Redball Had the same problem last year
and the year before if I remember correctly.
Those of you might remember this was the Tobyhanna show that was one day.
The powers to be at Redball seem to want to
make this a two day show that is not going to happen. Maybe next year they
will wise up and make it a single day show. There Sept show is awesome with
no complaints
here.
