We are proud to announce the 2010 Jim Ratz Memorial Recipients: Chancy Headley 16 years old from Ft. Washakie Wyoming and Anna Boyle 17 years old from Lander Wyoming. These two lucky recipients proved worthy of this most honorable memorial fund.
They will embark this year on an alpine expedition into the Grand Tetons with the help of Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. These students were chosen from a pool of applicants that spread across Wyoming. Their attitude, extracurricular performance, and interviews allowed them to stand above the rest. Congratulations Chancy and Anna, we all wish you a safe and smooth expedition.

Howdy to all !!! The festival is going to be here in less than a month! We have been hard at work to make sure this year the festival will send you home with great swag, good memories, and possibly a hangover or two. Wild Iris just opened and the climbing is as good as it ever was. The city park flooded last week! National Guard came to the rescue with sandbags aplenty.
The music this year is going to be AWESOME! Friday morning Kate Jaworski will have us swooning over her jazzy stylings then Friday night the White River Ramblers will be putting it down at the Lander Bar. Saturday night be sure to check out ROJOS CALIENTES at Jaycee Park, this band draws from Peruvian and South American folk music, Gypsy Jazz, Bluegrass, Americana and Jam music, be sure to bring your dancing shoes!
