Talking to him as well as many of the other vendors out there, they all said that with the cost, it is just too expensive to go out there. many who were there over thanksgiving said they would not be returning as all their profits went to pay for the vendor spots, passes, gas etc.. with the lack of people and the high cost we can see why, and the vendors prices were all very inexpensive, we were expecting to pay double for the comfort of having them there, but we will say, the hour drive each way to the doghouse was well worth the trip, if we have a problem out there in the future we will for sure make that drive again!
