I took the bus from a remote lot with the free shuttle, but the bus driver wasn't sure where to tell us to pick up the bus later, as the signs were not out. Now I have taken this same shuttle over the years, but have never seen such confusion where to make the return trip. No one, including the volunteers, the brochure, a police officer, security, or two other bus drivers knew exactly where I should pick up the bus for my return trip. My folks would never had made it with all of that walking, looking for the stop. After entering and getting my two children over to the unlimited rides from 12 to 3pm, the power went out after they strapped in on their first ride. An hour went by before they were actually on another ride, but the time was not extended for the time lost. The ribs were outrageously priced this year. The lines were shorter because the booth I entertained had 15 people taking orders (15 lines at one booth). It took about an hour to get my ribs. No shade, country music all afternoon, and overpricing will keep me away. <br />On a separate note, my sister, her husband, and my parents volunteered at a beer tent on Sunday.<br /> They were bossed around, ran out of some beers and were screamed at over the crowd for the 4 1/2 hours they were there. When my 75 year old dad sat down for a minute, the bossy guy told him to get up. They were not offered any rib tickets, or drink tickets for their time, different from past ribfest volunteerism. Their tent boss had them clean up, which they never did before, (and didn't mind helping, but again the boss guy was dictating).<br />They sold over 30 kegs of beer in four hours and not even a thank you for their time. Sorry Naperville. I'll spend my time and less money somewhere, anywhere else.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405421.post-5254806807763777952012-07-01T19:19:08.539-05:002012-07-01T19:19:08.539-05:00I TOTALLY agree,,, Me and my son was thinking abou...I TOTALLY agree,,, Me and my son was thinking about going on Sunday..But all we wanted was to get ribs..Im sure the Ribs are good,But after Gas ,parking and entry..approx $75-100 Total ..I think I was pass...Think about it Naperville !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465391735460805468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405421.post-54785281487804958762012-07-01T18:55:26.304-05:002012-07-01T18:55:26.304-05:00I TOTALLY agree...
