Many things have changed with our festival the last few years and continue to do so as we grow. We are expecting between 17,000 and 20,000 people this year. With a Larger beer garden, new hard liquor beverage, new fencing requirements, local construction and more, we are having to adjust to the City's requirements and limitations. I hope you and your group can accept my apologies for any unintended inconvenience.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Please note the following:</span></u></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">*The parking pre-parade will be on Swede Alley. You will be directed to park upon arrival. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">*Due to limited space and parking we only have room for each car club to enter 12 cars. If you will provide me a list of names of the 12 that will commit to participate we will announce them down the parade route as we announce the entry.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">*Because the City will no longer allow parking on the grass, we are unable to offer parking in the park.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">I certainly understand the difficulty of coordinating a large group of people as well as getting solid commitment from even a few. I sincerely hope that your members who have participated and enjoyed Miners Day in the past will want to again. We have very much enjoyed having you all in our parade. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">I look forward to seeing you on September 7th. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Very Best, </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:20.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#1F497D;">Heidi Hewitt</span></b></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Miners Day Parade Coordinator</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">435-901-4068</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">heidihewitt@q.com </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"><a href="http://parkcityminersday.org/" target="_blank">Park City Miners Day Website</a></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"><a href="http://www.parkcityrotary.com/" target="_blank">Park City Rotary Website</a></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ParkCityRotaryClub" target="_blank">Rotary Facebook Page</a></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"></span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;"> Jonathan Hermance [mailto:jhermance@earthfax.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, August 14, 2015 1:07 PM<br><b>To:</b> Heidi Hewitt <heidihewitt@q.com><br><b>Cc:</b> Gary Lindstrom <gary@cs.utah.edu>; Paul Jaroch <bughous@msn.com>; R J DAVIS <rogerdavis87@msn.com><br><b>Subject:</b> RE: British Motor Club of Utah Parking</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">Heidi,</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">Thanks for confirming the BMCU has a spot in the Miner's Day Parade.

Your request though, to allow close double parking of our small cars would be greatly appreciated.</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">Memory says we usually have upwards of twenty to thirty Little British Cars (LBCs) in the Miner's Day Parade. To my knowledge we have never before been limited on the number of LBCs participating. Please do see about accommodating a larger variable number of BMCU cars. It is not reasonable for the BMCU to try and obtain commitments from our 100+ active membership as to who may be planning to participate in a specific club event. We have always operated on the premise that who ever shows up gets to do it. If we have to start telling people who have made the effort to bring their cars to the parade they cannot participate because we are limited on the number of cars it might well be the last year the BMCU participates in the parade as a club. Notifying the club membership ahead of time that only a limited number of cars can participate in the parade would likely not work out very well either. I fear less than the limited number of cars allowed would actually show up for the parade.</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">The BMCU wants to cooperate regarding a car show location down at the park on parade day. Let me know what is finalized, if you can, at least by the time I pick up our paper plate with our "spot" number on it before the parade. Also please have people who know where to direct the BMCU to approved parking as we turn into the park at the end of the parade. I'm looking forward to receiving a Venue Map.</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">Thanks,</span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;">Jon </span></p></div></div></div> </div></body>
