Park City Event Guide: Halloween Happenings

October 29, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Halloween is nearly here, and, in true Park City style, there are options galore for the big day. Here’s a peek at a number of family-friendly activities.

Tuesday, October 30

Arachnids: After Dark!
6 – 8:30 PM @ Swaner EcoCenter

Prep for Halloween with a very spooky night of family-friendly fun! It’s a whole new way to experience the largest arachnid exhibit in the U.S. – in the dark.

In addition to seeing the exhibit, you’ll get to participate in creepy crawly arachnid trick-or-treat activities and take a walk on the Preserve at night. Come in costume and bring a flashlight and a trick-or-treat bag; candy will be distributed at each activity station.

Wednesday, October 31

Make Your Own Trick-or-Treat Bags
10 AM – 5 PM @ Kimball Art Center

For just $5, pop in with the kiddos in to get crafty, create a one-of-a-kind Halloween trick-or-treat tote, and burn some of that extra Halloween energy! Drop-ins welcome between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
~

Transylvania Tea Party Blood Drive
10 AM – 3 PM @ Snow Park Lodge

In our opinion, the only acceptable way to see *any* blood on Halloween is with a blood drive. Deer Valley’s Annual Halloween Blood Drive with ARUP Blood Services is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Snow Park Lodge. To sign up to donate, you’re asked to contact the Deer Valley HR front desk at 435-645-6654.

If you cannot donate blood, you can still help with a donation of non-perishable food items (you can bring these to the HR Dept. at Deer Valley).

Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse
4 – 5 PM @ L.L. Bean Park City

The brand-new L.L.Bean store has just opened its doors on Heber and Main – and they are getting into Halloween by talking disaster preparedness – zombie-style. Seriously though, the Halloween-themed Zombie Apocalypse Survival Clinic aims to arm you for the unthinkable. It will introduce you to skills (and gear) that will help you through many different types of disaster. You can register for that, and see a list of upcoming events at the new store, HERE.

Fall Fun Guide

We compiled an even larger list of fall fun – you can find it HERE – and some of the activities extend beyond Wednesday. Take a peek – and have a safe and happy Halloween!

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in / ski-out community in the United States. Our land spans 4600 acres, and approximately 90% of it will always be preserved as open space.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of North America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City Mountain. In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.

The Colony is just 35 minutes from Salt Lake International Airport and 5 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Small Business Highlight: The Paint Mixer

October 29, 2018 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

We’re always looking for fun things to do with friends, family or coworkers that isn’t just going out to dinner; something that gets the creative juices flowing, lets you have a meaningful experience with your people… buuuut also doesn’t leave your house a mess. Enter The Paint Mixer!

You can create your own version of “Main Street (Winter)” at The Paint Mixer.

The Paint Mixer is a great way to get out of the dinner-and-a-movie rut. Here’s how it works: pick a class at either the Park City or Salt Lake City location. (You can also schedule your own private class for a party or team building.) You show up and all the supplies you need to make a masterpiece are ready for you. A teacher guides you through the process, step by step, to make a piece of art you’ll truly want to hang in your home! Much of the art you can choose from focuses on the beauty of Utah and the options rotate through the seasons. We love this picture of Main Street in the snow!

Before you protest that you’re not an artist, owner Jill Johnson argues that no perceived talent is necessary! The goal of the studio is to help you focus on the process and when you forget about results, you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish.

In addition to owning The Paint Mixer, Jill is an art therapist. She has a private practice—Purity of Play, LLC—where she specializes in using art to help people working through trauma and PTSD.

In an interview with Verlocal about her work, Jill says, “With art, they disrupt their narratives and see alternative perspectives, ideas, and possible healing solutions.”

Whether you’re working through trauma, trying to add a bit more meaning to your life, or looking for a way to expand your creativity – painting can provide that. In fact, The Paint Mixer breaks down the 3 reasons why everyone should paint:

First, painting has therapeutic benefits. It can help decrease stress and has a similar effect on the body as meditation (!). As you focus on just the task in front of you, you start to forget about other worries you may have, giving your mind and body time to truly relax and breathe.

