June 22, 2026No Happy
We requested the Stilt Walker, but got railroad into replacing Silt Walker with dancers, that came late. Don’t get me wrong, in the past it has been great, but very dissatisfied with what happened this year. And asking for additional cost. Silt Walker was $330, that price should be acceptable for what we receive late on Saturday.
