Show Thursday, December 6, 1979 par This Ride Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? If you are. you'll soon hear the old fashioned bells jingling from the reins of a sleigh taking riders on a romantic amble around the Park City Golf course. Newly tansplanted residents Mike and Joan-net Joan-net te Williams are now taking reservations for rides on both a sleigh and a hay wagon. The sleigh, which can hold two adults or four children, will take a half hour loop around the golf course with a driver, who will direct the mare outfitted with bells on the leisurely tour. The hay wagon ride will originate by the Grub Steak at Prospector Square and will take a changing route through the Park Meadows area and also will take about a half hour. The wagon, pulled by two 1,600-pound draft horses, can carry 30 people for an unusual party outing. "And, if you want to have a hot dog roast and a bonfire, we can accomodate that, too," says Jeannette. "We can take people out for a ride, then come back to hot dogs, hot chocolate and coffee cof-fee by a roaring bonfire. It's really a lot of fun!" The couple originally planned to offer carriage rides around the whole town, but they discovered an old-fashioned old-fashioned vehicle that would hold six adults costs in excess ex-cess of $3,200. But they say they have only postponed, not abandoned, those plans. They hope to have a good season this winter with the sleigh and hay wagon, and purchase a carriage in the spring for next year. The Williams said they aim to please, and are willing to negotiate with customers for rides in their neighborhood, or other customized adventures. For those who wish more cheer during their holiday rides, the Williams will provide a keg of beer, with a dollar Wireless Signs -n n Equipment Deal A major step in the complicated compli-cated process of putting Park City's non-commercial, community radio station on the air was taken last week. Friday, Community Wireless Wire-less of Park City signed a lease agreement whereby the non-profit corporation will obtain nearly all of the studio equipment it needs to go on the air. The lease was signed with Northwest Broadcasting Company, whose parent company, Northwest Energy Corporation, recently purchased pur-chased Salt Lake radio station KWHO AM and FM, Northwest is building a completely new facility for KWHO "Big band 93," and will lease Wireless nearly all of its old equipment when it moves to its new facility in December. "With this agreement, Wireless will have obtained almost all of the equipment it will need to get on the air," stated Community Wireless President Blair Feulner, who said the equipment would give wireless a well-equiped well-equiped "on-air" studio, production room and news room. "Northwest Energy should be commended for not only leasing Wireless thousands of dollars of broadcast equipment equip-ment at a very reasonable rate, but also for agreeing to donate the equipment to us at the end of the lease," continued Feulner, who along with the 13 members of the Wireless Board of Trustees Trus-tees has been working on the community radio project for over a year. signing the lease agreement for Northwest Broadcasting Company was Joseph N. Valley, vice-president, and KWHO station Manager Patrick Pat-rick Thomas. "Northwest Radio Broadcasting Broad-casting Company is pleased to assist Community Wireless Wire-less in putting the first local radio station on the air in Park City," commented Mr. Thomas, adding, "Northwest "North-west looks forward to eventually event-ually donating this equipment equip-ment to the non-profit radio group." Mr. Thomas continued: "The agreement with Wireless Wire-less is in the spirit of the community service-oriented policies of both Northwest Broadcasting and Northwest charged lor each person's glass. The keg can be toted along for the ride, or it can stand at the ready near the bonfire. Those wishing something warmer than beer to take on the ride are welcomed to use their imaginations. "This is a unique and fun thing to do in Park City." Jeannette remarked. "We're trying like mad to get it organized so we can really cater to the customers and show everyone a good time. Alter the hay ride, those groups that don't want to have a bonfire could just go right into the Grub Steak to continue their party over dinner." Running a horse-drawn ride in Park City does present some unusual problems, not the. least of which is how to deal with the large droppings left in the wake of the horse. "The city did ask us to help keep things cleaned up," Jeannette said laughingly. "It's not as big a problem as some people may think, and in the case of the golf course, I should think it would help!" The rides will run Tuesday through Sunday during the winter season from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The price of the sleigh ride is $2.50 for adults and $2 for kids under 15. The hay ride tickets are $3 for adults and $2.50 for riders under 15. A small extra charge is assessed for groups wishing a bonfire and dog roast, or for a keg of beer. With the full approval of the City Council and Mayor Jack Green, the Williams now are accepting reservations reser-vations for both the hay wagon and sleigh rides. If you'd like to take a ride with 29 or so friends, or an intimate in-timate tour reminiscent of a moonlit jaunt through Central Cen-tral Park, call Moana at 649-8200 649-8200 or Prospector Square visitors and Conference Center Cen-ter at 649-7100 for reservation, reser-vation, u , j j, j , r.m I Energy Corporations." Wireless will move the broadcast equipment up from Salt Lake to the studios in the Memorial Building in mid-December. In the meantime, mean-time, the radio group is appealing to local carpenters and construction crews to assist in building the walls in the station's studios. (See related story). As for the station's projec-, ted on-air date, Feulner said i that will depend on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, Wash-ington, D.C. and the success the group has raising money during the next six weeks. "Wireless's application is now being published in the-Congressional the-Congressional Register for comment. It comes off the .so-called 'cut-off list on December 14 and we should have the Construction Permit Per-mit from Washington shortly thereafter." "What that all means," Feulner explained, "Is that best possible case wouldfind us on the air in February, worst possible cause would be sometime in March." Before that can happen, however, Feulner said the non-profit group must raise about $10,000 to cover the engineering, construction and program acquisition costs for the station. A Community Wireless brochure bro-chure will be appearing in the post office boxes of residents this week asking for the names of those who wish to volunteer to broadcast broad-cast for the station. The station will provide the training and assist persons in obtaining their FCC licenses. li-censes. Those interested should clip the last page of the brochure, fill in the required information and mail it to P.O. Box 1372, Park City. In addition, the brochure requests a $5.00 contribution which will help put the station on the air and entitle those who contribute to vote for, or become, members of the station's Board of Trustees Trus-tees and Program Advisory Board. Other fundraisers, town-meetings, town-meetings, providing input on programming, and training seminars will begin in January Jan-uary and a contest to pick the station's call letters will be held in the next fv weeks.
