I would say if you don't like the big crowds, you might want to come a little later in the day. It really died down by about 2PM. The AC has been upgraded. Workers were loading a new rooftop unit on that morning so it should be quite comfortable for the October event.

I can't believe the lot was full by 10 and that people made a fuss about free shot glasses. How would you vendors and attendees say the event went, overall? In my eyes when I read "biggest one yet!" I thought booooo. Much like Disneyland I'd rather have the place empty rather than packed, so that I can not be shuffled around with the rest of the cattle. I'm sure vendors think the opposite, however. Follow me on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/keithkocka [ Edited by: kkocka 2015-09-15 11:37 ]
