WILL BE RAINED OUT AND IS OVERRATED..
ReplyDeleteI heard that this year they are not using the local pervert to help with the parking, but hired it out to a private company, and therefore, you have to pay to park also??
ReplyDeleteI refuse to go there because of all the drunks bumping into me and my children in the middle of the day! It's promoted as a family affair but it's really not. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be to cold.
ReplyDelete" outside food and drinks are not permitted on festival grounds."
ReplyDeleteHow Tacky and downright rude! I've never been and I won't go now. How dare them deny a family who may want to go and get a sandwich but may want to bring their own drinks to save a few dollars. I could afford to buy something at ever vendor with just the money in my back pocket but the area being predominately lower income can't afford such luxuries.
11:25 - I believe there is a $5 entry fee to get inside the fence.
ReplyDeleteSo I will just settle for a Sam's club Nathans Hot Dog & large coke - Price $1.81.
I see no need to patronize the County as it has done little or nothing for me. And another thing, who is watching over the county workers collecting the cash money. If they got away with it at the landfill, they could easily get away with at this event.
Bad Weather.
ReplyDeletewhy all you dumb asses go out and get a job so you can afford five dollars for entry fee all you want is hand outs
ReplyDeleteSo the county should do great amazing community activities, but let everyone in for free, not charge for anything, and definitely not use tax dollars to support things??? That is ridiculous. This type of event you should have to pay to attend, and if you're such a loyalist, buy some food from the local vendors on site.
