They’re also available in coming weeks from any Rotarian, at Silly Market, or in person on the day of the event. In this major highlight organizers release thousands of balls from the top of Main Street before cheering throngs. Beforehand, patrons can pay to sponsor one ball, or many, and if their ball is one of the top finishers at the bottom of the street, they’re eligible for prizes. It’s one of their most important fundraisers. This is where Rotary Club raises money for their nonprofits in the community,

WHERE TO STAY

This holiday season why not choose to spend it at a home away from home? The holidays may look and feel a little different this year, but it could be the perfect time to change your backdrop and enjoy spending time with loved ones at one of our Abode Properties in Park City which could also help alleviate the age-old question “Whose house for the holidays?”. Park City is the ideal spot to feel festive as our entire valley and mountains will be covered in twinkly lights and a blanket of snow. Cuddle up with loved ones and get cozy by the fire after a day of skiing, soak in the hot tub as you watch the snow fall, or play board games in pajamas. This could be your most relaxing holiday yet!

Our portfolio consists of a plethora of Park City holiday homes that are spacious enough for large family gatherings that are great for entertaining and family-friendly with game rooms, rec basements, and wide-open spaces for kids (and adults) to roam freely.
