Event will offer a melding of art and business in upper Old Town reaches By MATT JAMES Of the Record staff When the Park City Literary Festival begins on Friday evening it will make its home in the Egyptian Theatre and the businesses of upper Main Street. It comes to that location as the result of contributions from a variety of sources. "The biggest support we've had is private, individual sponsors and three grants," said Elizabeth Swank, past president of the Park City Summit County Arts Council and that organization's representative on the Literary Festival board. Originally, Swank said the organizers of the Literary Festival were aiming for a 2006 debut, but with a few large private donations and the grants - from the Utah Humanities Council, the Summit County Transient Room Tax and the Park City Chamber/Bureau - the festival organizers changed their minds. "In February, we basically decided we could do it this year." said Swank. That set a whole collection of wheels turning, which will bring the festival to Old Town this weekend. While the festival had long preferred to base itself on and around Main Street, its self-imposed restriction to upper Main Street came this year. And while for 2005 the majority of the festival's support came from governmental and private sources, it still made a dedicated effort to include area businesses in its mix. That started with the festival's base of operations.. "The upper Main Street [location] stems from the fact that our headquarters is the Treasure Mountain Inn," Swank said. With that in mind, the Literary Festival's organizers simply examined the desired scope of the event and concluded that a relatively centralized location would be best. "You just look at it and say. 'How can we make this work so we're not all over town,'" said Swank. "Logistically, for the first year, we had to focus on what we knew we could do." So it only made sense to include the area's businesses. Thea Leonard, owner and operator of the Treasure Mountain Inn with her husband, Andy Beerman, said that TMI aimed to be a part of the festival from the start. "In a nutshell, a couple years ago, Karen Dallett [executive director of the Literary Festival] came to us and proposed this idea," said Leonard. "We sort of told her than when she had the support and the focus, to put us down as sponsors." Leonard said that her company's support was contingent one thing. Please see Lit Fest, C-4 ART BY PEG BOOELL The Park City Literary Festival will run from Sept. 9-11 at locations around upper Main Street. Most festival events are free.
