Word About Town

Longtime Park City resident Suzy Hanney has been named the new publisher of Park City Magazine. Suzy replaces former publisher Dixie Geisdorf, who retired in July after 26 years of service. Hanney comes to Park City Magazine from a 15-year career in media and marketing and has served for the past four years as director of underwriting for Park City's KPCW, an NPR affiliate.  Of her new position, Hanney says, "Since I'll be only the third publisher in 26 years at Park City Magazine, I take my new position very seriously. I'm thrilled to be able to maintain my community relationships here in Park City and to join the magazine's talented, committed staff in making such a highly regarded publication even better."

The Park City Kimball Arts Festival is looking for volunteers to help out on August 6th, 7th, and 8th. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the festival and enable the Kimball Art Center to continue to bring a top-ten, top-quality arts festival to Park City. Details, positions, times, perks and registration on line at kimballartcenter.org.

This year the festival will showcase a free screening of Mary and Max, presented by the Sundance Film Series at the City Park @ 9:00 pm. This clay-mation feature by the Academy Award-winning team behind Harvie Krumpet is a simple friendship story about two very different pen-pals. Mary and Max's friendship takes us on a journey that explores autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, agoraphobia, and obesity, to name a few topics, each penned with love and compassion. Pack a picnic for this free, public event.


On July 15th, Park City Ghost Tours launched its first guided tour on Historic Main Street. After months of research and attempts at contacting the undead, the owners of Park City Ghost Tours (Rob and Lela Newey and Erik Hutchins) are now divulging their findings to Park City locals and tourists. "There could be no better place to hunt and locate ghosts than Park City. The history of mining accidents, gun fights and murders equates to dozens of spirits stuck in this world," says researcher and ghost hunter Erik Hutchins. Tours leave every day at 11:00am and every night at 8:00pm from Miner's Park (across the street from 412 Main Street). If you would like more information, email info@parkcityghosttours.com or visit www.parkcityghosttours.com.
