Park City Event Guide: Miners’ Day –> Monday, September 3rd

August 29, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

MINERS’ DAY
Monday, September 3

This year marks our town’s 122nd celebration of Miners’ Day! (And, in case you’re wondering, yes, the apostrophe goes *after* the s.) Each year, the Park City Rotary Club hosts an all-day festival of fun to honor our town’s mining heritage. Most activities and festivities happen along Historic Main Street, with the food featured at City Park. The Rotary Club estimates that more than 17,000 people enjoyed last year’s Miners’ Day merriment. Here’s the fun rundown for Monday, September 3:

7:30 – 9:30 AM →
Breakfast @ City Park
If you’re among the few who are up and at ’em before 8 a.m., you know how peaceful Park City feels at that time of the morning. So come out early – the breakfast begins at 7:30 – and enjoy some quiet time with a stack of pancakes, ham, eggs, hash browns, and more. The breakfast is provided by St. Mary’s Catholic Church and proceeds from the $5 per person feast go to help religious education programs (kids 4 and under eat for free). If you’re among the 5K runners, it’s a terrific way to fuel back up for your day of events!

8 AM →
Miners’ Day 5K @ City Park
Not beginning with breakfast? Start with the fun-run!

The Miners’ Day 5k (also known as the Bark City 5K) starts in City Park, loops through the trails, and ends right back where you started so you can grab food. The race is organized by the Park City Rotary Club. While the fast 5K course is pleasant enough, you’re encouraged to make things extra fun with a costume – and/or your dog! Strollers are also welcome; that group starts behind the other runners.

Proceeds from the 5K will be funneled back into our community in the form of a grant from the Rotary Club Park City.

10:45 AM →
World-Famous Running of the Balls @ Historic Main Street
You better get to Main Street early if you want a spot where you can actually *see* this event. It is PACKED with people. And yes, it gets its name from the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. This event, however, usually results in fewer injuries.

Anyone can “adopt” a yellow golf ball for $5 – or 5 for $20. The nearly 10,000 balls are released at the top of Main and shoot into a track. The first balls through the chute win INSANE prizes like season ski passes, hotel stays, fabulous dinners, and tons of other options. Dozens of additional prizes are given away for the close finishers. It’s no wonder people get so hyped up about this race. The best place to post up for the finish line is near the post office, and winners are posted in City Park and on the Miners’ Day website.

You can purchase your balls from any member of the Park City Rotary Club, on Historic Main Street on the day-of, and at the Park Silly Market the day before Miners’ Day!

11 AM →
Miners’ Day Parade @ Historic Main Street
The main event on Main Street for the day – this parade marches down Main, skips over to Park Ave., and finishes at City Park. It begins at 11 a.m., but if you’re running on Park City time and arrive a few minutes late you’ll likely still get to see everything!

11:30 AM →
Live Music – Changing Lanes Experience @ City Park Stage
The omnipresent Mountain Town Music is at it again, programming terrific live music for our community to enjoy together. At 11:30 a.m., you can enjoy the Changing Lanes Experience. If you’ve never seen this group, you will soon learn why they have “experience” in their name.

At 3, enjoy Memphis McCool – which can best be described as “power soul” music. The group creates all-new music in a modern take on soul and groove music.

Noon – 3 PM →
BBQ Lunch @ City Park
You can truly make this a day without having to head home at all – there are things to do, see, and eat all day long! Lunch will bring you back to City Park for a BBQ cookout courtesy of Kumbayah Kitchen. There will be beverages and brews (bring your ID, they *will* check), but bring your own blanket to enjoy the feast!

12:30 – 4 PM →
Family Fun @ City Park
If you’re going to stay out of the house all day, you’re going to need some stuff to keep the kids entertained. Luckily, Kids Races start at 12:30 p.m. in City Park. With running races, a sack race (gunny sacks provided), and a wheelbarrow race (we are cracking up just thinking about this one), there are races for little ones of all ages.

Photo courtesy parkcityminersday.org

No worries, there are also bouncy houses, crafting booths, a climbing wall, a fire truck (!), and, new this year, a dunk tank! Enjoy face painting, henna tattoos, a dog & cat adoption event, a shaved-ice shack, gourmet cotton candy, and Texas Twisters (described as a cold sweet blended fruit-based drink). We can only imagine (with slight trepidation) how exhausted the kiddos will be after a day of all this fun!

2 – 3:30 PM →
Mucking & Drilling Competition @ Skateboard Park parking lot
Wondering where the actual “miner” activities are in Miners’ Day? Show up at City Park for Mucking & Drilling and you won’t be in the dark anymore. Competitors come from all around the Mountain West to compete!

Photo courtesy parkcityminersday.org

Mucking is loading ore into an ore cart (using heavy machinery), and then dumping it as quickly as possible. A timer watches this carefully.

Drilling is when the competitors “manhandle” a huge compressed-air hammer drill and hoses to put two deep holes into a slab of rock in the shortest amount of time.

We’re told you need to arrive early to get a spot on the bleachers – and best of all, the event is free!

3 – 6 PM →
Skateboard Bowl Jam @ Skateboard Park
If skateboarding is more your speed, there’s also a competition for you to watch in that world! The contest is for both amateurs and pros, with prizes for each division. You *d0* need to register in advance, and helmets are required. You can find more information here.

Photo courtesy parkcityminersday.org

Whew. No wonder Miners’ Day has been going strong for 122 years. Get out there (reminder to utilize our free public transportation or your bikes!), have fun, and be safe!

And listen to this – the goal is to actually *harvest* the hops with the hikers’ help! Once that happens, this fall, a limited edition open space beer will be brewed and sold through Wasatch Brewery, with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to the Land Conservancy. If you ask up, that all ties up pretty nicely. Bottoms up!

