I went to this market in August with my husband and special needs adult daughter. There was something for everyone including music, food, entertainment, and products for almost every interest. Being originally from NYC and Long Island I’ve had my share of street fairs. But this one was not overwhelmingly crowded and without access between aisles, like many of them are...also the shops remain open and accessible for browsing and that made it even more enjoyable. It was like a festival more than a fair..and my only regret is that I couldn’t get back one more time before the season ended...I’ll be back next spring!

We got together on Friday evening 6/15/18 for Father's Day with my son's family. We went to the Tri City Valley Cats game at Joe Bruno Stadium. We had easily purchased tickets online. Sell out crowd & HVCC construction disrupted parking but only slightly. Local band was playing before hand at the entrance. Good seating. All seating has good sight lines. Seating capacity 4,500. This team was the NY-Penn League champions in 2018. This is a short season A league affiliate for MLB's Houston Astros. Every home game has a promotion, field activities for children, contests between innings, and assorted other kid-friendly activities and the team's mascot, a cat named Southpaw. Food and drink are very reasonable ex hot dog & beer $7.00. There are better than average choices ex sausage & pepper sandwiches and a selection of local craft beers.There is also a covered picnic area that can be reserved for catered corporate events on the first base side outfield. The best deal for weekday evening games is the Family Four Pack. Four admissions, four programs, four hot dogs, & four sodas only $40.00, cheaper than the movies. And post game fireworks. Clean, safe restrooms. Plenty of helpful staff. Good marketing locally. A recommended experience. And as the say at the stadium "Vamos Gatos".

Perfect place to bring the family, go out with friends, host an event. Clean and well light park with so many activities besides just baseball. There's not a bad seat in the house!
