Why we love Jackson Hole in the fall

Jackson Hole’s “off-season” comes with perks for locals and visitors alike. As tourism wanes from the summer months, many restaurants in the valley offer shoulder season discounts while showing their support for the community’s nonprofit organizations (think: dining out for a cause). 

Here’s a roundup of our favorite off-season dining deals:

Pizzeria Caldera: 2-fer Everyday: Buy one 12-inch pizza and get your second for $2. That $2 will go to the three local non-profits Pizzeria Caldera is supporting with your help. Special is available for dine-in or carry out.

Orsetto Italian Bar and Eatery: Starting October 1, buy one entrée, get the second for $2. The $2 will support a local nonprofit.

Blue Lion: Two-for-one entrees start Wednesday, October 23. Closed on Tuesdays through December 3.

Trio: Two-for-one dinner entrees will be available nightly, October 21-November 16. Mention the deal to your server. Closing November 17-December 4.

Rendezvous Bistro: Buy one entrée during dinner and get the second for $2, now through November 24. The $2 will be donating to a rotating local nonprofit. Closed Sundays and Mondays in November.

Gather: Two-for-one entrees start October 21. Must mention the deal to your server.

Since a number of restaurants will close for a period of time during the fall, we highly recommend calling in advance to avoid disappointment. 

Building Community: Jackson Hole Center for the Arts

/in /by

In a small community like ours, we are lucky to have a thriving, world-class arts scene, which is why Prugh Real Estate is a major supporter of organizations like Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, http://www.jhcenterforthearts.org. This modern campus is not only a hub for music, film, performance, seminars and workshops, it also houses 19 local nonprofits, creating a cultural epicenter two blocks from Town Square.

Celebrating its 8th year, Center for the Arts is on a mission to bring more diverse and affordable programming to the community. We sat down with Marketing Director Anne Bradley to learn more about The Center’s mission, and what’s coming up for 2016.

Vertical Harvest Comes to Jackson

/in /by

By now you have no doubt heard of Vertical Harvest, http://verticalharvestjackson.com, the 13,500-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse on a remnant piece of public land next to a parking garage in downtown Jackson. Co-founded by Penny McBride and architect Nona Yehia of E/Ye Design, VH is the first step towards a more sustainable solution for bringing fresh produce to our mountain town.

On this tiny piece of land, the production of the greenhouse will equal that of a 5-acre traditional farm. Beyond the benefits of fresh produce year-round, Vertical Harvest is also a great example of community building. One of the organization’s key goals is to provide meaningful employment for citizens with developmental disabilities.

This month, as part of our series on local businesses and community leaders, we sat down with Penny McBride to hear more about her vision for Vertical Harvest.

Picnic Jackson Hole

Picnic Opens at the Seven Ten Split Building

/in /by

Greg Prugh developed the Seven Ten Split building as a permanent home for Gary Bennett’s State Farm business. What was a bowling alley in the 80s and 90s, today houses 7 businesses including Senator Enzi’s office, Hoyt Architects, GE Johnson and Levy Coleman Brodie, all anchored by a place to grab coffee and catch up.

In November, the Seven Ten Split building will be home to Picnic, an offshoot of local favorite, Persephone Bakery—owned by husband and wife team Ali and Kevin Cohane— and we couldn’t be happier to have this new Jackson eatery next door.

Children’s Learning Center: Dancing with the Jackson Hole Stars

/in /by

Friday and Saturday night, Dancing With the Jackson Hole Stars takes over the Center for the Arts where Greg Prugh and Dan Visosky will take the dance floor to raise money for Children’s Learning Center (CLC).

CLC is an important part of our lives at Prugh Real Estate. A few years ago, Greg and Eileen’s son, Crosby, was diagnosed with down-syndrome in utero. Because of organizations like this, families like theirs can find support, care and resources for their children.
