I had high hopes for this one based on even last year where it rained.

This year I found it horribly spread out with no rhyme or reason. Last year there where many displays that where "Picture Worthy" this year "Zilch" other than a giant horse we saw on the way home but that was in a ridiculous place off the track and couldn't be bothered to back track and look at it.

If there is a next year they should put more of the $150,000 budget towards:

Make a more obvious route to follow so people can be sure they see everything and that way we are not tripping over people going the opposite way

Don't spread it out so far with absolutely nothing in between

More large projects, last year even with the rain those large pictures in the Cameron bandshell were amazing this year ...MEH

When someone said "Recycle The CD's" I think they meant put them in the "Blue Bin" not use them again, kinda cute the first couple of times now just kinda unoriginal and sad - Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:34am

I agree about the layout, but I still had fun. Did you see the awesome duck song?

there was just too many people there to enjoy it, i thought. also, they should not allow dogs. if you bring a dog, you should be fined. i was so worried one would get stepped on. - Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:26pm