Next, it unleashes your creativity. We often don’t think we are creative people or even have a need to be creative. But anyone who has arranged a carpool or set up a particularly complicated spreadsheet knows we are always looking for creative solutions to everyday problems. Painting flexes that creative muscle in a low-risk, high-reward situation. And just like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

And finally, painting teaches us concentration and perseverance. Painting requires you to sit down and do something, start to finish. We often are working on a million things at once. It’s good to practice focusing on one task and completing it. It also teaches us to work through challenges.

Like Bob Ross always said, “There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” This mindset makes it easier to come up with creative solutions in order to see mistakes as opportunities—in painting and in life.

Here’s what you need to know if you’re ready to get those creative juices flowing! Each class is about 2 hours long. Some are all ages, perfect for the whole family. If you’re looking for more of a night out vibe, there are also 21+ classes, where you can purchase a drink or two, sourced from local breweries and wineries.

The Paint Mixer also offers private classes for a party or team building workshop. And if you can’t get your whole group to one of their two locations, they’ll gladly come to you in the aptly titled Van Go Mobile Studio – which can accommodate groups of up to 300 people!

If you have an idea of something you’d like to do, shoot them an email – they are extremely open to bringing your ideas to life.

We all need a way to clear our minds and channel our creative energy. What better way to do it than with some friends, a glass of wine and a beautiful painting at the end?

And – as if you need another reason to experience the fun of The Paint Mixer – the business also donates 5% of its profits to local causes. It has donated more than $10,000 – and counting! – to the community.

The Paint Mixer is located at 738 Main Street in Park City and 1327 E 2100 S in Salt Lake City. To see the schedule of classes and book your class or event, go to https://thepaintmixer.com.

Open House

“The Summit County Children’s Justice Center is the first step in the child abuse investigation process and provides a neutral, comfortable environment designed to put a child at ease. A non-leading interview is conducted by a forensic interviewer to get to the truth about what a child may have experienced.

Each interview is video-recorded to be used as the child’s voice during the investigation process. This aids not only in the prosecution of these offenses but also allows the child to tell their story once and move on to the process of healing. Our team is made up of Summit County and Park City Police detectives, caseworkers, prosecutors, victim advocates, and trauma-trained therapists and medical staff.”

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 4.

CREATE →

Open Studio
12 – 2 PM @ The Paint Mixer

Whether you want extra painting practice, some alone creative time – or just the chance to make a painting with no guided instruction, Open Studio is a great Sunday afternoon option.

Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm, and diplomacy into the private role of the Great Man’s Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work, but bubbling undercurrents may get in the way.” You can purchase tickets online or at the door.

The selections range from German-style brews to locally-crafted suds from Utah breweries (including Moab Brewery, Bohemian, Uinta, and Squatters), and you can save a few bucks on the beers by re-using one of your previously-purchased, 1-liter Snowbird Oktoberfest beer stein or mug (you know you have one. Or ten.).
Not into beer? No problem. A wine garden awaits and you can revisit your college drinking days in the Jagermeister tent.

(Safety note: PLEASE don’t drink and drive. There’s an Oktoberfest lodging special to make it easier for you to be safe and stay the night.)

Of course, with all those drinks, you’re gonna need some food. Grab a brat, or some weisswurst, sauerkraut, apple strudel, spaetzle, beef rouladen, pretzels, and Bavarian roasted almonds. Beer and food are purchased a la carte. The brewskis flow from noon until 6:30 p.m., but get there this weekend because the keg is kicked till next year on Sunday!

Body and Soul
Kimball Art Center
Through November 4

Never in history have we (ok, some of us) been more inundated with images – at least from a social media perspective. Landscapes, pictures of home design and architecture, candids (does such a thing even exist anymore?) but especially the new self-portrait – those supernumerary selfies – are shared and consumed relentlessly across social channels.

Kimball Art Center’s new 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:

Backroads Americana by Tom Kelly

Main St, Kamas. Tom’s exhibit runs through October 31, 2018.
