The way vendors price gouge citizens for outrageous food prices it is not a family outing... When I was little, I remember the homemeade raft races (suicidal and funny), and there wer community vendors.. Churches, boy scouts, youth croups, civic groups selling food.... Cheap Food.. Like hot dog and a drink for a buck! (The old Wilsons grocery hot dog stand) THEN you could afford to bu artists goods, and take the family out... But not anymore.. Too many people.. too expensive.. NOT worth it... But we pay the overtime clean up bill....
