Amy makes a good point about accessibility, though.<br /><br />Otherwise, lots of questions about potential beer garden uses and focus.Jeff Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644227936579446535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-80893176565793143902009-10-13T11:38:51.744-04:002009-10-13T11:38:51.744-04:00You know my thoughts on this - biergarten > 10 ...You know my thoughts on this - biergarten > 10 parking spots. <br /><br />Once in a while, when the weather is real nasty and cold, someone might complain about having to walk...and 90% of those people will still come in for the pint.B.W.

Last year I attended Fringe Fest as a volunteer and wandered into the crowds for what I was told were the best Chicken and Dumpling’s. Besides the clowns I enjoyed festivities this year. The money Matt and I took was strictly for progressive pints and fried things. Most likely a common theme across the crowd. <br /><br />Do away with the parking lot….We have never parked there. I do think that maybe one or two handicap spots would be appreciated.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556545963595714777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-7196962953192659362009-10-13T10:31:59.668-04:002009-10-13T10:31:59.668-04:00How about a "just for fun" contest, idea...How about a "just for fun" contest, ideas for the parking lot?dan chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127325573237791273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-37460367762226571572009-10-13T10:31:10.035-04:002009-10-13T10:31:10.035-04:00I worked the DNA booth for four hours Saturday mor...I worked the DNA booth for four hours Saturday morning. Lots of lookers; not many buyers. That was the sentiment at many of the neighboring booths too. Sales seemed not to be what they had been in years past, even on the day when it was sunny and blue skied. <br /><br />Given the uncooperative weather AND the recession, if you broke even, I think that speaks pretty well for the event. Keep refining the formula. Neither the sky nor the economy can rain every year. <br /><br />BTW, I’ve never used the north parking lot. Not once. I’m sure that if you expand, your venue will be more than endless picnic tables under a tent (like say Joe’s Older Than Dirt). Whether you incorporate an outdoor water feature, a living wall, interesting LED lighting, or who knows what, I’m eager to enjoy the final product while dining al fresco next year.dan chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127325573237791273noreply@blogger.com
