TEST YOUR LOCAL’S KNOWLEDGE

The first response to the following local’s trivia question receives a free in home design consultation compliments of, (you guessed it), Alder & Tweed.

The question is: What is the “DAILY DOUBLE”? It can occur any time, or multiple times, generally between April and June. It involves a Park City activity in the morning and a 30 +/- mile drive for the second activity in the afternoon. A local’s favorite for over 25 years.
