Happy Wednesday, Journal Tribe!

It's time to look ahead to the weekend!

THURSDAY: While the Heart Mountain Pilgrimage is on this week, it wraps up with Defining Courage at Wynonna Thompson Auditorium. Also, the Park County Fair is this week over in Powell - the Carnival opens at 1:00 pm and goes to 11:00 pm as far as I can tell - some of you have asked. Concerts in the Park this week is John Roberts & Pan Blanco.

FRIDAY: This weekend is also Midways Birthday Bash, so head on over to help them celebrate. At Gestalt Studios in Powell, there's the Powell Creative Corner Open Mic+Art Showcase happening. And the Figure 8 Race happens at the Park County Fair.

SATURDAY: Edelweiss Riverhouse is holding both their 3rd Annual Craft and Vendor Show, and Car Show. Meeteetse Museums is holding a Guided Tour of the Double Dee Ranch. This usually fills, so check to see if there's still room. Hippy Cow is holding a Hippy Ice Cream Social in the morning. Also the Park County Fair Parade happens in downtown Powell in the morning.

Saturday evening, the Chamberlin is holding a fundraiser event for a young man who has gotten some devastating news and medical bills with a Standing With Kaden: Community Fundraiser. They are looking for silent auction items as well. Also in the evening is the 2nd Annual Benefit Dinner for the Riley Arena as they look forward to bringing back the ice soon.

SUNDAY: The weekend wraps up with the usual brunches available as well as a Ladies Sporting Clays Fun Shoot.

Enjoy your weekend!
