Show when I am in Park City. One interesting feature in Park City (along with many others) is the Library which I love to go to and look over their collection of books. But of course it being Sunday it wasn't open. Sorry we missed you, Ros-lyn Ros-lyn but the time got late and we had to be on our way. Be sure to stop in her place, The Antique Floral. Her penny candy always "gets to me," along with her many other antiques and beautiful floral arrangements. arrange-ments. Lynx Langford, has given me so much of the history of Park City (he should write a book on his boyhood memories of the town) and I always have to share my jaunts with him to Park City. He can tell some hair-raising tales. We have finally started to build our home in Park City for my hide-away to get away from the stress and strain of the weeks publishing of our three weeklies. The new nine. holes are beginning be-ginning to take shape making the golf course an 13 hole course and several condominiums con-dominiums are being built in that area. The autumn colors are com-, ing into view and the mountains are taking on the beauty of a fabulous painting. PARK CITY FUN DAY By Louise McConaughy A group of us from Morgan went to Park City Sunday to enjoy the Hunt Breakfast. Now the only thing wrong with the Hunt Breakfast, served in the beautiful dining room of Treasure Trea-sure Mt. Inn, is that there is too much tempting food and one leaves "stuffed to the gills." Sorry I couldn't find the charming Jeanne Gee, manager of Treasure Mt. Inn, to say hello to her. She always addresses ad-dresses me as Weezie (my nickname) and is fun to talk to, and makes me feel at home. Alice Terry O'Neil, a lovable lov-able oldtim er, was "holding down the fort," of the Chamber of Commerce-Park Record office of-fice and chatted with us and made us feel welcome. Our office of-fice manager, Eleanor Bennett wasn't there. But after all she lias to have some time "off duty." We were intrigued with the glass blower and surrounded him asking him if lie would "blow" for us. (A feature story about him by Eleanor Bennett is in this week's issue of The Record.) He is of German descent des-cent (like me) and was very accommodating and charming and "blew" a delicate swan for us. We stood with our mouths open to see him form the glass into this delicate creature. I became so excited I knocked the leaves off of one of his palm trees, setting on the shelves, (with a glass elephant standing near the tree, which put me in tears.) But he soothed my humiliation by saying, "don't feel badly, I can mend it." I did offer to pay the damages but he graciously declined my offer. Now that man I like. My 'guests" Mary Williams, Ruby Dickson, and Margaret Nielsen gave me dirty looks and told the gentleman, they didn't know me, or how I happened to be hanging around them. Mary asked him to make her two little mushrooms and it was amazing to watch him form them into two delightful colorful miniature mushrooms. We went to visit the beautiful Bloom Gift Shop and Carolyn met us at the door and showed us around and told us the history his-tory of some of the exquisite and fun-things she has stocked in this delightful shop. I love her friendliness and easy laughter laugh-ter that borders on a giggle. We stopped at the New Park Hotel which is undergoing renovations and were interested in the unique chairs and table in the upper level dining room. There is also a downstairs dining place with the kitchen of copper trimmings. We went to the Silver King Lodge and Bill Blonquist talked to us and explained to us, as we questioned him, on the new building yet not finished aside the swimming pool. He is making mak-ing a one bedroom apartment and an outdoor place to dance and extending the barbecue patio, where one brings their own steaks and enjoy the outdoor out-door mountain air. He is feeling feel-ing fine following a set back he had some time ago prior to his heart attack. Glad to know the Emporium is open again, managed by a young couple, whose name escapes es-capes me. This is a fun place to browse around in with the many antiques dating back to the '80's. The friendly young man who has a shop of Indian jewelry and juniper wood mounted in frames and what have you, was delightful to see. He is also a stone cutter and showed us some beautiful diamonds he has collected, along with many other things too numerous to mention. I asked about Mrs. Rhea Hurley and was told she is "going strong" and was visiting her son and family in Tremon-ton. Tremon-ton. One of these days I'll catch you on the run Mrs. Hurley to tell you hello. Park City has never seemed quite the same to me since the passing of Pop Jenks and I always feel sad and miss him |
