Default Too many people, too little space

I'm sorry this wonderful event wasn't organized more carefully. Let's face it, it's an every man for himself world out there and if you don't fall into that category then you may lose. Perhaps the organizers could have had the horses parade all around Brownwood on all of the main streets and had people line up around the whole complex. That would spread the crowd out, thus giving everyone a chance to view the horses.....kinda like a parade route. I wasn't there but it looked as if the horses were brought to a pretty contained area. We don't go to many special events for this vary reason. We would have to get there way too early to get a seat/spot, people would no doubt step in front of us ( and I'm only 5' tall) making it impossible to see anything going on and a crowd that big in such a small space would make me claustrophobic. Folks, it's only going to get worse with the population growing. Make sure you love your home as you may be spending more time there than originally thought. It's getting just too congested for my liking but I love my house and where I live so I am a just fine hanging out here until the crowds dwindle. Enjoy!
