A pup party on Wednesday will mark the last day of the winter dog park at Teton County Fairgrounds.
The human-canine duos who enjoy the seasonal park continue to push for a permanent, year-round space to roam, sniff, socialize and do their business.
Companion animal advocacy organization Paws of Jackson Hole, which partners with Teton County Parks and Recreation to manage the dog park each winter, will host a closing day soiree, programs manager Jess Farr said. From 2 to 5 p.m., people are encouraged to stop by with their pups, costumes optional, to enjoy the final day with a cold beverage or a game of cornhole.

Every year, fifth grade elementary school students from Teton County and students from across the nation spend an entire weekend at Teton Science Schools Kelly Campus in Grand Teton National Park where they bond with their classmates and learn about wildlife. But, due to the pandemic, overnight programs for local and out of state students were canceled.
In fact, an estimated 30 percent of outdoor education organizations nationwide will be forced to shut their doors by the end of the year. That s according to a survey funded by the National Science Foundation. Teton Science Schools is staying open, but it s required some big changes, especially for its field education branch.
