Calico Restaurant: A Season to Remember

One of the highlights of Winter Windfall has been the experience of Calico Restaurant, a beloved spot in Jackson Hole. Julie, representing Calico, shared how the program helped them build connections with both new and returning customers:

“Calico was thrilled to participate in the program, as it brought in many locals during what is typically a quieter period in Jackson Hole.

With family visiting for the holidays, we had the pleasure of seeing him often and meeting his loved ones—a true highlight of the season!”
