Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Prepares to Celebrate ElkFest and Old West Days!

Please join the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce for two weekends of fun and events during ElkFest and Old West Days!

ElkFest, a weekend of activities built around the 43rd annual world-famous Jackson Hole Boy Scout Elk Antler Auction, is an exciting time for celebrating nature, outdoor skills, hunting and ecological education and awareness. The Boy Scouts assist the National Elk Refuge with the harvest and auction of shed antlers. This annual event, which includes the High Noon Chili Cook-Off and the kick-off for the Mountain Man Rendezvous and Antler Rendezvous, supports the winter feeding program on the National Elk Refuge.

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce is especially pleased to be hosting the 8th Annual Jackson Hole High Noon Chili Cook-Off with the Howdy Parnder Ambassador Club. Please join us on Town Square from 12:00-3:00pm on Sunday, May 23. Professional chefs representing their restaurants, individuals with super chili recipes, and groups representing their businesses or nonprofit organizations will vie for your votes. Tasting spoons cost just $5.00! Snake River Brewery will be on hand to help tasters cool their tongues with samples of locally-brewed beer.
