General Silver Dollar City Talk / Harvest Festival

Did anyone go this year and leave disappointed? We sure did this year. Never in my 36 years of attending the park have I walked out without a wonderful trip. This year my wife and I both were so disappointed in the lack of vendors and what we were told by employees and vendors about how the park management was treating everyone.
The harvest festival was always our favorite festival and as far as we’re concerned, they’ve ruined it with this pumpkin focus. I had deep respect for so many employees openly venting to me about their equal feelings of frustration and displeasure of the changes. I visited with a handful of vendors who told me that this year the park only gave them small windows of time to be allowed to setup. Some got 1 week, some got 3 weeks, some of the long standing vendors were not invited to come back at all.
We thought this trip was nothing more than another kids feast.
Sad, never did I think I’d ever leave that park displeased and today was complete disappointment. Even my wife said she doesn’t care if we ever return. Never thought I’d hear those words out of her mouth.
