Outlaw PartnersThe Hungry Moose adds carnival and ALS fundraiser to annual Music in the Mountains sponsorship
HUNGRY MOOSE MARKET AND DELI
As has become tradition, the Hungry Moose Market and Deli will sponsor the first Music in the Mountains concert, featuring The Lil’ Smokies, on June 22. But this year, the event has been enhanced to thank and celebrate the Big Sky community, and to raise awareness about a disease that has hit home for Mark and Jackie Robin, the owners of the Hungry Moose, and their family.
Last September, Mark was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neuro-muscular disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since that time, the Robin family, along with their close friends, family and the community of Big Sky, have witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of ALS on a previously healthy, active individual.
“The disease is dark,” Jackie said. “But the outpouring of love and support for our family has been nothing but light-filled. We are overwhelmed.”
The inspiration for the name of the event, which will begin at 5 p.m. Thursday, June 22, at the sponsor tent in Town Center Park, came from one of many handmade cards Mark has received from local children who know him as Marky Moose. It read, “You have soul shine. I love you.”
In honor of Mark, and as a thank you to the community for their outpouring of support, this year’s concert event featuring The Lil’ Smokies and the Gallatin Grass Project will also include a free carnival, music by Lauren Jackson, complimentary food and drinks, games, a dunking booth, a balloon-artist clown, face-painting, cotton candy and more.
“The Hungry Moose family—and the Robin family—have never been more grateful to our friends, employees, customers and community,” Jackie said. “Our staff has done a fantastic job managing both stores; our customers have been loyal, and we’ve been overwhelmed with the help and support we’ve received from so many.”
The Robin family has identified two organizations working to support people with ALS and their families, and one research facility working on treatments. The ALS Association Evergreen Chapter is located near Seattle but covers Montana and has been a great resource for the Robins.
Team Gleason—founded and inspired by former NFL player, Steve Gleason—focuses on the quality of life of ALS sufferers by providing technology grants and helping families realize dreams of travel and adventure. Massachusetts General Hospital ALS Multidisciplinary Clinic is dedicated to finding treatments to ease the path of a person with ALS.
Donations to any of these three organizations are gratefully encouraged. There will be an information tent at the Soul Shine Celebration or you can visit bigskysoulshine.org to learn more and contribute online.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
