Wolverine Science Pub – Ketchum, ID

Elephant's Perch, Ketchum, ID

Conjure up an image of a reclusive creature with the profile of a giant armadillo, the proportions and grace of a river otter, and the thick mane of a grizzly. As if dropped out of one’s imagination or taken from the crayon-scribbled colorings of our childhood, the North American wolverine is a perfect mish-mash of our most fanciful wildlife dreams, come to life for real. And, at long last, the creature, in all its untamed wildness, has been protected under the Endangered Species Act. Join Idaho Conservation League’s Wildlife Program Associate, Jeff Abrams, for a presentation on this remarkable species – one that takes refuge in the mountains surrounding the Wood River Valley! No RSVP or scientific background is required. Just bring your curiosity, sense of humor, and appetite for drinks and knowledge.

The Big Wood Fish Run

Elephant's Perch, Ketchum, ID

The Fish Run is a race that asks racers to run, catch a fish, and drink a beer (although that last part is optional). The Big Wood Fish Run is an irreverent event that almost dares you to not take it seriously. But, the 13 mile course and challenge to catch a fish in a section of river loaded with other competitors is nothing to sniff at. This event will take strategy, cunning, and a willingness to think outside the box. Will you try to catch a fish right out of the gate? Will you run the fastest and go for the “Hail Mary” hole right above the finish line? And don’t discount the beer chug: If you can drink a beer in under 60 seconds (without spilling a drop!), you’ll get 5 minutes knocked off your total time. If you feel like you have what it takes to compete in what is arguably the most ridiculously serious race of the summer, read more below!
