Koenig Park (Private Park) — Attraction in Castroville

I was truly disappointed in what I observed. This is an annual event and the organizers should be more welcoming and provide a place for everyone that wants to attend instead of allowing rude people working the event control the event and running people off. We left after 15 minutes and were not able to find...
