Show Chamber Made up with a bunch of noisy, and probably obnoxious revelers, joined in our silly antics and made us feel he enjoyed, rather than tolerated, our business. This is the feeling I think a lot of Park City visitors are going home with and we sincerely want to keep it that way. Knowing that this is the time of the year when tempers can begin to flare, smiles start to fade and service wither, we want to encourage business operators to show their appreciation to conscientious consci-entious employees.

But, we also know that when it is our turn to be a tourist we expect friendly and courteous service, and often our whole feeling about a place is influenced by the people we meet.
