Our first time at the Festivals! My 4-year-old wouldn't stop talking about going & hasn't stopped talking about how much fun she had. Loved the booths, the food court, the music, the classic cars. The poultry show had the depressing feeling of a zoo, birds had dry water cups or cups filled with feces filled water. No water bottles available in one room to give them any, either. Was a little cautious about the kids water slide & bounce house in this time of covid as the water clearly wasn't being changed even though that wouldn't really help if a kid had it & was allowed in. Overall a fun time, but not sure how I feel afterward with Delta so prevalent in Mesa county.
