My first year here - was not impressed. Arrived via golf cart approx 1015 AM. A complete zoo. No parking on southside of square. Got one of a few golf cart spots left on north end of square. Felt like a cheap county fair, with lots of tacky vendors selling stuff I have no interest in. One street you could barely walk, and I had to exit in between two street vendors to get out of the crowd. Super long lines for what looked like average strawberry shortcake, that I can make better at home. Music act playing was mediocre. Left around 11am, taking the golf cart overpass. In opposite direction, golf carts were at a complete stop almost all the way from Richmond to Brownwood. I won’t be back next year, huge disappointment.
