Wyoming created conservation districts in 1941, in response to the soil erosion of the Dust Bowl years. The Cody Conservation District organized the following year. Eighty-plus years later, three districts, Cody, Meeteetse, and Powell-Clarks Fork, split coverage of Park County's water, soil, and wildlife between them.

This Thursday, all three are coming to Sunlight Sports for trivia night. Come test what you know about the natural resources around Cody, and hear about the work these districts do to conserve them.

Pint Night runs 5 to 7 PM. Trivia runs 5:30 to 6:30.

This is part of our Pint Night series. Every Thursday, we offer complimentary beer or non-alcoholic beverages to anyone with a Sunlight pint glass. Don't have one yet? You can purchase a limited-edition glass at the event. 100% of proceeds go directly to one of our five local nonprofit partners that get kids outside.

Thursday, July 30. Sunlight Sports, 1131 Sheridan Avenue.

Fjällräven is coming to Pint Night on Thursday, July 23.

Starting at 6, they'll be walking through their Keb trousers and the G-1000 fabric they're built from, plus how to actually take care of them. That means Greenland Wax: what it is, why it beats replacing a pair of pants, and how to work it into the fabric yourself. If you own Fjällräven gear already, bring it by and they'll show you how to keep it going.

The Shoshone Backcountry Horsemen will be there too. They're the volunteer group that's kept horse and hiking trails cleared across the Shoshone National Forest since 1993, and they'll be on hand to talk about the work and answer questions. Fjällräven is donating $300 to support it.

Pint Night runs 5 to 8 PM. Every Thursday, anyone with a Sunlight pint glass gets a complimentary beer or non-alcoholic drink. Don't have one yet? Pick one up at the event. 100% of proceeds go to one of our five local nonprofit partners that get kids outside.

Every Saturday from June 13 through August 22, we're teaming with Sunlight Trail Guides and leading hikes out of Cody. Routes are in the Shoshone National Forest and the mountains nearby, and they change each week. We'll post the trail a few days ahead so you can plan accordingly. Canyon walks, high country routes, a little of everything across the summer.

This Thursday we're adding live music to Pint Night. A local bluegrass group , made up of friends of the store, is bringing their regular jam session to the store. Come pull up a chair and stay a while.

The Redside Foundation supports the health and strength of the professional guiding community across Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado, and they are expanding that work into Cody and the Bighorn Basin. The foundation was created in memory of Telly Evans, a longtime Idaho river guide who passed in 2010. The work runs on a clear-eyed recognition of what guiding actually asks of people: seasonal instability, physical and psychological risk, healthcare access gaps, and long stretches of isolation.

Redside's 24/7 Guide Helpline connects any guide to a licensed therapist who understands the work and the lifestyle, typically for eight confidential sessions at no cost. The organization also offers financial health coaching, six professional development grants and five scholarships each year, and a range of community-building programs and physical health resources. Since 2014, Redside has supported more than 23,000 counseling sessions.

The evening will include a short film, an overview of resources, and a chance to talk with the people doing the work. Open to any working guide or outfitter, anyone who works alongside the community, and anyone who wants to understand what local guides carry and where they can turn for support.

Every Thursday at Pint Night, we offer complimentary beer or non-alcoholic beverages to anyone with a Sunlight pint glass. Don't have one yet? You can purchase a limited-edition glass at the event. 100% of proceeds go directly to one of our five local nonprofit partners that get kids outside.

The Shoshone River runs through Cody. Most of us cross it every day. The watershed it drains, from both forks coming out of the Absarokas down through the valley, is what we drink, fish, irrigate, and float on.

This Thursday, the Shoshone River Partners are coming to the shop for a trivia night about that watershed.

The morning after our Mountain Hardwear Trail Dreams Roadshow, Liz Derstine is heading out on the Outlaw Trails and has invited anyone who wants to come along.

Liz is a Mountain Hardwear trail athlete who ran the Pacific Crest Trail self-supported in 69 days, 13 hours, and 53 minutes, the third fastest self-supported run by a woman in history. She's also a professional pianist and composer.

But.

This is not a race, and she is not there to push the pace. She's there because the Outlaw Trails are worth getting up early for and mornings like this are better with people in them.

