Sounds like you had an awsome trip to PKI! You had some great suggestions and i personally agree with you about SOB. But glad u had a great time and hope u continue to come to PKI!
Yeah the parade is a pretty fun little event everyday. I work vending in it every swing shift and am there selling balloons, bubble guns, or noisemakers. It has a great amount of energy surrounding it this year especially on weekends.
I worked all Fri, Sat, and Sun this weekend, and the park wasn't terribly crowded. Friday was very slow for the most part, saturday and sunday had a decent crowd but not as big as i expected because of the great weather.
