Show Concessionaires Plan Feast of Food for Festival ing there provides more of an incentive to go all the way to the top of the street" Toomey said adding artists had complained in the past about less foot traffic and fewer sales the higher their locations of Main St. Although Main St. restaurants restau-rants and bars will not be allowed to sell refreshments on the street in front of their establishments, many have applied for booths and still others have planned special easy to serve menus for inside their respective places of business. At the bottom of Main St. festival goers can nibble on egg rolls for $1.25 or sweet and sour pork with fried rice for $2.25 at the China Ridge Restaurant's booth, or they can step up the League of Women Voters' booth and sample Nachos with cheese sauce and peppers for 75 cents and $1. The Yarrow is serving stuffed pita bread sandwiches for $2.95 at their lower location and for just snacks, the Park City Pre-School Pre-School will be supplying suckers, cookies, lemonade and balloons from 25 to 50 cents. There will be roughly half as many food booths in this year's Park City Art Festival than last, but according to festival director Sean Toomey, Too-mey, the quality and variety of the offerings should be better and available in a much more comfortable and organized manner. A complaint often echoed in the wake of last year's festival was that there was just too much food. With over 30 food concessions on the street last year there was approximately one place to eat for every five artist booths at the festival. Some commented it seemed more like a food fair than an art festival. This year there are only 18 food concessions which will offer a good variety of sustenance within a broad range of prices. Toomey said the festival committee did not restrict the number of food concessions conces-sions this year but rather increased the price of a booth which effectively weeded out the "marginal and less serious" purveyors. Toomey added all applicants for food booths were asked to submit a sample menu of their respective offerings. He said they never told concession- airs what and what not they could serve, but occasionally made suggestions if they found too many people planning on serving similar menus. hot dogs, popcorn, popsicles, suckers, licorice and ice cream from 25 cents to $2.10.

St. Lukes Episcopal Church will be selling home-made doughnuts and the Park City Pizza Company will offer cheese and pepperoni pizza slices for $1 and soft pretzels for 50 cents. The U.S. Ski Association will be dispensing frozen yogurt cones for 75 cents at the bottom of the street and the Root Seller, as in past years will sell mineral water and smoothies. The Park City Softball League plans to sell barbequed chicken legs for $1 and corn on-the-cob for 75 cents. The Mountain Fare, also located at the bottom of the street, has a lengthy menu including includ-ing hot dogs $1.25, shish-ke-bobs $1 .50, fruit 75 cents and cookies for 50 cents. The Park City Fire District plans to sell hot dogs and the Summit County Sheriff's Patrol plans to offer ice cream bars and soda pop for 35 cents. All other food booths are selling drinks ranging from plain soda pop to lemonade and sun tea. The only beer concession on the street excluding restaurants with outdoor decks, will be operated by the Rugby Club in the lot immediately south of the Park Record.

Miners Delight is offering Toomey said this year the food booths will be congre gated in two principal locations rather than strewn randomly up the street as in the past. Food booths this year will be located either at the bottom of Main St. in front of the Kimball Art Center or at the top in the lot across from Treasure Mountain Moun-tain Inn. The upper food concessions are located adjacent adja-cent to the large performing stage area at the top of Main St. and the lower booths are near the smaller stage at the Kimball Art Center courtyard. court-yard. In addition to the concert or chair seating at the nearby stage areas, there will also be tables and chairs near each of the two food locations.
