Looking for an easy and fun venue for the entire family? Park Silly is an open-air market and street festival all in one that features unique and eclectic-local and regional arts and crafts. There are also musical acts throughout the day on two separate stages. You'll find performance art, antiques, imports, and one-of-a-kind finds. And don't forget the delicious gourmet foods, and farmers market fruits and vegetables. And the best part of all is the full bar and beer garden at the bottom of Main Street, across from the main stage. We recommend the market's famous Bloody Marys and sit and enjoy some live music! The Silly Sunday Market is an event that is genuinely unique as our town.

Spring is here, and so are the chores that go along with it. Here are ten helpful tips for spring home maintenance.

  • Examine roof shingles to see if any were lost or damaged during winter. If your home has an older roof covering, you may want to start a budget for replacement. The summer sun can really damage roof shingles. Shingles that are cracked, buckled or loose or are missing granules need to be replaced. Flashing around plumbing vents, skylights and chimneys need to be checked and repaired by a qualified roofer.
  • Probe the Wood Trim, use a screwdriver to probe the wood trim around windows, doors, railings, and decks. Make repairs now before the spring rains do more damage to the exposed wood.
  •  Check for loose or leaky gutters.

A FROZEN WINTER WONDERLAND

Checking out Midway's famous Ice Castles should definitely be a must do on your winter to-do-list! No matter your age, you are sure to enjoy the grandness and specter of the famous Ice Castles in Midway, located at The Homestead Resort. There are currently six Ice Castle locations in the United States, including Midway.

The very first of the Ice Castles was built right here in Alpine, Utah, in the front yard of Ice Castle's founder, Brent Christensen. He was building an ice cave for his daughter and tried out an idea of spraying a wood frame with water. His daughter named the structure the “Ice Castles” and the name has stuck ever since.

A lot of hard work goes into creating these frozen wonders, each one of the Ice

Is there radon in your Park City home?

January is Radon Action Month. So what is Radon? And why is there a whole month of action for it? 

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem, this means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. You can’t see radon, you can’t smell it or taste it, hence the call to action. You and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure to radon at home, where you spend most of

Owners of the Treasure Hill Project and Park City Municipal Corporation announced a possible alternative to the proposed development at Creole Gulch and Mid Station. The purposed alternative will be contingent upon a voter-approved $24 million bond that would reduce development density by half.

If approved the agreement would provide the City’s acquisition of 50 percent of the project’s density, consisting of the entirety of the Sweeney family’s ownership in the property, by a voter-approved bond in November 2018, and a dramatic project redesign. The goal of the City Council is to immediately initiate a public process to consider approval of the settlement agreement no later than January 2018.

The proposed alternative would consist of the
