Steeldrivers…St. John’s Hospital Benefit

Posted on: July 31st, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 31st

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of St. John’s Medical Center, St. John’s Hospital Foundation is hosting a birthday party open to the entire community on Sunday, July 31st at the Snow King Ballfield. Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The SteelDrivers is headlining this free, family-friendly event to thank the community for supporting St. John’s Medical Center.

The St. John’s Hospital Foundation is thrilled to bring the 2016 Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The SteelDrivers to Jackson. After winning a first-time Grammy award for the acclaimed #1 album The Muscle Shoals Recordings, The SteelDrivers are taking 2016 by storm. The group has played to numerous sold-out venues this spring.

“What better way to celebrate one of the community’s most important assets – St. John’s Medical Center – than with a community celebration and birthday party,” said John Goettler, Foundation president. “The Jackson Hole community has been incredibly supportive of St. John’s Medical Center since it was built 100 years ago. We are grateful for the commitment and financial support of our community donors, and this party is a chance for the Foundation to say thank you! We hope that everyone in the community will come and join the celebration.”

Festivities will begin at 4:00 pm with the Hootenanny Allstars, featuring several members of the Jackson Hole Hootenanny. Brent Moyer and Friends take the stage next, with special guest Nashville artist Mike Dowling on guitar. Rounding out the concert program is the Nashville-based band The SteelDrivers, which has been playing to sold-out audiences throughout the country. The music portions of the Centennial Celebration will be produced by Jackson Hole Live.

The Jackson Hole Hootenanny, itself a historic institution, goes back 50 years when Bill Briggs brought artists and musicians together under a bridge in Grand Teton National Park. In the 1990s, the Hoot (as most people call it) moved to Dornan’s Bar in Moose and showcases musicians every Monday night.

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brent Moyer moved from Jackson Hole to Nashville in 1986, but makes a pilgrimage each year to reconnect with the Jackson music scene. Known to many as the Global Cowboy, which is also the name of his 2008 recording, Moyer has released a total of 13 albums.

Mike Dowling spent more than a decade in Nashville playing sessions, fronting his own band, and writing songs for artists that included Del McCoury, Kathy Mattea, and Emmylou Harris. His engaging voice, self-deprecating wit, and arsenal of elegant interpretations of old blues, swing, ragtime, and original tunes captured the hearts of acoustic music fans.

Complimentary activities at the celebration include birthday treats, face painting, hula hooping, Jackson Hole Public Art’s mobile studio, the strider bike park, giveaways, and tips for healthy living. Food trucks and beverage vendors will be available, as they are for Jackson Hole Live events.

Partners for the event include Jackson Hole Public Art, Friends of Pathways, and the Jackson Hole Recycling Center.

July 4th 2015 will be a fun filled day in Jackson Hole, actually the 3rd & 4th look pretty good. There is a lot to keep you busy from sun up to sun down. Be prepared for the crowds. There tends to be more vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic than any other day in the valley. It is good to find a nice parking spot, try the public parking garage located on Millward, then set out by foot or by bike. There will be some congestion getting out of and around town after the fireworks display.

Sunday June 19th, 2016

11th Annual Crawfish Boil

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 Revivalists with opening act Sneaky Pete & the Secret Weapons

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.

Spring Break Away 2016

Posted on: April 5th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 20th-April 17th

Each Spring Grand Targhee Resort hosts a number of events towards the end of the season. The Spring Break Away is yet another growing project at the mountain. Lodging deals are available. Enjoy the relaxing resort environment of Grand Targhee and its fabulous terrain. Spring storms can bring ample snowfall. Awesome views of the Tetons and Spring corn await. Grand Targhee is a hidden gem in the Rockies. A lack of lift lines is one of the most appealing aspects of the resort. An average annual snowfall of 500″ guarantees coverage.

Snowcat skiing and snowboarding are also available at the resort, and well worth checking out.

Temperatures tend to be mild and there are some great places to check out while in the area. Head to Wildlife Pizza & Brewery to sample local brews.

Experience the “quieter side” of the Tetons.

Pond Skimming

Posted on: March 19th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 20th, 2016

This annual event provides for a great afternoon of entertainment. The Pond Skim has been growing over the last few years, drawing more and spectators and participants. Food and beverages are available on site. This event tends to have a very festive and party like atmosphere that is fun for all ages. Many competitors dress in costumes and will do multiple skims through the pond. Participants are of all ages.

