It was the largest demonstration in Park City’s modern era. The Women’s March on Main was not designed as a protest against President Trump, but many who participated were displeased with him. Election, Treasure, Bonanza Flat made 2017 extraordinary JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Park City ends 2017 having witnessed 12 months of conflict, progress and, undoubtedly, change. It was clear as 2017 started it would be one of the crucial years of the skiing era. The mayor’s office was on the ballot and a major development battle appeared to be headed to a finale. But few would have been prepared for the largest demonstration in Park City’s history or the fall of a long-established transportation firm. The Park Record’s Top 5 Park City news items of 2017 follow. 5. ‘Love trumps hate’ It seemed almost certain even before Election Day 2016 that the Sundance Film Festival crowds in January of 2017 would mark the inauguration of whoever won the White House since the next president would be sworn into office during the festival. With Donald Trump’s victory, angst grew among the political left that has long been attracted to Sundance. Inauguration day, it quickly appeared, would be decidedly different in Park City than the celebratory atmosphere eight years earlier as Barack Obama was sworn into office, also during Sundance. It was initially unclear, though, what sort of gathering would be planned. By mid-January, just before Sundance opened, organizers promoting a range of issues important to the political left secured a City Hall permit to hold a demonstration on Main Street on the first Saturday of Sundance, typically one of the busiest days of the festival. They dubbed it the Women’s March on Main, aligning the event with numerous Women’s Marches across the country that day. Unlike other demonstrations over the years during Sundance focused on a spectrum of issues, attendance at the Women’s March on Main did not falter. A giant crowd later estimated to range between 7,000 and 9,000 people descended Main Street in what was by a wide margin the largest demonstration in Park City’s modern history. The people chanted “love trumps hate” and “love, not hate, makes America great” and eventually gathered for a rally on Swede Alley. Celebrities and Sundance-goers from outside of Utah joined a large contingent of Park City-area residents for the event. The event was not organized as an anti-Trump march, but many in the crowd were displeased the businessman was the president. “It’s not only about women’s rights, but it’s about human rights,” Doug Clyde, a Democratic member of the Summit County Council, said during an interview at the event. “The Please see Year, A-4 January 8 - February 18, 2018 Six Week Program includes: Express training sessions (45 min.) w/ Personal Trainers 10 training sessions a week to choose from - 1 to 10, it’s up to you!
