It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Park City. Fancy ladies are strutting up and down Main Street dressed like tin foil balls with little Uggs poking out the bottom. Men are all walking around doing their best impression of Clark Griswold’s neighbor with their slicked-back hair and leather driving gloves. I love it.
