Park City Event Guide: November 3 & 4

November 3, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR Leave a Comment

It’s official: Chart Data reports that Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” has re-entered the Top 100 on US iTunes, which means – Halloween is OVER and the holidays are coming! With that – there are a few options for gift shopping (whether it’s for yourself or for your loved ones – we don’t judge) on the activities list this weekend. So get dressed, go grab yourself an eggnog latte, and enjoy the next couple of days in Park City!

Saturday Morning Guided Walk | Snowshoe Tours
8:30 – 10 AM 
Swaner Nature Preserve & EcoCenter 

Time for winter Nature Walks, where you can learn about wetland science, natural plant and animal species, and the history of the Swaner Preserve, search for and identify animal tracks and other signs of animal life.

Swaner indicates that the outing is appropriate for all ages and takes place on generally flat terrain with a slight uphill grade – which could be challenging for younger children and some seniors.

Participants should wear sturdy, warm boots, snow pants, hats, gloves, a coat, and bring a water bottle. Snowshoes can be rented from the EcoCenter – $2.50 for members, $5 for non-members.

Park City Ski & Snowboard Swap
Basin Recreation Fieldhouse
10 AM – 6 PM

The 46th Annual Ski and Snowboard Swap, held at Basin Recreation, is one of the oldest, largest ski swaps in the United States. Skis, snowboards, boots, poles, clothing, and accessories will be available, and there are some incredible deals to be found! Sunday hours: 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

To make your experience as successful as possible, here are some swap shopping tips, courtesy of the organizers:

  • Leave your coat in the car! For security reasons, we must check your coat upon entry into the swap. For a faster entrance and exit, leave your coat in the car.
  • If you are going to try on some boots, bring the socks you plan to wear with them with you to the swap.
  • Do your research online for the types of products you are looking to buy.
  • We have roving assistants who can help you with product information, seek them out if you have a question about bindings, types of ski, snowboards, etc.

Park City Film Series: “Fahrenheit 11/9″
8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium

The film examines the current state of American politics, particularly the presidency and gun violence while highlighting the power of grassroots democratic movements. 

“What gives it its sear is its message of a ruptured country as eminently fixable, as long as wishing and hoping is replaced by organizing and doing.” -Los Angeles Times

Show times are 8 p.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.
~

Foghat
8 PM @ The Egyptian Theatre 

Called a “truly timeless” band, Foghat’s “thunderous blend of blues, boogie, and butt-kickin’ rock ‘n’ roll are shaking walls and fans everywhere with a live show as intense as ever.” You can catch the shows at The Egyptian Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 6 on Sunday. Grab tickets HERE.
~

Giving a Bleep 
8 PM @ The Prospector Theater
Park City is all about nonprofits. So much so – that we have non-profits dedicated to raising money to give to *other* non-profits. One such group is “Giving a Bleep.” The organization puts on plays, event, and seminars – and its signature event is a full-length musical comedy written by, for and starring all-volunteer Park City locals. The show plays at 8 p.m. Friday and 10 p.m. Saturday. You can buy tickets for shows HERE.
~

Boo Ball
7 PM – 11 PM @ St. Regis 

The dogs have been paraded and young ones have trick-or-treated – so it’s time for the adults to get into costume and have some fun at the Boo Ball! Admission includes dinner, drinks, and live music; costumes are strongly encouraged – with prizes awarded to the best. AND – there is also an opportunity drawing for a Sundance 2019 Opening Weekend Film Premiere Package. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales and the opportunity drawing go to benefit the community nonprofit Park City Institute.

James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour
6:30 – 9 PM @ Riverhorse on Main

Riverhorse on Main hosts the return of the James Beard Foundation’s “Celebrity Chef Tour” – when Riverhorse on Main Executive Chef Seth Adams partners with other accomplished chefs to create original recipes for a world-class dining experience.

The Celebrity Chef Tour visits more than 20 cities all over the country to give guests the opportunity to experience what it’s like to dine at New York City’s historic James Beard House. Each dinner begins with a cocktail reception followed by a one-night-only, multi-course dinner with wine pairings featuring a diverse group of JBF Award winners and local chefs, and ending with a decadent dessert course and a Q&A session with the evening’s chefs.

The Art and Science of Arachnids
Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Wednesdays – Sundays: 10 AM – 4 PM

This exhibit is seriously catching people in its net – and it just so happens to be the largest arachnid exhibit in the United States.

The exhibit guides visitors to explore connections between arachnids and literature, art, folklore, paleontology, science, and history. You’ll see 100 live arachnids (!) and experience hands-on activities – hopefully, the live arachnids are not the hands-on activities, but you’ll have to go see it in order to find out. INSIDER TIP: They feed the spiders on Thursdays – so that is a great time to go see some action.

This exhibit is available to read and listen to in both Spanish and English, and is free for members; for pricing and other info, click here.

Body and Soul
Kimball Art Center
Through November 4

Kimball Art Center’s current exhibit, Body and Soul, features 24 Utah-based artists and explores the lasting power of what you could call the “legit-art selfie” genre across contemporary painting, photography, text-based installations, and more. From the Kimball Art Center website:

“Established tropes are both embraced and reinvented, presenting diverse approaches to portraiture as a means of commemoration, reflection, and social critique. From faithful likeness to fantasy and fracture, the power of portraits is that they are about more than what we look like; they reveal who we are.” Admission is free; the exhibit will run through November

Pick any one of the paintings and follow the written instructions – or just do your own thing! Materials are provided; guidance is not. Register for the session here.
