By DAN BISCHOFF Of the Record staff Independence Day - the celebration of America's freedom on July 4 brings images of fireworks, parades and barbecues. Main Street will be crowded next Tuesday with floats, celebrating spectators and music. Oblivious to the masses however, are the people who keep the festivity's pulse pumping. For the last 28 years the Park City Ambassadors have been organizing the city's Fourth of July events. "We're invisible," said Bill Daniloff, this year's parade chairman of the Park City Ambassadors. "It's the biggest thing that we do." Spotted throughout the crowd will be ambassador volunteers in red polo shirts. They've been planning the parade - on their own dime - since last fall, a party which grows every year. "It's becoming a huge project, it's not quite the Rose Bowl, but it's big," Daniloff said. "We think we're putting on the biggest party of the year." In the last month, Daniloff, who also works full time running his own business, is working tirelessly to present a quality celebration. "I'm putting in probably 40 hours a week in June," Daniloff said. Throughout the year, Daniloff, co-chair Saundi Stone, co-chair Kathy Herschberg and other volunteers meticulously organize the event. They do everything from staging, handling crowd control, booking and securing entertainment, managing the parade, serving food and beverages and cleaning up afterward.

COURTESY OF LESLIE HARLOW Artwork by Homer Clark, a friend of the Park City International Music Festival, Howard Hughes former doctor and violin maker. By DAN BISCHOFF Of the Record staff After 22 years, the Park City International Music Festival has grown into a world-class event. Some of the most talented artists in the country are looking forward to playing in Park City next week. "They love to come and play and love to play with their peers and friends, that's the real secret of the festival," said Leslie Harlow, violinist and organizer of the event. •'They just love to come here. They come for way below their normal fees. In fact they start contacting us. Their agents don't contact us, they contact us personally. It's a different kind of feeling entirely." This summer's festival opens with the first Park City concert on July 5 at Saint Mary's Church at 8 p.m. featuring renowned virtuoso violinist Charles Castleman. "Castleman was a child prodigy who has continued to wow audiences throughout his career. He has performed as soloist with all the great orchestras around the world and recently returned from performing recitals in Sydney, Australia in May," Harlow said. Students come from around the world travel to study the violin with Castleman at the famed Eastman School of Music in Please see Music, C-4 CDmiso $2^.00 577 Main Street 435-615-0300 www. w3 bso.com Reservations Available Online off witn tne [ urcnase of Cafe 2 i ntrees Introducirv SUNDAY 5RLTNCH Valid June , 2OO6 c,* Benedict, Banana Buttermilk.
