River Common — Attraction in Wilkes-Barre

I went to Rockin the River with Stevie Nick and Fleetwood Mac, it was a great atmosphere and the scenery could be unmatched with the sunset in the back, but it most all went downhill from there, from my friend being restricted from using a port-a-potty because it was only for police and security use when there were no signage on the stall, and then losing my cell phone, reported to 3 security members, neither one radioed anyone else, went down again to the spot we sat at, still nothing, and I placed a security alarm on the device and message to call...a guy came out of the trailer and stated would someone answer this phone?...I wont state what was being said from security (due to respect) but it wasn't nice and I just brushed it off
