Gardens Aglow - NOT! This is a rant...

Well....we tried to get into the Botanical Gardens to view and photograph "Gardens Aglow", but we goofed and went this evening. Everybody in the MidCoast area must have been in line to enter the Gardens as well. We had to drive past the entrance, turn around, and then were flagged in. Our friends were a few cars behind us, and knew the flagger woman who told them that it was a 1-2 hour wait for a parking space. Needless to say, we turned around as soon as we could and headed for home. This was a 2.5 hour driving bust for us. I have a few choice words to say to the Botanical Gardens, and they are, "How about selling tickets to the event so that people can actually get in to see it!" They really need to manage their big events better. Maybe sell tickets ahead, for a 1 hour time frame, to see the garden lights? The management needs to talk to other gardens to see how they manage events. Gardens Aglow runs through Dec. 31st. Are we going to try again? Nope.
