Food was delicious. Derby was exciting. Crowd was under control. Event security, Police Dept. & Sheriff Dept. All did a great job at keeping us safe and secure. Kudos to them a wonderful experience. All event coordinaters did an awesome job. Ran into one of my favorite people in the whole entire world my grandson!!

We had a great time. Vendors had retro games and systems. People dress in character for the event. People were playing games, trading games and characters. Pleasant event for gamers.

Overall not bad, I'm a big fan of fair food, so you better believe I put the work in on corndogs, corn on the cob, and kettle corn. All the workers were super nice. Only negative was the shuttle for parking took forever. I parked at least 500 yards away, and was able to walk to the front gate before the shuttle got even got to the "pick up zone." Security was present and on point, and a bunch of cool booths and vendors. This wqs for the poppy festival, the actual AV fair is bigger amd has more, but still a decent time.