If you would like to participate you can easily sign up at Snow King Mountain. Don’t miss out on this ski town classic, its an annual right of Spring. The spills will no doubt end in some chills when crawling from the pond. Creative riding and some splashing of the crowd tends to add a little excitement for everyone. Competitors try to go backwards and do all sorts of tricks to the delight of the crowd.

The weekend’s Pond Skim signals the kick off the final week of lift served skiing for the season at Snow King Mountain. The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb moves onto the slope of the King for the following weekend, marking the end of the season for Snow King Mountain.

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

Jackson Hole Fireman’s Ball 2015

Posted on: October 29th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

November 14th 2015

Head to the Heritage Arena on the night of November 14th 2015 for a rowdy good time. Jackson Hole’s Fireman’s Ball is celebrating it’s 75th year!!! Don’t miss this one. Their motto “come to our party and we’ll come to your fire” should be reason enough. The Ball is the Association’s primary means of generating revenue for measures not provided by County funding. For the past 75 years, the Firefighters Association has been hosting the Fireman’s Ball, making it one of the oldest traditions in our valley. We will have local food vendors, live and silent auctions, gun raffles and of course, ice cold beer and cocktails served by Jackson’s bravest.

This year’s line-up will feature the North Mississippi Allstars with Anders Osborne, Sam Bush Band, Chancey Williams & the Younger Brothers Band.

***This year’s silent and live auctions will wrap up early in the evening, if you are keen to bid on this year’s awesome items, please arrive at 6:00pm***

JACKSON FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION: The Association represents local firefighter/EMTs in the town of Jackson. Our firefighters respond to fire and medical emergencies from Station 1, in downtown Jackson and Station 7, in Adams Canyon.

The Jackson Firefighters Association provides funding for firefighter training courses and continuing education, life saving equipment aboard our fire apparatus as well as emergency funds for the families of local fallen or injured firefighters. Last year, the Association purchased a new cardiac monitor for Medic 10, our downtown and busiest ambulance. This new monitor allows us to transmit EKG rhythms to the hospital to better and more rapidly diagnose heart attacks in the field. The Association also helped to purchase a new fire engine for Station 7, which was put into service last summer and protects the Melody Ranch and Rafter J area. Simply put, the Association is there for local firefighters just like those men and women are there for the Jackson community.

Come out and support these brave men & women!

Stargazing at Rendevous Park

Posted on: October 18th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

2015

Every clear Friday night, Wyoming Stargazing is hosting free public stargazing events at Rendevous Park. During the stargazing events they will be using their giant Dobsonian Telescope with a 20″ primary mirror to look at planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and more! They will also bring several iPads with the Star Walk application installed on them so you can explore the heavens while others are looking through the telescopes.

The telescopes are named after the late amateur astronomer John Dobson who designed the telescope mount used by those telescopes. John was also instrumental in popularizing amateur astronomy and amateur telescope building across the county. The programs will take place at roughly 9:00pm for the rest of the season. Feel free to show up for whatever portion of the program works for you.

These free public stargazing events have been made possible by a generous grant from the Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium, NASA Grant #NNX10AO95H.

Rendevous Park is located on the West Bank of the Snake River, on your Right just after you merge onto HWY 390 from HWY 22.

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.

Teton County Fair

Posted on: July 21st, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 17-26, 2015

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!

Duckie Tours

Posted on: July 15th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Rubber Duckies, are inflatable kayaks designed for aquatic exploration. This a unique and exciting way of river running is safe and fun for the whole family. Inflatable Kayaking is far more thrilling than traditional white-water rafting and have no problem handling turbulent water.

These boats are extremely maneuverable and quite resilient. One of the most exciting ways to ride the river. The boat rides low in the water making smaller waves during the late summer much more fun. No previous river experience is necessary. Experienced instructors will familiarize you with equipment. After providing a brief river safety course and paddling instruction your adventure begins. You will find these watercraft amazingly simple to control. The section of the Snake River that is run, provides class III rapids. All equipment and transportation is included.

Myself and members of my family have enjoyed taking the Duckies down the Snake. Guided trips are offered by Rendevous River Sports.
