Planting Tomatoes, Tip from Larry's Family Farm: Take two aspirin and call me in the morning? Dig hole. Toss in two fish heads, a handful of dried/crushed egg shells along with two crushed aspirin. Handle roots gently. Remove lower leaves from stem leaving the top cluster of leaves intact. Gently place tomato plant in hole. Loosely wrap a 2" wide strip of newspaper around the stem to protect it from "cut worms" then hand backfill with native soil. Softly water in the soil. For more details on how to transplant tomatoes stop by our booth and ask Larry.

 

The Park Silly Sunday Market team is ramping up for our 4th season on historic Main Street and personally, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing this will be our home for the next 7 years. Don't know if you heard about our Zero Waste accomplishments from 2009, but we hosted over 90,000 visitors and sent only 2.5 - 50 gallon trash bags to the landfill. Everything else got recycled with the help of Park City Mountain Resort. You guys rock!!

Even though our preparations for 2010 were delayed by contract negotiations with PCMC, our whole team has noticed a feeling that this is definitely going to be our best season so far, hands down! We are super excited about the feng shui of the market venue this year. We have added in the Marriott Plaza at 7th Street to create a little elbow room and have some very nice additions here that you won't want to miss.

Casey Metzger, owner of Top Shelf Bartending Services, is going to be running one of my favorite areas of the market AND we have added a very nice element this season-The Bloody Silly- Bloody Mary Bar! This thing looks like a spaceship! It is a build your own Bloody Mary with something like 50 different ingredients. A great way to start off a Sunday morning. High West will be back with their already infamous HW Lemonade and you won't want to miss the chef presentations each week. St. Regis will be holding a chef competition on the main stage every 4th Sunday that will be sure to please all you foodies. (It's making hungry just thinking about it.)

We are also working with Mountain Town Music to book the music on the stages! As always, the event is FREE and every week is uniquely fun and exciting with kids activities, performance art & locally grown veggies & arts and crafts. Look for great Silly Sunday promotions happening up & down the entire street and weekend get-away packages on our website. You can sign up to receive the weekly schedule of events at ParkSillySundayMarket.com.

So, celebrate Sundays by starting off the morning with a beautiful hike or mountain bike ride at PCMR and end it on Main Street to celebrate with all your friends!

See you at the market!
