Literally ON Main Street: Tables would line Main Street---on Sundays following the Silly Market. There would be a charge/sponsorship for each table of 8, with guidelines.
The theme would be to share traditional cuisines of residents in a green manner.
A new take on "mind your--green--manners."
The green part would be that each table provide reusable dinnerware/drinkware for themselves. We could have Mexican, Filipino, Swedish, Russian, Czech, Hawaiian, Chinese, etc., etc.
Musicians could be encouraged to share their talents during the event.
Awards could be given to groups who have the "greenest" tables.
It could be a Global Green Promotion, demonstrating what goes into a family meal. We could educate people about grocery store/farmer's market shopping habits---products we choose and how we carry groceries home, to the dinnerware at the table, then to waste disposal.
This would involve everyone---tourists, 2nd homeowners, Latinos, all cultures, all ages. It would incorporate green awareness, and EDUCATE all of us about each other and how to be gentle with our environment.
Piggybacking with the immensely successful Park Silly Market would be another tourism draw for Old Town and demonstrate our community commitment to diversity and environmentalism.
Maybe there would be an entrance fee, waived by a stamp from taking public transportation.
We'd be bringing our dining rooms to Main Street. There would be a limit to the number of tables, so restaurants would be on board. Draw people to witness the spectacle and spend money in Main Street eateries.
Tables and chairs would be provided, and each party would supply tablecloths, place settings, foods with a theme, and ambience. We'd need to have a permit for BYO beverages.
Outreach would get participation from different sectors of our community.
I know I would love to participate--go to the Silly Market with friends and family and bring a fabulous spread for afterwards. Educate, entertain, and mange, mange mange : )
We would promote the Flavors of Park City. We could sell reusable grocery bags with that logo, and have Recycle Utah present with a composting demo/sale.
We could also sell resusable Flavors of Park City water bottles and provide large water dispensers at each event. Small fee for people with their own containers, and no fee for people with the Flavors bottles. And ZERO cups available for distribution.
We would knock out bags, water bottles, Latino outreach, 2nd homeowner outreach, transportation awareness, walkability, waste disposal, green awareness---all in one fell swoop!!!
It would be a brand new idea that would incorporate projects that are already being worked on by many other organizations in town. Hmmmm....or yummmmmmmm....
