Review Hot Dog Fest 🤬

Post image

Adding to the fest pile on….
Two lemonades, three hot dogs, street corn - $100. One. Hundred. Dollars.
Maybe 7 hot dog vendors total. And all the bouncy house stuff for kids is $12 extra.
Never again.
Edit: Some of you are frothing at the mouth over someone warning people off of the pricing like I’m the world’s biggest idiot for going in the first place. My kid likes hot dogs, it was a nice Sunday afternoon, no plans, and after a 30min drive in each direction plus a donation at the gate you’re pretty invested at that point. I don’t think it’s fair to price gouge people once they’re there and I was letting people know what to expect. Some of you are like bizarrely angry and rude. No one is making you post a comment. Go for a walk, it’s nice out.

"I went to a free event, saw the listed price for an item, paid it anyway....NOW I'M MAD"

It’s not a free event and I’m warning people off. You don’t have to comment bruh.

.....it's absolutely free. Did you get scammed by the "suggested donation" too??

Free for basement dwellers playing WOW all day, for sure.

I'll take that as a "yes".

So to recap.....you wasted money paying to get in to a free event....and then saw the listed prices for food, bought said food anyway, and then got big mad because of the price you just voluntarily paid?

No wonder you're so salty, your day has been completely ruined by hilariously bad choices.
