Went tonight with my sister and BIL. I swore to them it would be a quick in and out and hours later we all made our way back to the car with our treasures in hand and humming the theme to Peter Gunn (a favorite from one of several bands which were performing).
The thing that really sets this apart for me is the sense of community which is woven around its every component. It's not your typical art/craft thing where you feel like people are just there to sell their wares. It feels natural or somehow organic and the public clearly responds. I loved the number of family units I saw spending/sharing their evening together and it was super pet friendly.
Add in a sprinkling of Yelpers here and there (Audrey W. and Deb L. are great huggers!) and it was truly a wonderful time. I went as a sign of support and came home a fan. Can't wait to do it again!
