We had a great time ! We’ll be back next year.
Met great people who were crawling, and the shop owners were fabulous. Thanks for a fun day. Next year, warmer and no showers…..maybe a better map.
It was fun but a couple of places ran out half way through the event. One place came in tied for 3rd place. I think if they run out they should be disqualified.
