The Players: Patsy, Woody, and Gary have been carrying on their 30 year tradition of Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas up and down the Wasatch Front, including Park City, Utah and the Solitude ski resort. They're busy all this week, according to Patsy. (I wonder if The Players will do Horton Hatches An Egg again for the resorts this spring?)
