- [Catherine H | 2025-12-07 15:39:05] We had a lot of fun yesterday. First time we are going without the kids. The parking is really bad. We parked at the empty mall parking and took the shuttle (Christian Tours). Friendly bus driver with Christmas music. Easy to wait for shuttle. Shuttle runs every 10 minutes. The kids had many activities. Mrs Claus made an appearance. Chick-fil-a cow was there. There were tons of crafts, beer, wine and food. Thank you to the sponsors. I enjoyed the free samples of flavored water & hot cocoa. I was impressed with the patience of everyone. The kids were corralled in the Santa workshop which really helps with traffic. I wasn’t tripping over anyone. I did not like the strollers. I think the strollers should be banned. The aisles were not big enough for double strollers (twin seats side by side). There is a small picnic area to eat. Everyone was happy with the fair. I loved the snowmen. I will definitely come again next year. I didn’t see any wheelchairs but I don’t think you could safely get through the aisles.
