That event was a bit rough around the edges. Next year, they should consider having more than one ticket booth. I also wanted to club some of those inconsiderate knuckleheads that decided to hold their conversations in the middle of the sidewalks and barely move to allow others to pass.
@Butterbean – thanks for the feedback! We completely agree about multiple ticket sales locations for next year. Our estimated attendance for this event was 500, and we were thrilled when over 1500 Francophiles showed up to enjoy the festivities. You can be sure that next year we’ll be ready to make this event even better!
