Decent show. Everything Else Unpleasant.
The show was decent if you like family friendly country/western and lame jokes (my wife and in-laws loved the show). Now the bad:
-Picnic tables are dirty, uncomfortable, and too close together (12 inches apart so they can squeeze in more people).
-Chuckwagon food?? I guess this means chicken patties dropped in a tub of BBQ sauce, dry cake, bland applesauce, and watered down lemonade. The BBQ beef was decent.
-The show was held inside which was near sauna like. No ceiling fans, no extra cold liquids, nothing to alleviate the heat.
-Bathrooms are 100 yards away in the parking lot.
-Food service moved fairly quickly given the almost 1,000 people attending. Servers barked orders like drill instructors at a boot camp mess hall.
-Overall: Decent show but I am praying that none of my relatives ever want to visit Flying W again.    [14 Aug 2007 16:14:58]
