Park City Event Guide: February 14 – 18

February 14, 2019 by Molly Miller, Colony PR Leave a Comment

We’re publishing this event guide a bit on the early side because the weekend gets off to a quick start with Valentine’s Day and stretches right on through to Presidents’ Day. When we tell you that this weekend is absolutely stacked with activities, we’re not joking.

THURSDAY, February 14: Valentine’s Day

Love Your Library Week
Cookies and Books
10 AM – 10 PM @ Park City Library
One of our finest Park City treasures, the Park City Library, is celebrating Love Your Library Week with books and cookies.

Not only do you get to enjoy the sweet treats – you’ll get to take a free book home with you (which, for some of us, *is* the sweet treat).

The library encourages the community to try one of the (truly incredible) resources it regularly provides to our residents. They will help you create a 3D print, take a virtual reality trip, and show you where to look to view some lovely artwork created, of course, by our local artist community.

BMW Biathlon World Cup
Feb. 14 – 17 @ Soldier Hollow

If you’re wondering exactly what biathlon is – look no further. Soldier Hollow describes is as a combination of “cross-country skiing with marksmanship and has its roots in winter survival skills practiced in the forests of Scandinavia where people hunted on skis. A biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants ski through a cross-country trail system whose total distance is divided into either two or four shooting rounds, half in prone position, the other half standing. For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets and receives a penalty lap or time for each missed target. Biathlon made its Olympic debut in its current form in 1960.  With a total cumulative TV viewership approaching one billion, biathlon is the most popular winter sport in Europe.”

Also from the Soldier Hollow website:
“The last and only Biathlon World Cup Solider Hollow hosted was in 2001 prior to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Approximately 28 nations and 180 athletes will be coming to Midway, Utah for the 2019 Biathlon World Cup.”

Thursday Schedule:

  • 9 AM → Gates Open

Park City Film: “Leaning into the Wind”
7 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium | Park City Library
From the Park City Film website:
“Sixteen years after the release of the groundbreaking film Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time director Thomas Riedelsheimer has returned to work with the artist. Leaning into the Wind – Andy Goldsworthy follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art. As Goldsworthy introduces his own body into the work it becomes at the same time even more fragile and personal and also sterner and tougher, incorporating massive machinery and crews on his bigger projects. Riedelsheimer’s exquisite film illuminates Goldsworthy’s mind as it reveals his art.”
~

Luna Lobos Dogsled Experience 

A one-of-a-kind dog sled experience from Rancho Luna Lobos. The dogsled tours happen year-round at their ranch. A new part of the experience is the kennel tour, a presentation, and time to play with the pups before the ride. And – maybe the best part – participants get to take turns jumping on the back with the musher to experience what it feels like to drive the team. Each session lasts about an hour and a half. More information HERE.

Lines with Power and Purpose
Tozer Gallery @ Park City Museum
Through March 9
From the Park City Museum website: 
“On a daily basis, editorial cartoonists deliver biting social commentary made palatable through amusing and well-crafted illustration. Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons features over forty original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the mix are six Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists, each demonstrating the theme of political commentary through editorial illustrations and addressing issues from the first half of the twentieth century.

These deceptively simple drawings frame the public’s understanding of early-to-mid twentieth-century world events and trends ranging from the two world wars, the great depression, public discontent with the US government, presidential elections, daily battles regarding work-related rejection, nostalgia for homespun neighborhood charm in the Midwest, and more. Along the way, these cartoons served a dualistic intention: to provide welcomed comic relief as well as shape opinion.

The cartoonist draws strength from the limited conventions of the newspaper context. Just as the strict rules of a haiku challenge the poet to create exactly the right mood within the tight construction of very few words, the editorial cartoonist presents a powerful distillation of political argument through a single image and maybe a few well-placed labels or a short caption.

To accomplish this underappreciated feat, cartoonists develop their own language—a language taught to and subsequently shared with their readers. Standard symbols such as the oft-used Uncle Sam or Statue of Liberty evoke abstract concepts such as nation, patriotism, and public interest. On a darker side, cartoons reveal the inherent cruelty of prejudice, xenophobia, and ignorance.

The Melton Gallery at the University of Central Oklahoma, the curator of the exhibition, has housed this set of political cartoons for more than three decades. This exhibition was organized by ExhibitsUSA, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance.”

Heber City Food Trucks by Firelight

Park City Film: “Shoplifters”

8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
From the Park City Film website:
“On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders is united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family. Buy tickets 
HERE. Friday and Saturday at 8 PM, Sunday at 6 PM.

The award-winning musicians have earned numerous awards—including Grammy Awards and Canada’s Juno and East Coast Music awards—for their brand of high-energy fiddling, dancing, and singing. Along with their lads and lasses, MacMaster and Leahy are on a musical mission to continue Celtic arts traditions, around the globe.
