I was a bit disappointed. For the cost, we expected a longer lighted path. Was very short and there was no music playing in the market tent. Asking for a $2 donation to take pictures with the pumpkins was weird seeing as we pay to enter. That’s not a tip that’s a cost.
This was so much fun. Well done, Klehm!
Andrea Wilkinson we need to go to this!
