The Jackson
Hole Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to celebrating our western culture
this spring with ElkFest and Old West Days weekends!
46th Annual
ElkFest will be held May 18-19. ElkFest, a weekend of activities built around the
world famous Jackson Hole Boy Scout Elk Antler Auction, is an exciting time for
celebrating nature, outdoor skills, hunting, and ecological education and
awareness. Every spring, thousands of
elk wintering on the National Elk Refuge lose their antlers before they migrate
to their summer range. The Boy Scouts assist the Refuge with harvesting the shed
antlers and auction them to bidders from around the world who use the sheds to make
furniture, wall decorations, and jewelry. This annual event, which includes the
Howdy Pardner’s High Noon Chili Cook-Off and the kick-off of a Mountain Man
Rendezvous, supports the National Elk Refuge with significant portion of
auction proceeds going back to habitat enhancement projects. Learn more at http://www.jacksonholechamber.com/events/elkfest.php.
32nd Annual Old West Days will be held May
24-27. Celebrating the Heritage of
the West! Jackson Hole has long been referred to as "The Last of the Old
West" and with the community’s rich history it’s no wonder Old West Days
is a favorite among visitors and locals alike. Visitors from all over the country
come to delight in the live music, theatrical entertainment, arts and crafts,
delicious food, rodeo events, and much, much more. Learn more at http://www.jacksonholechamber.com/old_west_days/.
