Two signature community events in Park City are scheduled to occur during the same weekend. Live PC Give PC, a 24-hour giving day, and the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Navajo Rug Show are both set to take place between Friday, Nov. 6, and Sunday, Nov. 8, according to a November 4 report.
Live PC Give PC, hosted by the Park City Community Foundation, is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6. The 16th annual event aims to raise $5.5 million from at least 6,800 individual donors to support more than 130 nonprofits serving Park City, Summit County, and the Wasatch Back. Since its launch in 2011, the event has raised over $40 million.
Donors may choose to wait until Nov. 6 to participate, as nonprofits may receive additional $10 donations during surprise power hours sponsored by Park City Mountain and the Vail Resorts Epic Promise Foundation. The Giving Day Fest is scheduled for 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Park City Library. Additionally, Woodward Park City will host an event for school-aged children and teens from 4 to 8 p.m., while an evening celebration for adults 21 and older is scheduled for 8 p.m. to midnight at High West Saloon.
The Adopt-A-Native-Elder Navajo Rug Show will be held at Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge from Nov. 6 through Nov. 8. This year marks the 40th year for the show, which features a winter solstice theme.
Opening night is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6, with $40 tickets and the first sale of themed rugs at 6 p.m. Admission is free on Saturday and Sunday, when the market will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event will include weaving, educational, and dancing demonstrations, as well as a children's powwow. Weavers set their own prices and retain 100 percent of their proceeds.
The Adopt-A-Native-Elder program's business director, C.J. Robb, stated that the organization delivered more than 1.1 million pounds of food, medical supplies, everyday necessities, and firewood assistance to Navajo Nation elders this year. The rug show serves as a marketplace for the elders rather than a retail floor.
Both events are described as significant community institutions that support local nonprofits and families living on the Navajo Nation in southeastern Utah.
