A Day at Knott's Berry Farm

I spent most of the day at Knott's Berry Farm just about 15 minutes east of my home. It is really a Christmas tradition for me: going to Knott's Annual Christmas Craft Faire. After spending $8 and walking around Ghost Town, I was somewhat disappointed with this year's faire. Maybe I have nostalgic memories about it but it just didn't seem as fun to me this year for some reason. I hate to say it, and even though I love the Knott's Fried Chicken (which I brought home for a late lunch), and I love the history behind this first theme park in Southern California, I'm afraid the craft faire wasn't worth the $8 admission. It was cool that the faire was in Ghost Town and it was a blast to walk around an wild west town with gunslingers, an old steam train, and wild west scenery. It's just that the craft faire had about half of the booths that it used to and I think I had more fun in the Knott's Marketplace which is free and you can park there for 3 hours for free. Next Christmas I'll have to revise my Christmas tradition to just include the Marketplace and the Chicken Dinner to Go. Having said all of that, was a fun and nostalgic day.
