Wow, is it the recession that has the place empty? What a ghost town this year. Went on the zip line, awesome.

Food tried: deep fried bacon = V deep fried bacon wrapped dog = ^ turkey leg = ^ expensive beer = V fried cereal = ^ fried pbj = ^ frog legs = ^

It was nice not to have any traffic but rather sad to see such a low turnout.

I drove by this past weekend and saw how dismal the lot looked at 1pm compared to past years.

Zip line sounds cool. Food, not so much for me , but interesting nonetheless.

It is a weekday keep in mind, kids may not have school but parents still work.The food sounds interesting but I don't think I'm going to try it. I'm trying to stay fit. That makes me feel like I would weigh 50 pounds more after eating all that. I think I'm going to go this weekend.

You can look at the animal exhibits. All the little convention halls usually have random things to see too. but for the rides and food, you have to pay more.

We went opening day and usually it is complete nutz. This year there was no line at the main food vendors or any of the good rides. It was really amazing. The front lot was half full at 5 pm.
