As we celebrated our one year anniversary we asked As we celebrated our one year anniversary we asked you guys which of our events was your favorite. By far the most common response was Buffalo Deconstructed! This year we’re revisiting this topic and expanding it! We want to keep it in the Wyoming theme so we’ll be deconstructing and preparing 6-7 Antelopes at the same time! We will also be covering more of the process than we did last time, so we’re expanding to cover skinning, deboning, butchering, and even cooking. Roughly we’ll be spending our time: 1hr skinning 1hr cleaning 1hr cutting, cooking, taxidermy 1hr taxidermy and cooking Local artist and taxidermist Steve Knox will host us again at his spacious studio, we’ll also be joined by Chef Juan Coronado and Chef Seth Stefanik. Because of the limited space, supply costs, and thoughtfulness towards social distancing this will be a limited ticketed event. We’ll be offering 20 hands-on spots, you’ll be able to participate or watch as you see fit. Because we’ll have multiple animals to break down this will be less of a presentation and more of a swarm learning / participation event. We’re asking this to be an adult-only event since this is a private residence with, you know, knives and stuff. Steve is a local art teacher who is a talented painter and taxidermist, you can check out his work at Fine Art by Steve Knox (https://www.facebook.com/wyofineart). He and his friends have graciously offered to both host us and source the Antelope the morning of our event. Chef Juan and Chef Seth are the founders of Micro Popup and Los Conejos.
