

America’s first sustainable food festival activates the renowned bars, restaurants and foodists of Jackson Hole as we celebrate the interface of food, sustainability, health and place, connect people to the sources of their food, and strengthen our local food system.

The objective is to advance on-the-ground solutions that leverage outdoor recreation for conservation gains, and to provide a unified framework for these natural allies that will allow them to influence conservation and outdoor recreation policies at both local and international levels, thereby increasing success in the protection of our public lands and waters.

Conservation lies at the core of Jackson Hole’s environment, economy and character. Over the past 140 years, the region has been the epicenter of some of North America’s seminal conservation efforts, including the formation of Yellowstone, the world’s first national park, the drafting of the Wilderness Act, and the expansion of Grand Teton National Park to its current boundaries.

Throughout North America, some of our most beautiful and well-known communities—places like Bar Harbor, Moab, Sayulita and Hanalei—enjoy a similar relationship between economy, character and natural capital. We call such communities GEMS: Gateways to Environments of Major Significance. Each of these GEMS shares a fundamental reality: over the long term, they can be no healthier than the environments in which they reside.

These GEMS share another trait: they attract both millions of visitors each year and influential part-time residents. When they serve as models of sustainability, they have a unique opportunity to influence the behavior of their guests. By fostering sustainability in North American GEMS, SHIFT seeks to promote them as beacons of possibility—and, by extension, to affect the world they influence.

Snowmobile Hill Climb

Posted on: March 11th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

2015 Events is cancelled due to poor snow conditions

The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb is held each March on Snow King Mountain. The race is put on by the Jackson Hole Snow Devils, a local snowmobiling organization. This event fills the town and attracts over 10,000 spectators throughout the course of the weekend. The race course rises nearly straight up from the base of Snow King. It is simply amazing that riders are able to pilot these machines up such a steep pitch.

It was not until the early 90’s that many sleds even had a chance of summiting the challenging course. With the advent of new technologies, since the mid nineties, it is truly a race versus a high point competition.

The Octane Addictions Freestyle Demo is a snowmobile jumping event at the Teton County Fairgrounds rodeo arean. Tickets are $20.

This event is sure to provide some high speed thrills and spills! The central viewing area and that corner of town in general tend to be pretty lively. If you have never seen something like this before, make some time to take in the hill climb. The racing heats up over the weekend with qualifying Saturday and the finals, “King of the Mountain,” on Sunday. Racing starts up early at and generally lasts until 5p.m. or so.
Schedule of Events.

Take the chairlift to the summit and back down to see the race from an entirely unique perspective. The views of the valley from the chairlift on a clear day are pretty spectacular as well. Should choose to walk down along the course, be prepared for a steep and potentially thrilling descent.

Book your lodging early as the town tends to get pretty full over the hill climb weekend. With the event being held in town, many properties are with walking distance of the hill climb. Utilize the S.T.A.R.T. bus to get around town. Don’t drink and drive, there tends to be a heavy police presence around the valley for this event.

The Common Cafe & Tavern

Posted on: January 19th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

When in or around Rumney, NH, I strongly recommend the Common Cafe/Tavern for a bite. I first frequented the Common Cafe in August of 2013. Having spent time in Rumney as a child I was familiar with the space as an antique store in the barn attached to a house on the Town’s Common. The rebirth of this old inn is inspiring. The food in phenomenal, and the hospitality equally as good. The proprietor, Brian, is an entertaining individual with a knack for conversation, and creating great food.

Some of the produce comes from the garden just outside in the yard. Dine on the outdoor deck, which overlooks the garden. Some of the food you may be consuming comes from that garden. This past Summer while back in NH, my cousin Nate took me back, this time for an evening bite at the Common. After flying in from WY, I was pleased to learn that they had begun dinner service. Upstairs from the Cafe a small bar and a few tables had been installed to create an intimate dining experience in the loft space of the barn. Wonderfully renovated in classic New England style. The pizza was just what my belly yearned for after being away from sea level for a year. There is just something about the dough you never quite achieve at altitude. There was a small selection of local brews on tap complimented by a variety of wines and liquors.

I have heard that they are also doing some live music a few nights a week, stop the the Common, you won’t be disappointed.

Located at 2 Quincy Rd. in Rumney, NH

Open Daily 7am to 4pm

The Tavern is open from Wednesday thru Sunday 4pm to 10pm
