At its core, Art+Belief is about the balancing act between individual vision and religious conformity and the unlikely possibilities of reconciliation. These artists show us that we each have a unique spiritual journey that can flourish regardless of our religious allegiances.” There will be a Q & A with director Nathan Florence after the screening, which is free to the community.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Watch for more information on Hike for Hunger, as well as a closer look at the good work the Christian Center does for our community, in the coming days.

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 America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. 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 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Nonprofit Highlight: KPCW

August 16, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Life in Park City is different – in a good way – for so many reasons. We’re nestled in the mountains, surrounded by the world’s best ski resorts and more than 400 miles of award-winning trails… it goes on and on. Near the top of that list is the fact that we have three extremely dedicated, hyper-local news services, which provide our community with news, information, and events. We’re lucky to have KPCW, the Park Record, and Park City TV, in our ears, at our fingertips and within eyeball-distance whenever we need them.The nonprofit entity among these gems is KPCW, the local NPR affiliate located right here on Swede Alley in Park City. It’s an unassuming building, located right above a liquor store, as afternoon host of The Local View (and Park City institution) Randy Barton likes to point out and joke about during broadcasts. All we’re saying is, if he knows you and you go in there during his broadcast, you might have a whole listening audience learning about it.

You can see the studio from the street, and it looks especially cozy with its warm lights burning bright in the early morning hours, when Leslie Thatcher is manning the booth for Local News Hour, or when our small town is coated in a thick layer of snow under storm clouds. And while the station’s coverage is familiar – it’s definitely taken a harder-edged approach as it works to provide the most, best news to the community.

MISSION

On its website, KPCW lists its mission as “to serve Summit and Wasatch Counties with local news, information, entertainment and emergency alerts through its broadcast signal and digital media platforms.” And here’s the reason we like KPCW so very much: the station is also committed to using its power help other nonprofit organizations in our community succeed. And do that – it does. KPCW provides interviews and airs more than 26,000 (yes, 26 THOUSAND) free public service announcements each year to promote nonprofit events and programming.

KPCW first hit the airways on July 2 of 1980, and you can find it on your dial at 91.7 FM. The station also live streams its programs to listeners – who listen on six out of seven continents. Can’t stream live or tune in? KPCW has been upping its website coverage (reporters post full story and interview transcriptions now!) social media game. Find them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find content similar to their on-air services: news, information, and entertainment.

PROGRAMMING

Each day, KPCW programs five hours of in-depth local news and interviews – and works relentlessly to bring you, specifically, reports from city and county government meetings. Of course, everyone knows, too, to turn on KPCW for up-to-the minute broadcasts and information on local emergencies, road conditions and weather. You can find the daily schedule HERE.

The schedule also includes National Public Radio programming. You’ll hear NPR’s Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and TED Radio Hour, along with World News Service from the British Broadcasting Corporation (overnight through 5 a.m.).

And throughout the rest of the day, an expanded music rotation features thousands of songs from the 1970’s through today. These songs are spun by *more than **50** volunteer DJ’s, some who have been with the station for more than 30 years. KPCW calls its music format “SOSNSCSB: Something Old, Something New, Something Covered, Something Blues.” Ha.

SERVICES

KPCW Underwriters – These are the local businesses who understand the importance of local public radio and support KPCW in significant ways. The Colony is proud to support KPCW as an underwriter of the station!*

Public Service Announcements (PSAs) – Community programs and events put on by local non-profits. Any and all 501(c)3 non-profits may have up to three (3) PSAs run at a time for free. Each PSA will be read by our DJs and news hosts for up to two weeks.

Lost & Found – Submit your lost or found item to be read on air for free. Entries will run for 7 days, or when you let us know of the reunion, whichever comes first. (These are our personal favorites. Nothing beats hearing Randy do the lost-and-founds each afternoon.

Event Calendar – Events submitted by non-profits from around town. Free to submit.
*We pulled this info directly from the website – couldn’t have put it better ourselves.

EVENTS & SUPPORT

This Friday, KPCW is kicking off its Summer 2018 Pledge Drive with a complimentary community event called Cole Sport Back Alley Bash. Held at Park City’s iconic Town Lift Plaza off of Historic Main Street, adjacent to The Bridge Café, KPCW brings in live entertainment for adults *and* kiddos, plus food and beverages available for purchase. All proceeds, of course, are invested directly back into the station.

