Show tin . $y imie I really hate to bring this up' but.... "Oh, the weather outside is frightful, A fire sounds less than delightful, And if local economy is j expected to grow, It better snow, better snow, better snow." Even though I envied the way Patty Boales looked in her shorts on Main Street Monday I shuddered to think it was the end of February and warm enough' in the mountains to expose oneself to the elements. She wasn't alone - I also spotted a lady sunning herself in a bikini out in Park Meadows. The parched dry lawns in town conspicuously visible, they are usually hidden this time of year by a blanket of white, looked like a bit of foreshadowing. fore-shadowing. If we are having this dry winter, doomsdayers are predicting a summer of water rationing and poor fishing... "The sun doesn't show . signs of stopping, All over town, businessmen's business-men's knuckles are popping. The cover on Pick and Shovel is getting low, Where's the snow, where's the snow, where's the snow?" Some residents with frozen fro-zen veins have searched mountains beyond for a chance to carve those, edges a few times ' extra. Tika Beard, Ken Clausen, Mike and Diane Vance and Bruce and Melaine Decker just returned from a short skip up to Sun Valley. And Vic and Marianne Ayers decided to go for maximum sun exposure ex-posure and headed off to Mexico for ten days. For Parkites of more modest means, and with every bit as severe a case of winter cabin blues, Logan will be the hot spot this Friday night. The Park City Players, along with a large cast of best supporting mates, will travel to present their comedy, 6 RMS RIV VU. The play has been designated to represent Utah in the Festival of American Community Theatre. After Logan, the group travels to Billings, Montana, home of Park City's Georgene Crosby will accompany the Players to her hometown. Then if the group wins in Montana, it's on to Kalamazoo, Michigan, Michi-gan, and after that... Monaco, Mona-co, home of Princess Caroline Caro-line and parents. Should the group get to Monaco they have been promised dinner and a night on the town by Park City's Dick Beck, who will be in Europe at the time of the finals. O.K. - O.K. -so maybe it's a bit of a long ; shot, but it certainly makes a Friday night in Logan more bearable to think of it as a, stepping stone to Monaco... "We could just end this season right, If we got one gigantic good storm. But if we don't get more of the white, There's no chance of winter being re-born." The few inches of fluff we did get last week was just enough to ring a flurry of activity to town. Main street was wall to wall patrons flashing the green. Not to be confused with the wearing of the green soon to be done by latent leprechauns at the Annual St. Paddy'd Day Ball. But that isn't scheduled sche-duled until March 14 and I wouldn't dream of plugging it this early. (When one starts slinging the blarney, you can be sure it's only an Irish Coffee away till the holiday.) The most pathetic sight last weekend to me was the number of shopping carts abandoned along the roadside road-side like non-returnable bottles. bot-tles. I spied two still unclaimed on Monday, one all the: way out.-toward Prospector Square and another neglected on Empire Avenue. But all weekend long I had watched shoppers driving their carts to their cbndos. Perhaps it would be in Alpha Beta's best interest to offer 'a delivery of groceries, to your back door, of course. Not only could they keep their carts cor-raled, cor-raled, but what a wonderful public relations move. Does " the idea of being able, to order a gallon of Fernwood!s burnt almond fudge to your door in the middle of the Movie of the Week, well does it Strike a vein, in you? "Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But There's talk of a storm before nightfall, That's reason enough to get on a glow, It could snow, it could snow, it could snow!" |
