Weekly Park Highlight:  City Park
One reason why moms love this park:  TOTALLY fenced in.  No need to expend your precious energy chasing after a child who thinks running into the parking lot is the next best thing to ice-cream.   Swing, sand, covered pavillion with picnic tables, fun play structures and grass.  What more could you ask for?  Walking distance to stores, you say?  Done!  This park is only a block off of Main Street and across the street from the library.  Hope to see you there!

For Sale
Train table in good condition.  White/w green table top insert.  $50 or best offer.  Please call (801)598-0712
 
Merry Go Round Rides At PCMR
You don't have to head down to Salt Lake City to take your kids on a Merry Go Round!  Just $3 and a visit to the base of Park City Mountain Resort will make your child happy.  And the scenery is spectacular!  You can finish up your outing with a rousing game of Put-Put Golf:  http://www.parkcitymountain.com/summer/activities/

Important Messages For Parents
A friend posted this on Facebook and I thought I should share it with this group since there is an important lesson to be learned for parents of young children:
"As many of you know last year on May 21st we lost our two and half year old son Coby to a terrible accident. I wanted to thank everyone for all of the love and support we have received in dealing with this terrible tragedy...and say a few things in remembrance and tribute. As many of you know Coby died from asphyxiation. He was wearing a borrowed sweatshirt that had a hood and strings. The strings got caught on a play-structure. Jacquie and I know this was an accident and blame no one. I only tell you this for one reason... if you have children, work with children or have friends with children...please make sure they know to take out the strings of any jacket or hoodie they may have. If we can prevent one parent from going through what we have then this note will have accomplished something."

Are you interested in helping create a Park City Dinner Club?  It's all about getting a group of people together who share a passion for food--both cooking it and eating it.  We will meet every 4-6 weeks and share a special meal (rotating through private homes and occasional restaurants).  We'll explore great food, great wine and make new friends!  Please email me if you're interested--ideally we'd like to start with 4-5 couples.  I'll follow up with everyone who is interested within two weeks to discuss the details of our first dinner.  Email:  jill.layfield@gmail.com

Sponsorships (i.e. Advertising on Jane's List):  All businesses wishing to advertise themselves to our readers need to purchase a sponsorship in order to be in Jane's List (this includes private schools, day cares, camps, etc).  This is for a variety of reasons:  keeps our newsletter fun by keeping it from becoming one big advertisement (which is not fair to our subscribers), that our sponsorships are clearly promoted and highly visible but also clearly marked and, most importantly, it is how we fund our newsletter and keep it free to our subscribers.  We only run one sponsorship a day at the top of each daily newsletter.  If you want to promote your business, program, class, etc and are interested in becoming a daily sponsor, please send an email to leslie@parkcityjane.com  ATTN:  Sponsorship.  We really appreciate your sponsorship support!   

Editorial Policy:  Jane's List items are selected by our editors based upon information you have sent us as well as 'field experience' conducted by our editors.  We want to keep the legitimacy, integrity and fun of Jane's List intact so we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest toy we told you about.   And we ask the same in return:  all submissions about a product or business to Jane's List should follow the same guideline (that you not affiliated with the business).  We want you to send us your information to include in our daily lists:  available nanny/babysitter (or need for a babysitter/nanny), a fun place/event to take your children for fun (especially if free), a great place for mom's night out, fun crafts to do with your kids, that awesome new exercise class you have taken, your garage sale, items you wish to sell, great recipe, funny video, sentimental poem, great gift ideas, important safety information, etc.  We also LOVE to receive announcements (birth, press coverage of a local mom or business, etc) and will always be happy to post them.  You can submit your requests to us at kristy@parkcityjane.com  ATTN:  Jane's List Item.  Please make sure that you give us plenty of advance notice (we require a week in advance to guarantee posting your information).

Note regarding products featured in our list:  all of the products written about in Jane's List have been 'test-driven' by our editors, subscribers or friends and family who have NO affiliation with the product editorialized.  If you have a product/book/restaurant, etc you would like our editors to consider writing about, please let us know.  We are always happy to have you send us something for one of our reporters to 'field test' for review for potential inclusion in one of our letters.

You Spoke And We Listened:  We will be coming out with special editions to serve local schools, daycares and camps based upon YOUR requests.  These issues will be only one time per year (i.e. the 'Camp' issue will come out in May, the 'Daycare' issue in August and 'Preschool' issue TBA--we could use your input on this one).  If this is something you would like to be included in, please shoot us an email labeled ATTN:  Special Edition and we will send you more details as they become available. 

And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone--that would be lame.