The event is a fun one each summer, warm-but-usually-not-too-hot, catching up with old friends while enjoying whiskey lemonades from High West Whiskey, and watching the kids and puppies run around at the base of the Town Lift Bridge. Oh, and we buried the lede: KPCW will announce the winner for an opportunity drawing. The grand prize this year is practically an all-expenses-paid vacation: three nights for FOUR people of glamping in a luxury tent at Conestoga Ranch at Bear Lake, including breakfast and dinner each day. You can buy tickets for the drawing and discover more information about the event here.

SUMMER PLEDGE DRIVE & ONLINE AUCTION

The Back Alley Bash brings us directly to the Summer Pledge Drive. The drive is a bi-annual occurrence, one is held in winter, too, and a superhuman undertaking. The station is loaded to the gills with volunteers and special guests in-studio and the air reverberates from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with ringing phones, a cowbell, and, for the really big donations, a gong.

It’s a blast to participate in, and it’s the way KPCW raises most of its funding for the year. To donate, call 435-649-9004, or donate online. Personally, our favorite way to donate is through the online auction. These are items donated by community businesses, and all proceeds raised go to KPCW. As of this writing, there are nearly 100 items up for bid, including things like two Epic Local Passes, an adorable aqua cruiser bike from Storm Cycles, and those ever-so-popular 3-night lodging deals from Dog in Haus.

Another (but not the final!) way to support, year-round, is to join the Broadcasters Club. Benefits of this group include fabulous branded gear, exclusive member events (ski days, golf outings, social VIP affairs, etc.) and provide a way for you to ensure KPCW remains firmly anchored in our Park City community.

A huge thank you to KPCW for the myriad services you provide to our community and the work you do to lift up and support our vast nonprofit and local business network!

Park City Nonprofit Highlight: Summit Community Gardens

August 1, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

The Secret Garden
Most people we ask have heard of the Summit Community Gardens (SCG) – but don’t know where to find it. That ends now! This 1.5 acre plot of land, flourishing with crops of fresh flowers, vegetables, herbs, and shrubs, with a compost pile and honeybees, to boot, is a marvelously otherworldly experience – and one you won’t need to unearth a key to unlock (the garden is open to the community from dawn until dusk).

Where To Find It
SCG is located in Matt Knoop Memorial Park – another terrific community area! The park is tucked behind the Winter Sports School – just keep driving! You’ll locate the Community Gardens at 4056 Shadow Mountain Dr — that’s off of Old Ranch Road.

“Gather, Learn, And Grow”
The eight-foot fence surrounding the garden – is to keep Park City veggie predators like elk, deer, and moose away from your plot – and the goodies you grow there.

The garden is set up in a wheel, with information keys scattered throughout. We recommend you stroll along the paths first, breathe deeply and take it all in, and then take another tour around while you pause to read up on each section.

SCG put down roots with Summit County, The Summit Land Conservancy, and Basin Recreation in 2015. An agricultural easement on the land led the partners to create the garden on 1.5 acres in the central Snyderville Basin location. As its website states, “Summit Community Gardens is a nonprofit organization founded on the principle and mission to build and strengthen our community by educating, empowering, and providing an opportunity for people to grow their own food successfully and sustainably.” Just a few years in, and we’d say these gardens are already a successful destination for our community to “gather, learn, and grow.”

Herbs, Sensory, Pollinator, Fire Wise, and Kids’ Gardens
The Perennial Herb and Sensory space is the first you see when you walk in and grows herbs like Sage, Thyme, and Chives. These grow back year after year, along with sensory treats like Lavender. Future plans include Lamb’s Ear, for you to touch, and native grasses for you to listen to as they rustle in the wind.

Adjacent to this area is the Perennial Pollinator zone, filled with climate-appropriate (aka low-water needs) perennial plants, shrubs, and flowers. The root that connects these — that they all attract and feed native, valuable pollinators and our community is encouraged to grow these in their own gardens to entice bees and butterflies.

Next up – the ever-important Fire Wise Garden. The SCG staff is quick to note that no plant is fireproof – the low-water-needs plants in this zone are not fire-accelerants, and may even be able to withstand flames in some cases. How is this possible? Some of the plants have natural soaps and oils – which decrease flammability. Others have high moisture content and grow low to the ground (discourages climbing fire). Plants in this garden include Ice Plant, Soapwort, and Snow in Summer.

Our favorite stop follows – the Kids’ Garden. It’s under construction but is already magical. Kids can walk right in through the fun tunnel entrance (adults will need to duck), or one of the other entry paths. All of them lead to what will eventually be a center wigam, to be built from Uinta Mountain willow brushes. The wigwam will create a secret shady gathering space, and the kids’ garden will also feature areas for music, building, games, and discovery. The area is enclosed by a living fence, and, as you can see, there’s already a pretty special gathering area in place – one worthy of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven, for sure.

