Summit Community Gardens Executive Director Sloane Johnson invites Park City to enjoy a freshly cooked and locally sourced dinner on a summer night in the garden.
The Dinner in the Garden series, which starts on June 3, features healthy meals created by chefs from local eateries. The events not only taste good, but support local sources and serve as a fundraiser for the nonprofit, Johnson said.

Running With Ed is on.
After the Park City Education Foundation canceled its annual relay-race fundraiser last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the nonprofit is bringing it back this spring with some new guidelines.
Jennifer Billow, the nonprofit’s associate director of communications and development, said the changes are aimed at ensuring the safety of participants. The event is scheduled on May 22.
“Typically there is this giant start and finish at the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse with 1,500 runners and volunteers, but we knew we couldn’t do that with the current situation,” Billow said. “So, we will set up staggered starts at each of the Park City District schools. We felt that was appropriate, because Running with Ed is about raising money for our schools, teachers and students.”
Local high schoolers attended the fifth annual avalanche safety class at the Canyons Village side of Park City Mountain Resort on Sunday. The class included an hour-long virtual meeting and five hours of field study.

Park City Community Foundation announced its latest round of grant recipients for its COVID-19 Community Response Fund last week. The $500,000 in assistance provided to area nonprofits is meant to help those impacted by the pandemic to stay in their homes, care for their children, seek medical care and more.

With the stress that 2020 brought, the Park City Education Foundation wanted to give back to Park City School District teachers. As a result, they launched the Educator Wellness Initiative.
The goal of the initiative is to provide wellness programs for educators, including mindfulness training, food, yoga classes and gym memberships.
Melissa Nikolai, a language arts teacher at Park City High School, expressed her gratitude for the program.