Park City Event Guide: August 3-5 –> Kimball Arts Festival

August 3, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Kimball Arts Festival weekend is already upon us! The Arts Fest is in its 49th year – and is one of the top-ranked art festivals in the entire country. The three-day event brings THOUSANDS of visitors to Park City (pack your patience if you head out in your car – and plan to use public transportation or your bike whenever possible!) and features 225 artists (photo courtesy: Historic Main Street Alliance).

The event also serves as Kimball Art Center’s largest fundraiser. Money raised from the Arts Fest funds things like art education and curriculum in our public schools, after-school arts programs, scholarships for low-income children to participate in art classes and camps, and complimentary access for our community to experience gallery exhibitions.

Food Trucks, Artisan Tasting, & Beer Garden
Food truck options have expanded this year! You’ll find Banh Mi Time, Black’s Sliders, Brugesmobile, Fatty Tuna Sushi & Rame, and Kona Ice at the top of Main Street. More food will be lined up along Heber Avenue – these are the Artisan Tastings, which feature products from local producers. Burton’s Maplewood Farm, C&C’s Candies, JulieAnn Caramels, and Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream, Co will all be selling their wares.

Don’t forget about the beverages! Three beer and wine gardens will be scattered throughout the Festival, along with six locations for soda, teas, flavored waters, and other beverages.


SCHEDULE

  • Friday, August 3 → 5 – 9 p.m. (free entry for Summit County locals with proof of residency)
  • Saturday, August 4th → 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
  • Sunday, August 5th → 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

Studio on Main
Interactive, hands-on activities geared toward teens 13 years and up – and adults! You can create things like clay bowls, unique prints, Park City postcards, contemporary embroidery, tiny paintings, and wire sculptures! It’s just $5 dollars to participate – and you get to take your masterpiece home with you.

Kids’ Art Area
Speaking of masterpieces, there are plenty of art options for the little ones, too! Free face painting for all, along with fun $3 activities (4 for $10!) like creating with clay, figures in felt, and a festival scavenger hunt, are available to take care of any complaints of boredome. These activities could keep the kids crafting all day long!

Gallery Stroll
10 galleries along Main Street will have special exhibitions, food, and refreshments to supplement the action outside. Pop in and cool off at galleries like Earthlight Galleries, Bret Webster Images, Park City Fine Art, and Art Elevated.

Live Music
More than 30 musical acts are scheduled to perform over the three-day event, across three stages: the Kimball Stage, Miner’s Stage, and the Food Truck Stage. No matter where you are on Main Street, you’ll be able to bop along to music from acts like Motherlode Canyon Band, Streetcorner Boogie, Courtney Spalding, Kings of 88, Mountain Boogaloo, and Brothers Brimm.

Festival After Dark
Some of the most fun during Arts Fest weekend happens after dark, of course. There are a number of options to stay and play – see Aiko at OP Rockwell TONIGHT, or hit up the Deer Valley Music Festival if that’s more your speed. Saturday night, the Sundance Institute will host a free Sundance screening in City Park (make sure you bring a blanket!). The movie, “Red Dog: True Blue” is family-friendly, and begins at dusk. And the fun doesn’t end there! On Sunday night, show your Arts Festival wristband to receive two-for-one lawn seats to see Lucia Micarelli! Show begins at City Park at 6 p.m.


 

I-80 EB will close completely on Friday night, from 8PM – 6AM. Plan ahead!

CLOSURES

Park City Library is closed all weekend, and, for obvious reasons, no Park Silly Sunday Market will be held. But – please be aware of this huge one – the construction work on I-80 will CONTINUE this evening. This means – I-80 EB will be COMPLETELY CLOSED to all traffic starting at 8 p.m. So if you’re out and about in Park City this evening and need to head back down the canyon to get home – you’ll need to use I-84 through Ogden or U.S. 40 to U.S. 189 through Provo Canyon. So please be aware of timing to avoid any travel headaches!

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.

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

Outdoor Painting Party
Wednesday, August 1
6:30 PM @ Summit Community Gardens
Step-by-step guidance for a garden-themed still life will be provided by The Paint Mixer. All you have to bring is a light jacket and your favorite beverage! (Open to all ages; $50 per painter; $10 of each ticket goes to support SCG.)

Summit County Community Farmers Market
Tuesday, August 14, August 28, September 11
11 AM – 6 PM @ Summit Community Gardens
A traditional farmer’s market presented by the Summit County Health Department, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, Utah State University Extension, Summit Community Gardens, and the Farmer’s Market Coalition. Several growers will be set up with fresh produce and – bonus! – car seat checks will be offered by health education staff.

Second Sundays in the Garden
August 12 & September 9
4 – 7 PM  @ Summit Community Gardens
A casual Sunday afternoon in the garden with live local music, garden education stations, local business spotlights, and good company. Bring a camp chair, beverages, and smiles! No tickets required, and this event is free. Kids are welcome, but please leave the dogs at home.

DIG IN with EATS Park City
Sunday, August 26
3 – 6 PM @ Summit Community Gardens
D.I.G. In! Is an annual community event hosted by EATS Park City and Summit Community Gardens. It features fresh, local, garden-to-table dinner, interactive fun, live music, and a stroll through the garden to see what’s growing. The party (open to any age) helps spread the love of healthy food and gardening.

Support
If you choose to support Summit Community Gardens, your donation will go toward things like enhancing the garden, community garden maintenance, educational and community events, water conservation efforts, and providing accessible raised beds for people with limited mobility. A worthy cause to ensure this community treasure continues to blossom for decades to come!
