Friday vening to set the wheels in motion for what they hope will be an' artistically and financially successful festival this summer. Objectives One of the main objectives of the Aug. 14-15 festival will be to raise funds for the Chamber. In the past, the festival has served as a moneymaker for participating par-ticipating artists and local merchants only. With organizational responsibility shifting from the Park City Art Festival Foundation to the Chamber, an .effort to upgrade the .quality of the festival, will be coupled with the moneymaking aspect as prime goals. To. help achieve these goals, the Chamber has appointed Joan Seman as manager of the 7th annual festival. Mrs. Seman, who will be paid on a commission basis, has had experience in organizing trade shows in California. History Sheila Ivers, who will act as liaison between the manager and the Chamber, briefly reviewed- the history of the festival. She noted the climb from a first year attendance of approximately 10,000 people to the excess of 200,000 people attending last summed sum-med , ' -Ivers observed that "not much planning" went into the earlier efforts and that problems have arisen the last two years due to attempts at . "upgrading" the affair. "We hurt a lot of people's feelings," Ivers said in, reference to the jury system employed to subjectively select participants. "People who were in the festival' for five years were eliminated by the judges." Ivers characterized last year's festival as "bigger and better than ever" and said, "we would like to go from there." Alan Crooks, who was subsequently appointed chairman of the Eligibility Committee, questioned the wisdom of a strict jury procedure. "If some little old lady in tennis shoes wants to display her work, fine," Crooks said. "You are not an exhibition, you are a fair. This is supposed sup-posed to be a fun thing.' Categories During a Sunday night meeting, Crooks and his committee sought to dimish the jurying import while raising the caliber of the festival by eliminating some categories of work and limiting others. The committee will recommend to the Chamber's board of directors that turquoise jewelry, leather goods, any type of garment, feather flowers, beaded jewelry, candles, crocheting; knitting, shell craft, millinery, decoupage, velvet painting and any commercially com-mercially . or kit produced works not be allowed entry. , In addition, the committee will suggest that the number of macrame and carpentry displays be limited and that no dealers or agents be allowed to operate booths. Also, it will be proposed that artists and craftsmen only be permitted to display works in the field in which they were judged. In the past, some artists accepted in one discipline have devoted the majority of their space to unrelated works. Finances As for the financial structure of the festival, the continued on page 3 TICKETS PLEASE Burglars took an estimated $26,000 in lift tickets and ticket vouchers . from the Park City Ski Corporation's ticket sales office Thursday night or early Friday morning. mor-ning. Although the burglars escaped undetected, the vouchers, which comprised 80 percent of the theft, are unredeemable according to Resort officials. - . New Door PCSC Treasurer Merle Huseth said the burglars apparently gained entrance to the ticket sales area by means of a door which was recently installed but unfinished. un-finished. A ten-foot door had been erected separating the ski school section in the lower level of the ticket building from the sales and administrative ad-ministrative area. However, the ceiling at the point of construction is 16 feet high and- the six foot difference had been left unobstructed. Huseth theorized that the thieves entered the building throughout the ski school door, clifcbed over the new door and then broke into the ticket sales room. Numbered The Resort treasurer noted that the vouchers taken are sequentially numbered and can be easily spotted. "We know the numbers and will be able to abort any , attempt at redeeming the stolen, vouchers," Huseth said.. This ease of recognition prompted Huseth to observe, '.'We consider our loss to negligible, if anything." He added that the burglars . continued on page 4 WITHER Unsettled with Increasing chances of showers Friday and Saturday mainly north.
