City library parkade was a zoo. Gridlock. No sign at the bottom or attendent telling drivers the lot was full. Try turning 100 cars around in the middle of the lane, never mind all those trying to get out of their spots.
Shame on the city for not anticipating this fisasco.

Having an event like this mid-week is going cause problems, unfortunately Snowbirds summer weekends are most likely booked a year or 2 (or more) in advanced. Last number of visits have been in work week.

It is awesome to hear such great things and that people enjoyed themselves.

My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?

Eh normaM
Boats were allowed, just had to stay out of a certain area marked with buoys, which did seem small this yr.
Two police boats at bridge directing traffic, which worked well. It was pretty busy, with everyone being really well behaved.
Im looking forward to the next one.

We clapped in appreciation several times towards the end at City Park.

Fantastic show as always. We were at Tugboat Bay this time and got some nice shots. The heart is my fave usually but the sun aligned with the edge of the heart this time, so I got half a heart.

Mr. QK had the better lens this time so his shots are hands down better than mine this time. :-)