Community Garden Pods
After you relive your youth for a bit in the Kids’ area, you’ll discover the Community Garden Pods. Plot members have about a 4’ x 16’ bed to tend. Part of the fun is to walk from plot to plot to see the different styles, plants, and flowers that grow. The raised wooden beds were created for our community members who deal with disabilities or who have trouble bending low.

Bees
There’s a beehive at SCG! The “Horizontal Top Bar” hive design means that the bees are able to build a suitable home at their own speed – and provides an observation window which doesn’t disturb the bees. The community is invited to check in on the bees through the observation window at any time.

A New Gold Standard for Utah Green
It’s no secret that lawns are water hogs, but there’s a low-water, low-maintenance option for grass seed! You can see the No Mow Mix, from High Country Gardens, in the Lawn Space. In addition to not needing much water (except in dry spells), when you skip mowing, the grass blades get extra soft and swirly.

Demonstration Garden: Nibbles | Greens | Root Veggies | Cover Crops | Flowers
The Demonstration Garden is grown and maintained by garden staff. Seasonal and climate-appropriate fruits, vegetables, flowers, and cover crop are grown here, and much of what is produced will be donated to other local nonprofits and food banks.

Be sure to stop into the Nibble Garden, though, since the community is welcome to grab some nibbles! Snap peas and beans, cherry tomatoes and strawberries are there for the nibblin’ right now, with more varieties to come as the garden grows.

There are so many ways for you to enjoy SCG and its blooming community. The first event is SOON – Wednesday, August 1!

A worthy cause to ensure this community treasure continues to blossom for decades to come!

The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest gated ski-in, ski-out community in the United States.

In winter, enjoy exclusive ski and snowboard access to one of America’s largest mountain resorts, Park City. 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 minutes to Park City’s historic Main Street, home to the Sundance Film Festival and world-class dining and shopping.

Music in the Meadow

July 25, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Music in the Meadow | July 2018

The first-ever Music in the Meadow was an evening filled with lovely music, delicious food, and a bull moose sighting! The event was held in the Meadow Lakes area of The Colony as a way to introduce the community to the magic of the upper meadow.

The bull moose made itself at home in the lakes during Music in the Meadow.

About 150 guests were ferried by golf cart to Homesite 270 (one of our favorites in the Meadow Lakes) and enjoyed music from Rogers & Buffington, food by Ellie’s, wine by Old Town Cellars, and homemade Ice Cream by Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Co. Photos were captured by Eclectic Brew Productions.

Meadow Lakes Homesites
The Meadow Lakes Homesites are the initial release of our final chapter here at The Colony – Phase 5. The 12 spectacular homesites skirt the upper meadow of The Colony and offer flat building pads, incredible old-growth forest, and a remarkable water feature with five lakes and a waterfall-dotted stream. Just 5 Meadow Lakes Homesites remain:

267 White Pine Canyon Road
This homesite is tucked among old-growth aspens on a partially-wooded corner lot. It’s an easy build lot with big sky views and ski-in, ski-out access directly outside your door. Such close ski proximity means hiking and biking trails are just as close when the snow melts. Homesite 267 is perhaps the best value to be found in The Colony.
267 WPC Rd: 4.44 acres | Offered at $1.9 million

268 White Pine Canyon Road
Some of the largest aspens in The Colony are found on this homesite, which has exceptional views of the meadow water features. The homesite is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, with remarkable ski-in, ski-out access to multiple ski runs.
268 WPC Rd: 2.40 acres | Offered at $2.6 million

Homesite 270 is quiet and private, with marvelous down-meadow views.

269 White Pine Canyon Road
More spectacular down-meadow views overlooking the meadow lakes are found from this homesite, which is partially-wooded with mature, healthy pine and aspen trees. This homesite has terrific ski-in, ski-out access from Quicksilver Gondola and the closest proximity to hiking and biking meadow trails.
269 WPC Rd: 2.42 acres | Offered at $2.5 million

270 White Pine Canyon Road
This is one of our very favorite homesites in The Colony – and the setting for our Music in the Meadow event. The setting is naturally extremely private, with some of the best down-meadow views available, with ski access.
270 WPC Rd: 3.33 Acres | Offered at $2.8 million

273 White Pine Canyon Road
An extremely private corner cul-de-sac homesite, due to its heavily forested setting. It has some of the oldest-growth, largest aspen trees in all of The Colony, and is one of our larger remaining lots available with, of course, ski-in, ski-out access.
273 WPC Rd: 4.74 acres | Offered at $1.9 million

Finally, congratulations to Darhl Bova, winner of our raffle for dinner for four this winter at The Colony Yurt!
