             More than just the skiing, biking, golf, snowboarding, hiking or ...it is the local Park City community, people (residents and vacationers alike), and local amenities that make Park City Real Estate Valuable.             Ask a local why they live in Park City, UT and many will answer that they came here for a winter and never left. In this ongoing blog chapter we will talk about some of the many things that make Park City, Utah a special place to live and own real estate.             Today's topic: Park City Gallery Stroll Park City Art Galleries             You spent the last year searching Park City Real Estate for your dream vacation home and you finally found one in Deer Valley. Now you need the perfect piece of Art to make this Deer Valley condominium yours. Where do you look?  Park City's Friday Gallery Stoll is a great place to start. On the last Friday of every month (year around) from 6:00 to 9:00 the gallery doors are open and light refreshments are served just so you can meander through, get familiar with the Park City art scene.              There are 19 galleries within walking distance of each other in and around Historic Main St. Park City that take part in the monthly Gallery Stroll. The galleries feature a variety of local and nationally known artists. Even if you don't find the piece of art you want it is a great way to spend an evening in Park City.             I'll be the first to admit that we often use the gallery stroll as a nice walk before dinner on Main St; snacking along the way. The great variety of galleries and artwork give a great insight to your friends as you observe what each of you finds interesting or moving.

             More than just the skiing, it is the community and local amenities that make Park City Real Estate Valuable.

            Ask a local why they live in Park City, UT and many will answer that they came here for a winter and never left. In this ongoing blog chapter we will talk about some of the many things that make Park City, Utah a special place to live and own real estate.

            Today's topic: The Kimball Art Center

Kimball Arts Center | Park City, UT

            The Kimball Art Center is Park City's nonprofit community art center. Located in the heart of Historic Old Town the Kimball is considered by many the hub of the arts in Park City. Most renowned for hosting the Park City Arts Festival, one of the top art festivals in the country the Kimball Art Center also has classes for artists of all ages and abilities. While I take at least one class a year one of my favorite things do is the monthly Friday night gallery stroll which starts and ends at the Kimball and includes a stop at all of the galleries in Old Town. Most galleries provide beverages and light hors d oeuvres. Of course the center also hosts some fantastic exhibitions featuring both local and nationally known artists. Like the Park City Transit System the Kimball Art Center is free to the public.

            While the Kimball has no affiliation with the Park City Real Estate community it is considered by many locals and potential home buyers to be one of the important amenities that make Park City such a great place to live or vacation.

            For a list of events or classes at the Kimball visit their web site at kimballartcenter.org  or visit the YouInParkCity.com events section at youinparkcity.com/events. If you stop by the Kimball and have any questions about Park City Real Estate stop by our office at 693 Main Street located right next door to the lower level entrance to the Kimball and ask for Rob or Todd.

            More than just the skiing, it is the community and local amenities that make Park City Real Estate Valuable.

            Today's topic: The Park Record

Park City, Utah Newspaper

            The Park Record is Park City's local newspaper. The paper comes out bi-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You can receive the paper by mail, or purchase it at many local outlets and distribution boxes for $0.50. It is also available online at http://www.parkrecord.com/.

            The Park Record is a great avenue for learning about what is going on in Park City. When someone walks in the front door here at the Keller Williams office at 693 Main St in Park City asking about what is going on in town, I recommend the Park Record as one of the best resources. It isn't your source for national or world news. The paper is full of articles about local residents, local businesses, local politics and happenings. The paper is a great source for retail and restaurant specials, job openings and long term rentals.

            Park City real estate advertising makes up a good portion of the advertising, but the internet is a much more complete and frequently used portal for searching real estate for sale see YouInParkCity.com
