Everyone's scrambling for rooms. I think everybody is just about full. |
I received a lot of feedback from people who felt that this year's event was a lot fuller and had a better flow of things. |
On Sunday, with the five to six hours of sunlight that we got, the Kids Section really came into full swing. I know the kids really enjoyed the games. The non-profit groups came out along with the other vendors, so it turned out to be a productive day. |
This year was experimental in that we were forced to move everything to places where they had not been set up in past years. This year's arrangement, however, turned out to be very effective and I think future events will likely use the same setups. We faced challenges in satisfying both administrators and security, but ultimately I think we did a good job with creating a more unified and robust Spring Fair. |
We had considered moving the rides to Wyman Park or the Eastern High School campus, but everything would be so decentralized. It just would have killed the continuity of the fair. |
We knew we wouldn't be able to use the Garland lot as of last year due to all the construction. We had started thinking of alternative locations then. |
Where in years past things were removed from one another, now it'll be together -- it'll be more compact and it wouldn't be as removed from the local residents. |
