Sunday in the Garden

I'm going to recommend a writing conference. Have you ever been to Park City? Home of the Sundance Film Festival, not to mention many movie stars. It's nestled in the mountains above Salt Lake City. A beautiful backdrop for the conference.

If you can save your pennies it's worth it. (Not to mention they have great places to find a nice glass of wine!)

The conference sounds interesting but two (2) questions- What is the nearest major airport and what is the cost per night for the hotel. I couldn't find either on the registration form or the conference website.

Well at least I know it's not me. After I posted this I emailed our web mistress to ask where the hotel information is.

You go to the registration and fee form and at the end of step one is a 'click here' for hotel information.

As for the airport I didn't think to put that on there. I'll have them add it. It's Salt Lake City Airport.

Thanks for the feedback.
