Ketchum suffers big loss while looking toward future One of Ketchum’s most popular drinking and live music establishments, Whisky Jacques’, was reduced to ash and rubble in September, after a fire began in the neighboring former Dirty Little Roddy’s building. The blaze was yet another blow to the city’s hurting economy, coming just a year after the massive Castle Rock Fire.
