There was nothing silly about a drone flying above lower Main Street on a Sunday earlier this summer.

A drone was spotted above the Park Silly Sunday Market crowds on July 12, City Hall said in a recent report reviewing the Silly Market’s operations this year. According to the report, the drone was flying “just above” the pedestrian bridge that spans lower Main Street.

Staffers from the Silly Market and Park City police officers “reacted quickly” after the drone was seen, the report said. It took 15 minutes or so to discover who was operating the drone, according to the report.

“Park Silly Market Staff informed the owner of the drone that they do not allow flying with in the Market footprint,” the report said.

Kate Boyd, the executive director of the Silly Market, said the event organizers had not seen a drone before. She said the Silly Market does not want drones to worry people at the event.

Boyd said the drone, which she described as a “little flying helicopter,” descended to within 10 feet above Silly Market-goers. She said people appeared to be scared by the drone. She said a camera attached to the drone was taking photographs.

Boyd said she found the person operating the drone on a patio steps from the Silly Market and told him to stop flying the machine at the Silly Market. She said she considers a drone flying above the Silly Market a safety hazard. He stopped flying the drone at her request, Boyd said.

The recent City Hall report indicated the Silly Market does “not permit drones in the venue area.” City Hall staffers, meanwhile, has researched Federal Aviation Administration rules. The municipal government will continue to discuss safety issues and possibly draft a law addressing drones, the report said.

The report, meanwhile, also briefly discusses so-called ‘selfie sticks’ that someone uses to take photographs of themselves. The Silly Market received a complaint about the sticks, the report said.

“‘Selfie’ sticks have yet to be an issue, however, both Market Staff and City Staff will continue to address the concerns of these items as they arise,” the report said.

In an unrelated incident earlier in August, a drone was spotted in Prospector. The Park City Police Department received a complaint at 10:35 p.m. on Aug. 12 in the vicinity of Doc Holliday Drive and Little Bessie Avenue. The police were told a drone was flying in the area. The Police Department classified the case as disturbing the peace, but officers were unable to locate the drone, according to department logs.
