PR: Ferret Day in Meeteetse!

Come to Meeteetse for Ferret Day on Saturday, September 28, 2019.

Ferret Day is an annual celebration of the endangered black-footed ferrets’ rediscovery in Meeteetse in 1981. The ferret was reintroduced in 2016 in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the rediscovery and has become a symbol of the town.

Ferret Day will begin at 10 am at the Meeteetse Museums with the story of rediscovery told by Kris Hogg. Following Kris’ retelling of the famous event, Little Ferrets can play games with the Meeteetse Recreation District at the school football field from 10:30 am until 11:30 am. At 11 am, come hear the Basin Fiddlers perform at the Elkhorn Bar and Grill. The Basin Fiddlers will be followed by an open mic at 1 pm until 4 pm. Local and traveling musicians are welcome to perform during this time. In addition to local musicians, you can check out local craft and food vendors who will be set up in the Ferret Den and on Water Avenue.

This is your chance to see North America’s most endangered animal- the black-footed ferret. Thanks to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a live black-footed ferret will be on display at the Meeteetse Museums all day. Wyoming Game and Fish will also be present with current counts on the Meeteetse ferrets that were first reintroduced in 2016. Even Farrah the Black-Footed Ferret, the museum’s mascot, will be around and about throughout the day!
