On Memorial Day 2025, Museum of the Rockies will open its new cafe in the Bair Lobby, though unlike fossils, the name isn’t set in stone.
From Nov. 20 to Dec. 20, anyone in the community can enter the naming contest for the new cafe. Contestants should ponder their submission carefully as they only get one opportunity to enter a name.
According to the MOR website, the name should be original, family-friendly and reflect MOR’s mission and identity. The cafe will serve espresso drinks with beans from Yellowstone Coffee Roasters, soda, water, grab-and-go sandwiches and snacks.
A selection committee will narrow submissions down to three names and select the prize-winning entry. The winner will receive a $100 gift card to the new cafe, and a 12-month general museum membership. The museum will announce the winner in January 2025.
