I loved that there were all different types of businesses there, because I went with my boyfriend and we were both entertained by all the garden and home building companies, I loved the clothing and jewelry (I got a great bamboo shirt) and he liked watching the cooking demonstrations. It was a great experience and it was FREE!! while a lot of the shows popping up charge up to 15 or 20 bucks!
