The Trailing of the Sheep Festival is featured in a new “Small Town, Big Story” video series created by media company Atlas Obscura for Brand USA/US Travel Association as part of its international travel marketing program. In the new video series, “Small Town, Big Story,” Atlas Obscura host Dylan Thuras reveals singular celebrations, local lore, and hidden histories around the country.
The Trailing of the Sheep Festival team assisted the film crew from Atlas Obscura during their film shoot at the festival this past October. The video story honors the unique aspects of the festival and the Sun Valley area community. Through interviews and visuals, the story features the area’s past and current sheep ranching families and heritage as well as colorful fall landscapes, small-town authenticity and spectacular dark skies.
