IPSSSDR KICKED OFF JANUARY 25 — CONTINUES THROUGH FEBRUARY 2

The International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) kicked off on January 25, 2013 in Jackson, as teams mushed through the town’s streets.  Teams are now traveling across nine other communities over the next eight days racing through nine other towns before finishing on February 2. Towns welcome mushers and canine competitors with musher meet-and-greets, Dutch oven dinners, pooch parades and ice sculpture splendors. Spectators need only bundle up for the formidably frosty fun and prepare to quaff cocoa as they catch the paw-pounding action amid breathtaking mountain vistas.  For more information, call 307.734.1163 or visit www.wyomingstagestop.org for a complete schedule of events.

JACKSON — Snake River Brewery:  Snake River Brewing has turned to a full can and keg brewery! The brewery made the move from bottles to cans for many reasons — a highlighted list:   cans are better for beer (oxygen & UV light are kept out); their cans are made in Worland, WY (we love local!); the lighter cans take less fossil fuels to ship; cans are great for local recycling centers… We’re digging it!

GOSHEN COUNTY — Table Mountain Vineyards:  It’s no secret that we dig darn near everything that Patrick and our other buds over at TMV put out there. Read Patrick’s latest column in the current issue of Lifestyle (“A Sprinter Walk Through the Vines”), and check out this video they put out of the Sandhill Cranes migrating past the vineyard… Is it food? No. Is it made by a rocking Wyoming winery? Yes. As you prepare for your summer adventures, I highly recommend placing Goshen County on your list:  visit Fort Laramie National Historic Site and fill your brain with some amazing Wyoming history; then journey over to nearby Huntley and visit the winery. Their tasting room is full of good wine AND good Wyoming-made products…
