Too Crowded

Wow! That was insane! Parking was a nightmare. There was traffic for miles before even reaching the event. I had no idea that so many families would be attending. Time (and money) would be much better spent going to the zoo on another day to enjoy the time there. The idea behind the event is great - but it was very overwhelming and the message of community was lost amongst the madness. If a venue of this size cannot handle the event, I don't know what could.
