If this is ever an issue at one of our gates please let us know at the Chamber Booth. We do also strongly encourage participants to shop at our local businesses during the fest. After a successful debut of the promotion last year, we have again brought back our "Spend $30" campaign - offering a free beverage to anyone who spends at least $30 at one of Andersonville's local, independent retail, wellness, or service businesses during Midsommarfest weekend (restaurants excluded). If you choose to shop locally during the festival, bring your receipt by our Chamber Booth and we'll be glad to give you a free beer (21 and up only) or soda.Colleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808921401998123847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-62689492219997309562013-06-07T13:20:50.648-07:002013-06-07T13:20:50.648-07:00Hi Eric - Thank you very much for your comments, w...Hi Eric - Thank you very much for your comments, we do appreciate the feedback. As always, our gate donations are suggested amounts ($5 Friday, $10 Saturday/Sunday). I would encourage participants to give what they can or what they feel comfortable giving if the suggested amount is not feasible. We train all of our gate volunteers to understand that giving is optional and that donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. If for any reason you feel this is not the case at one of our gates, please let us know at the Chamber Booth. The most important thing to us is that patrons of the festival enjoy the time they spend at Midsommarfest and feel like the work we are doing brings value to a community that we love.

It is a big jump in price. While it is nice to see the neighborhood grow, I visit less often because more and more of the stores and restaurants are too expensive. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226104748480498354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-18508812310629289522013-06-07T11:02:08.643-07:002013-06-07T11:02:08.643-07:00Just want to share that Baraka Ethnic Jewelry &...Just want to share that Baraka Ethnic Jewelry & Handicrafts booth will be there. inchitownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077656098878825664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-39444504738877191962013-06-07T08:44:52.326-07:002013-06-07T08:44:52.326-07:00Also, $10 IS pretty steep for some of us.

I think I've paid a cover charge maybe a couple of times in 4 years, never go to ball games, and would rather spend the $10 in one of the local businesses!<br /><br />I think the "suggested" part should be emphasized. I had friends who were given a very hard time, even though they just needed to get across the street, to buy something at one of the businesses represented here.<br /><br />Thanks!Susan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17644271551799374608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-82583246138391919142013-06-07T08:39:10.153-07:002013-06-07T08:39:10.153-07:00Looks like there is one, Saturday.Looks like there is one, Saturday.Susan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17644271551799374608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-60458588393015553942013-06-07T07:33:23.176-07:002013-06-07T07:33:23.176-07:00No Pet Parade?

There are certainly high-end stores, but there are also plenty of places to shop and eat for us plain old folks. Also, why is it that nobody blinks at cover charges for crappy bars, or ridiculous ticket prices for boring overrrated baseball, but they can't spare ten measly bucks to supposrt local business? I'll be there, Midsommarfest!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02031088973944663332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179066763320064901.post-46611517017185962452013-06-04T09:06:44.622-07:002013-06-04T09:06:44.622-07:00We hope that Midsommarfest attendees will see our ...We hope that Midsommarfest attendees will see our $10 suggested donation as a chance to make a small investment in a great community.
