ELK-FEST ANTLER SALE & SCOUTS ANTLER AUCTION

May

18

Time: 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Location: Town Square

Come to Town Square to see thousands of antlers for sale and support the Scouts! Every spring, thousands of elk wintering on the National Elk Refuge lose their antlers before they migrate to their summer range. The Boy Scouts assist the Refuge with harvesting the shed antlers and auction them to bidders from around the world who make furniture, wall decorations, jewelry and food products from them. This annual event, which includes the High Noon Chili Cook-Off and the Mountain Man Rendezvous kick-off, supports the National Elk Refuge with a large portion of auction proceeds going back to habitat enhancement projects on the Refuge.
