They had a lot to offer, and although many of the booths had a lot of the same stuff, the prices differed somewhat and you could get some great buys. It was quite hot inside, especially at some of the booths that had a lot of lights. I wish there had been a couple of other, different food booths outside.

Even fewer vendors this year....up side to that was less shopper crowding and body heat. Still plenty hot inside under the bright halogen lights. I give it a 2.5 star rating. I did still manage to buy a few specialty items.

Went last year, again this year, will I go next year? I doubt it.

Most of the vendors had the same items as the others. There were a few unique vendor items, alot of them were higher prices than I anticipated, but I spent alot of money regardless because I needed inventory items.
