The Museum of the Fur Trade east of Chadron holds its 15th annual Feast of the Hunter’s Moon Saturday night, starting at 5 pm, with musical guests the Bald Mountain Rounders. There are only 300 tickets and all are advance-sale only.
Museum Director Gail Potter says the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon draws its name from the signal fur trappers and others took from the sky to mark the start of the hunting season.
Potter says the Feast is very important event because it’s a major source of funds used to purchase new artifacts for the museum’s collection.
The menu for this year’s Feast of the Hunter’s Moon offer popular favorites from past years, a wide variety of wild game dishes, Brunswick stew, and treats.
Parking will again be at the nearby Alpha School with shuttle service to the museum…a move made last year for both safety and convenience.
Tickets are $20 and are available at the First National Bank of Chadron, the Chadron Chamber of Commerce office, the First National Bank of North Platte, and the Museum of the Fur Trade.
