"But those of us 'free' attendees have the right to complain too, if not only because so many of the problems were avoidable. They told the food vendors to prepare too few of their dish, so most ran out well before the day was over," wrote Dudley Escobar.

"As an ExtraMooga sucker who went on Saturday with my wife, I can tell you that although some things were pleasant, there were too many problems to justify what they charged. 'All inclusive' only included the penned-in ExtraMooga area with two-bite samples of food that ran out half way through the day. (They resorted to giving out snack bags of potato chips!)," wrote Patch poster Steve LeVine.
