Hello! This year was my first time to the festival, and I loved it! Some suggestions from a first timer that are not already mentioned are: 1. signs/boards posted in obvious locations that list the events available and where to find them. As a new-comer I found myself seeking volunteers to tell me where to go and for what. Also boards in the craft areas with the basic directions. The teachers were so busy {very helpful} that the wait time just to say "what do I need to do next?" or "how many stems of lavender do I need to pick?" was time consuming because you don't want to interrupt. And a sign that simply said what was needed to begin would have been super helpful. 2. more than one card reader would have been GREAT, I would have purchased more items ie. ice cream, but I was tired of walking back and forth trying to find the one guy with a reader that I just gave up on buying stuff {tho I bought a lot :-o} 3. postcards of the famous painting 4. a sign that clearly marked the festival. I forgot my directions and the address at home, got lost and spent 30+ minutes driving around trying to find it. Almost gave up hope when I found a flier on a gas station bulletin board. So yes, please mark the roads clearly for people like me who tend to forget things at home :) 4. lavender snowballs...just sayin ;)
Well, I hope some of these suggestions are helpful. I can't wait till next year! And I already have a slew of people that want to come as well! yay! Oh and I second the pony rides for the kids, my horse loving lil' lass would have loved that!
This was also my first time. I LOVED it and will certainly be back. I am in agreement with the other suggestions about a clearly marked signed letting us know you found the road, Also being able to purchase a Farm shirt would be great. The suggestion about basic instructions being posted is a good one Looking forward to next year/
I love the the lavender wreath idea! I would also like to see more parking and adding Friday to the festival. I think it would go over great. Over all though I LOVE IT, :)
I would like to be able to purchase a t shirt or hat with the farm name and logo..
