It's Arts Fest Weekend!

It's hard to believe that the 38th annual arts festival is already here. This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Main Street is closed to traffic, and vendors come from all over the country to display their wares. The Park City Art Festival is always the highlight of the summer. Activities on Main Street range from many music venues, restaurants showing off their fare, fabulous variety of arts and crafts, and of course, one cannot forget the people-watching. About 50,000 people will attend the festival over the weekend.

In the meantime, the summer thunderstorms have returned. Days start off with crystal clear blue skies, cloud up and storm for an hour or two in the afternoon, then clear up again for the evening. Summer thunderstorms in the mountains are one of the delights as the days are cooler, and much needed moisture comes into the forest. The next two months, August and September, are some of the best here in the mountains. While the days are still warm, they are not as hot as July, and the evenings start to cool off. Temperatures were in the low 40s last Monday morning. August is also very busy in town, with many of the condos full of summer visitors. While this is once again terrific for owners, it does make showing the condos a little more difficult again. Many of our visitors are now starting to look towards the winter, and looking for a ski condo for the season. This is a great time to come out, as there are still some excellent values to be found.
