Wandering around with a bag of matchlight, looking for a match.
Disappointed with this year's Pig Fest - items
1) The police department closed parking on side streets coming into downtown - example parking on Center street was blocked on Saturday from Laura Duncan to Salem. Hasn't been the case in prior years or other prior events - such as Peak week. A number of side streets were blocked.
2) Competition teams were asked to park at the Baptist church. WAY TOO FAR AWAY to carry items to the comp area during the event!
3) Police gave out parking tickets to comp teams parked in the comp area. Our cars were out of the way and not blocking anything.
4) The lecture during the Judges meeting on how to be and adult in Apex was demeaning and felt like we were being talked down to. BAD TONE and ATTITUDE to the teams that are there helping the town raise money. We compete in a number of towns and don't get a 30 minute lecture on how to maintain ourselves. Don't Get It - and heard several teams say they won't be back.
