| - I had zero expectations for The Ostrich Festival. This festival delivered beyond my wildest dreams.
Parking - easy, $5, volunteers were super helpful and walked me to a premier parking spot right in front of the entrance. I came back later in the night and told them I had already paid earlier in the day, and once again they led me to an awesome parking spot at no additional charge.
Admission - $10. Their was a groupon and I wished we had purchased it, but I think $10 is fair. They take credit card.
Beer - $5 for 12 oz. shock tops. For a festival of this nature, I consider that quite a bargain. And thank god we were not all stuck with bud and bud light.
Entertainment - extremely interesting but also extremely crowded. You can still see the ostrich, emu, and camel races above all the tall folks in front of you though. Pig races were impossible to see.
Food - Like the state fair, but cheaper and better with more choices. They had ostrich burgers, although I did not have one.
Carnival - they had the normal amusement park games and rides. We did not partake but the lines seemed short.
Music - With the cost of admission we got entrance into an Eddie Money concert, FTW! He sounded great and the joint was packed. Totally fun and totally worth going back for in the evening.
People watching - not as hick as I expected, but still it was fun to just sit around and watch the attendees.
We will definitely be back next year. Thank you, Ostrich Festival!
