To the Editor:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those people responsible for making our fall festival a great success. We had expected some 3,500 people in attendance and we had approximately 7,000.

That involved nearly 2,500 vehicles over the course of the event, which led to traffic issues throughout the area. Although we had made provisions for offsite parking, the extent of this increased attendance simply overwhelmed the resources we had available.
