We went on Monday, December 30th. The budget was for 7,500 people but 13,172 showed up. From what I experienced, I can see how the budget affected food.
1. All Cinnamon Bread at the Mill was sold out by 6:00. They were making more as fast as they could and there was a line waiting.
2. When we got to the apple butter shop at 6:30, No apple turnovers were available there nor were they available at Eva and Delilah's.
3. The staff at Percey's was being very cautious and trying to stretch the cooked items as far as possible. I got a chicken bowl and the portions of rice, beans and chicken were so small they barely covered the bottom of the bowl. They filled the rest of my bowl with lettuce, cheese, etc. - so I guess you could say I had more of a salad than a burrito bowl.
We had a very enjoyable time, despite the budget being off and some of the food items we wanted being gone. I guess that gives us something to look forward to in March.
