$10 to get in the gate is ridiculous; not sure what the motivation is but pretty sure you’re losing a lot of customers; family of four costs $40 with no parking. Before it was $25 with parking.
Hey Kingfish, A female friend of mine cooked up a couple of recipes that you have posted in the past, and all I could say was, " Hot Diggity Damn." It was the best food that I have ever tasted. The only problem that I had was that it was so delicious, that I could not chew the food fast enough so that I could shovel the next bite in.
When you have time Sir, how about your recipe for some Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. You know, the flaky kind that Grandma used to make.
Thank You Sir.

That’s the point
$10 entrance fee is a smart & simple way to weed out the ones you don’t want there in the first place.

Good luck!
There was free admission for the late Mudbugs Festival. You see how that turned out? Not happening again.

Where does the gate revenue end up?
Went last night. It was the cleanest I can remember, and a really positive crowd - everyone was friendly and glad to be there. Do have to say, ticket amounts per ride definitely went up, we were lucky it was a wristband night. I know it's a tired joke how much money you can go through at the fair, but kids were having a blast
Went for lunch this week, first time attending in twenty years. It was very clean and the workers were so nice, tons of police and generally well behaved folks.
