Park City High School Class of 2020 yard signs are welcome sights on graduating students’ front years throughout our town.

Not only does this demonstrate Park City’s remarkable sense of community, but it serves as a reminder that we still have several occasions we need to find ways to celebrate, even in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to graduations, there are birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day coming up on May 10th.

In a foodie haven like Park City, residents are grateful to still have access to delicious, local cuisine.
