Attendees with rigid expectations complained but I went with a laidback attitude, ate whatever had the shortest line and had a ball of both day's of last year's free event. That Singaporean government propaganda event was a nightmare. Googly Eyes was just kind of a mess but one with promise. I hope they hit a home run this year.Dynishalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000527345969911191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-14984140761735385952013-04-02T16:31:07.568-04:002013-04-02T16:31:07.568-04:00"They should alternate sides of the park if t..."They should alternate sides of the park if they are going to make this an annual event"<br /><br />If they ever did that and held this fiasco on the Long Meadow, rather than the Nethermead, that would really be the end of the event.Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-68729494342607859642013-04-02T15:57:34.901-04:002013-04-02T15:57:34.901-04:00Q makes some good points, so do the commenters.

I will happily donate money directly to the park to keep this event away. <br /><br />The fact that they are holding this event again following last year's insanity really makes me question the Alliance's commitment to the PUBLIC park. Events like these are incredibly narrow sighted since the majority of the people it attracts never came to the park previously and certainly don't return afterward. If the goal is to attract more people to the park (which I doubt is the goal, it smells more like privatization of a public space) then I have several suggestions that won't render the park unusable to the public. <br /><br />Last year, it took weeks before my family and I could enjoy the Nethermead. There was garbage everywhere, the grass was destroyed, and there was a lingering smell of pee and poop among some suspicious looking puddles.MadMommaCarmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-75009346578020568932013-04-01T16:12:53.522-04:002013-04-01T16:12:53.522-04:00Hopefully when the Lakeside Center finally opens t...Hopefully when the Lakeside Center finally opens they will hold it there - much less environmental damage likely.babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-17211787770642233422013-04-01T09:18:42.186-04:002013-04-01T09:18:42.186-04:00Agreed!

This is a travesty and renders our side of the park all but unusable for several days before as well as the event is set up and the Nethermead is roped off. I understand this year they are even installing temporary cell towers. I wonder what damage they will do. <br /><br />A better way for the Alliance to make money? I would pay $54.50 or more, as would many of my neighbors, to keep this horror show away!babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.com
