I would suggest the security or the others who are volunteering there should check mainly elder people's mobility scooters as there was a woman who had a dog on site and was laughing and bragging about having her dog onsite to a stall holder when this isn't allowed as stated on your site. Please be aware of this in the future. Other than that it was...
