Leading up to the final weekend of the season, we talked with Holly Mulcahy, a violinist from the Grand Teton Musical Festival Orchestra as well as Executive Director Andrew Palmer Todd. We asked Holly about spending her summers in Jackson Hole, how she and her brother both became professional musicians, her violin, her penchant for throwing a gourmet dinner party, and her classical music column "Neo-Classical".

In April of 2015, a mysterious fire destroyed the building that the Habitat for Humanity ReStore called home. We talked with General Manager Kevin Spence about their grand re-opening on Saturday (with a celebration Friday from 4-8pm) as well as how the ReStore fits into Habitat's mission, how he ended up with the organization, and upcoming projects for affordable housing.

On September 9th, Governor Matt Mead (who was born at St. John's Medical Center) will give the opening remarks for a celebration which include placing a time capsule in one of the pillars at the hospital. We spoke with Karen Connolly about the suggestions they're receiving for the theme of the time capsule: "Health in Jackson Hole" as well as a youth essay contest!

The Stars of American Ballet, an ensemble made up of dancers from the NYC Ballet, have returned to Jackson Hole for their 7th annual residence with Dancer’s Workshop. We talked with director Daniel Ulbricht about traveling with a chamber-sized company, his path to professional dance, and whether or not popular films accurately depict the competitive world of ballet.

We talked with Laurie Andrews about how the Jackson Hole Land Trust and Green River Valley Land Trust will unite to ensure protection of 32,000 acres in Sublette County. The JHLT will take control of the 58 different easements this October, which include ranch lands, open space and wildlife habitat.

We spoke Anne MacKinnon, a journalist and adjunct professor at UW, about a piece she wrote for Wyofile on how Wyoming might reconsider its investment strategy in the wake of declining mineral revenues. She is taking part in a conference coming up in Jackson on August 24th and 25th on sovereign wealth management in the state.
