Community dinner 2.0

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-It ain’t a potluck, but the Jackson Hole Historical Society’s reconfigured annual summer picnic has all the makings of a community dinner, from interesting topics to generous hosts.
The annual Summer Dinner Program will feature Kevin Taylor, a biologist and naturalist from Teton Science School’s Wildlife Expeditions at the home of Paula and Louis Leisinger on Cache Creek Drive. Taylor will discuss plants found in the region, and how to use them for friction fire, rope-making, basketry, shelter and hide-tanning, among other things.
The Historical Society changed its annual potluck into a bring-your-own-dinner program after state health officials, in a sweep that also knocked raw milk off the shelves at Jackson Whole Grocer, told the organization that home-cooked foods make them nervous. The nonprofit’s education coordinator, Karen Reinhart, said that at the last event, guests went all out with gourmet foods, wine and elaborate table settings.
“Ethnobotany in Jackson Hole,” is 6:30 p.m., Thursday, at the home of Paula and Louis Leisinger. Free. Call for directions: 733-9605.
