I am going to agree that it is out there to expect such high vendor prices and then VERY high admission prices to the public. One side has to give …I’d prefer to see the admission price go down substantially.

I went to the Poppy (?) Festival last year for the first and last time. Why is it the Poppy Festival when there are NO poppies to be found? The only ones I saw were on the signage. It was set up so strange, I couldn’t find the flow that didn’t take me in a circle that excluded a number of booths. Did’t make sense. Food and water was a little expensive. I won’t go back.
