Park City has more to offer than great timeshare deals and perfect powder. This small town houses one of the best communities you can find. Each member of the Park City community is friendly and passionate about the beautiful landscape that surrounds them, as well as the sports stars that the landscape creates.

Last Saturday, Park City gathered on Main Street to welcome home the Olympians and Paralympians that competed in Sochi this winter. This year alone, Park City had 64 athletes, 49 Olympians, 15 Paralympians, and brought home 12 medals in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. In a town where the population is less than 10,000 people year round, that’s pretty impressive!

The parade and following rally was organized to welcome home and honor the athletes, their families and coaches, while praising the strong Park City community for their support before, during and after the Olympic games. The announcers played on the old saying that, “It takes a village to raise a child,” saying that when you have more than a village, but a passionate community, you can raise champions.

For some, the day was emotional as families and athletes saw their hard work pay off, but for most is was a smiling celebration, even though it snowed for most of the afternoon. The attendees didn’t care, the snow seeming to make an appearance to honor the athletes as well.
