Greetings on this 54 degree sunny day!
Re: crowded garden expo
Last weekend I went to Monona Terrace for the annual 2 day Orchid event.
It was very crowded.
Hard to view the judged orchid displays, and sale area.
It costs $10 per person to enter and $5 to park.
So we had $25 into going.
It was difficult to choose an orchid to buy with others swarming the sale area.
Might skip the whole thing next year.
Olbrich says on their website, that their month long Orchid event, now requires pre-registering for a time slot to get in to see the dome with all the orchids placed in it. Now I’m not going to that this year. Too much trouble. Went the previous 2 years.

Mom volunteers for EVERYTHING at Olbrich - so she can see stuff for free, LOL! She also runs her model trains there at Christmastime, which is quite magical.
But, yeah. I have NO patience for crowds anymore. Not sure when I turned into a Little Old Lady, but it has happened. ;)
