Teton County Fair 2016

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

July 22-31, 2016

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!

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

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!

Contour Music Festival

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

June 11, 12, 13, 14 of 2015

A new event hitting the Hole this Summer. The Contour Music Festival will occur over the second weekend in June. This will be first festival of this magnitude to be hosted in Jackson. There is an extensive line-up of musicians, covering a variety of musical genres. The event looks to be a good one, with multiple venues and a strong line up of acts.

Jeff Stein and Matt Donovan are our hosts. They have worked diligently to get Contour off of the ground. The three words they are using to describe the Contour experience are: intimate, innovative and elevated. Contour is a non-genre specific event, one that should be attractive to a wide audience. Part of that idea is having the chance to be introduced to music types that people may not have previously experienced. Designed to be an annual event, with increasing impact and benefit over the long-term, we all hope that this inaugural events goes well. It is exciting to have the community of Jackson to host an event of this caliber.

2015 Line Up:

Thievery Incorporated, The New Mastersounds, Sabo, The Librarian, Danny Corn, Sango, G Jones, Autograf, The NTH Power, Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, Screen Door Porch, Moon Taxi, Papadosio, The Polish Ambassador, Mr. Whipple, One Ton Pig, El Papa Chango, Cure for the Commoon, Tiger Fresh, Country Hammer, The Congress, Shaprece, Roosevelt Collier Gospel Brunch, Spirit Family Reunion, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Orgone, Mikey Thunder, Patti Fiasco, The Cave Singers, Sweater Beats, Quixotic, Djemba Djemba, Deltron 3030 and many more local and international acts.

The Main Stage will be at the Snow King Ball Field with music wrapping up around 10p.m. each evening. Late night shows will follow and will be hosted at the Pink Garter Theater, Center for the Arts, Town Square Tavern, and the Silver Dollar Bar in the historic Wort Hotel.

J.H. Farmer’s Market

Saturday mornings on the Town Square

The Jackson Hole Farmers Market occurs each Saturday morning on the Town Square from July 10 to September 19 for the Summer of 2014. 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.
