Zorinsky Lake Park — Attraction in Omaha

I was not happy when I showed up to decorate the area for our appointed time. When I got there there was another group set up with food and decorations set up. When I confronted them they acknowledged that they were wrong and misread the time. The then asked me if I would move since they were already set up. I said no, that my daughter and son in law has paid for this area and they wanted it as agreed. So they packed up their stuff, which took about an hour and I helped move the items.
