The Park City Farmers Market has passed the midway point of the season at its new location at Park City Mountain Resort Mountain Silver King Lot, and Volker Ritzinger, founder and coordinator, is pleased, regardless of some technological glitches. “It’s been super,” Ritzinger said. “I am surprised that so many people are showing up here, because our Google Map location still shows the (previous location at Canyons Village), so there is still some confusion. But people are figuring it out.” The market had to move from the its 17-year home at the Canyons Village cabriolet parking lot to PCMR due to construction at the former. Initially, Ritzinger was uneasy about the transition. “I was nervous, because you never want to change something that has been successful and easily accessible,” he said. “At Canyons, we were just off the highway.” Ritzinger tried to schedule the market at Canyons this year. “There was just too much going on, so Vail found me another place,” he said. “I have such a good relationship with Vail. They have been so good to me.” TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Shion McWilliams, 3, prepares for impact as a giant bubble falls over her during the Park City Farmers Market.

This year’s market is on track to featured nearly 100 farmers and vendors before it closes the season in October, Ritzinger said.
