It was great before. It should have been left alone! As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

It all needs to be down town where it started!' It will help all business, and bring in more revenue for the town! Come on people! A 5 year old can figure this out!! Volunteers would work out so much better!!

While attending the art fair this year, one of the artists indicated the consensus was none of them would be back next year if it were a separate event. So sad. (:

Separating the festival was a HUGE mistake! This was the worst one I've gone to ever!!!

I know crowd was good Saturday but wonder how much downtown, motels, and restaurants would have benefited having it all in one weekend. Heard nice comments about festival but 90% said wanted it back to the way it used to be.

These events need to stay the way they have been before this year. I haven't heard any positive feedback from anyone about the way these have went since the separation. Maybe there needs to be more volunteers but if some of the high and mighty in this town would go at it in a different demeanor the volunteers would feel like helping. When people don't feel they're appreciated they won't give in to helping out. Too many chiefs ruin the pot.

I bring my family every year for this event. We look forward to it. My kids were very disappointed. We cannot come multiple weekends for this event. It Has always been together and been a great success.

We didn't participate in any activities of the balloon festival. Not gonna pay $5 to not see the balloons that don't launch, so what do you do for entertainment? Entertainment needs to be more thought out. Quit hiring the same bands year after year. There are so many bands out there to be seen. And with nothing in the downtown area it sure was a waste. PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER.

The split is inconvenient I can't take 3 weekends to attend events. Spoke with vendors while shopping that they won't return to the event they had a both at because they did not sell.1 item.

We were flea market vendors for years and miss this show. I knew splitting the show into pieces would not be beneficial for everyone. It's time for someone to swallow their pride, admit it was a mistake.
