2008 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Events and times subject to change. We are a small community with many different people, organizations and groups volunteer their time to do the various parts of our Rendezvous events. Some activities are not completely planned and decided until as late as May and June for Rendezvous Days. Please bear with us that we don't have a complete schedule ready by January! We'll post schedule information as it comes available from the various organizers. Please look at the schedule below to get an idea of the kinds of events that will be taking place over Rendezvous Days. Many events repeat from year to year, so this will give you a good idea of the "flavor" of this event. Main contacts for event information are the Museum of the Mountain Man, Sublette County Chamber of Commerce and the Sublette County Rodeo Association. Note: The schedule below is based on the best information we have at the time of this update. Times and events listed below are subject to last minute changes.