The run is three to five miles on easy to moderate terrain, with multiple loop options depending on what the group wants. Plan to be done by 8:00. Bring water, wear layers, and don't worry about your pace.

Meet at the Outlaw Trails trailhead at 6:45 AM. No registration required - just show up.

Join us at Sunlight Sports on Monday, May 11th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. for Mountain Hardwear's Trail Dreams Roadshow - an evening built around the trails, the people who love them, and the gear that gets you out there.

Every Thursday we host Pint Night at Sunlight Sports. If you own one of our limited-edition pint glasses, your beer or non-alcoholic beverage is free. Don't have a glass yet?

Does your kid love to ride? Come discover the incredible youth biking opportunities right here in our community! On April 30th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m., representatives from Little Bellas, NICA, and PCYC* will be on hand during Pint Night to share information about their programs, answer your questions, and register your child for the upcoming season.

Program options available for girls kindergarten - 12th grade and boys 7th - 12th grade. Stop by and find the perfect fit to get your young rider out on the trails this season!

*Note that the PCYC season registration has closed, but it’s still a great chance to learn about the program for the 2027 season!

Come in and check this out. We’re teaming up to get the work out about WWF’s summer program. From the organizers…

Wyoming Wildlife Federation has been working for wildlife across the state since 1937. WWF's education program has fun and engaging ways to learn about Wyoming's wildlife, habitat, and ecology for people from 3 1/2 to 99, but here in Cody, we're doing something special. With support from the community, we are happy to offer a second year of summer camp experiences, reaching 20 kids ages 6-9 with a week of ecology-themed learning and free play in an outdoor setting. Immersive camps like this give kids a great environment for learning, an appreciation of the wild world around them, and all of the developmental benefits of playing outdoors. 

Rogers will walk through what it actually takes to attempt one of the world's most dangerous climbs: the training, the logistics, the mental preparation, the things that go wrong at altitude, and what it's like to stand above the clouds on the second-highest point on Earth. He's also summited Everest, Aconcagua, Vinson Massif in Antarctica, Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro — so come with questions about any of it.

Sam Hochhalter from Friends of Shoshone Trails will walk us through the new recreation area on Dead Indian Hill - the groomed trail network that just opened this winter for nordic skiing, fat tire biking, and snowshoeing.

The area sits 30 minutes from Cody near the Chief Joseph Highway, with nearly 5 miles of groomed roads at elevations from 7,700 to 8,600 feet. You can ski with views of Sunlight Peak, the Beartooths, Cloud Peak, and the Pryors.

Sam will cover what's open now, what the summer trail plans look like, and where the project stands in the federal approval process. If you've been looking for a close-to-home alternative to Wood River or Pahaska, or you want to know how this could expand into a bigger trail system, this is your chance to hear it directly and ask questions.

She'll share what the trip looks like on the ground - daily kayaking among icebergs, the polar plunge, walking on Antarctica, wildlife encounters with penguins and seals, and the science talks that happen onboard. And she'll cover the lessons learned and tips that only come from actually being there.

If Antarctica is on your bucket list but you don't know where to start, or you just want to hear what this trip is really like, come ask your questions.

Will and Theresa just got back from Europe last year, where they hiked the Portuguese Camino, the Fisherman's Trail, Cinque Terre, and more. They'll talk about how they pulled it off - segment hiking, traveling with a kid, staying on budget, and figuring out the logistics that make European hiking trips actually happen.

Park County Citizens for Sustainability is screening the original IMAX documentary Lost Wolves of Yellowstone at the downtown Cody Theater. Start your evening at Sunlight for Pint Night at 5:00 PM, then walk down the street for the 6:30 PM screening.

The film uses footage lost for decades to document the 1995 wolf reintroduction - following the federal process and the people involved on all sides of the debate. Whether you lived through it or want to understand what happened, it's a piece of local history worth seeing.

Doors open at 6:00 PM at the Cody Theater.

Cody local Jarren Kuipers will be sharing his adventures in some of the wildest parts of the park - the southern edge of Yellowstone Lake. Join us to check out some great stories, ask questions, and get tips for planning your own world-class trip in our own back yard.
