I enjoyed myself, but would recommend arriving early for any shows/races. It gets very packed very fast. Also, wear shoes you don't really care about because the festival and parking lots are all dirt and dead grass. The ostrich shows were adorable, but I wish the festival was more focused on the races and animals and less on the food, beer and rides. It felt more like the state fair. Make sure you eat before you come too - A single hamburger is $15! It was fun, but I wish they focused on the animals more is all.
