Scrabblemania!

Upcoming free opportunities to suit your ski bum budget:

Friday, February 27--

Check out the Scrabble Tournament at Hard Drive Café. Got a knack for spelling bees? Enter the competition for $35 for your chance to win not just Jackson Hole Nerd Glory but also a scholarship for the 17th annual Jackson Hole Writers Conference this June 25-28. Slightly dyslexic/not into gambling your English language skills? Never fear, free snacks will be provided throughout the three 30-minute rounds. Drinks will be available (2for1 happy hour!) for purchase, so feel free to get sloshed while you unleash your inner Spartan Cheerleader to motivate the dictionary connoisseurs.

Need some more drama after watching board games for two hours? There are free improvisational performances at the Center for the Arts in the Black Box Theater, one at 8, one at 9:30.

Saturday, February 28--

Transcend before you hit the slopes at the free Introduction to Transcendental Meditation, 10 a.m. at Transcendental Meditation Center of Jackson Hole. I don't really know what all goes on here, so call them at 413-8955 to learn more.

Who loves traveling and saving the world? We do! Sustainable Travel Trends presentations and discussion at the Bentwood Inn. There will be heavy Hors d’oeuvres at 5 p.m. and talks at 6 p.m., so it's safe to say you can peace out before the presentation if you're a homebody and prefer to pollute. JK.

Sunday, March 1--

Ummm.... SAT practice test at the Library? Free! Lame. Yechhh.

Free wings at the Q! Seriously, no gimmick. This actually happens every Saturday and Sunday from 5-6. AND it is happy hour. Glorious.

Learn more about an elusive chunk of rock named Mars at the Center for the Arts from 5:30 to 8:00pm. No word yet on if food or booze will be there, but it may be interesting.


Thanks for checking in, and have a great recession-proof weekend!
