You must be so proud of your family!

Parade Was Awesome!
April 30, 2013 9:35 am

We had an incredible time at the parade.
My little ones enjoyed Uncle Moishe and for the big one there were Benny & YBC.

To top it off we went to the rides where my kids had a blaast!
We went earlier in the day and the lines were not long at all.
Thank you Hecht Family.

RIDES WERE GREAT!!!!!!!
April 30, 2013 9:32 am

We came @ 1:00 and my children got to go on 5 rides within a half hr. They had a blast! My son said it was the best day ever!

Thank you Rabbi Shimon and NCFJE!!!
The Hecht’s really out do themselves every year!

should have real rides that take a couple of kids at atime that should be for next year so kids dont fall asleep waiting to get on a ride just have 3-4 blowups and rest motor rides like years ago on empire those were great not soo much waiting otherwise wristbands were a great idea a big yasher koach for all who planned this amazing parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wristbands
April 29, 2013 10:06 pm

Lines for the rides were incredibly long and lots of waiting but I’m happy I purchased the wristbands. Not having to think about the $$$ made it all worth it and my children had a great time. In all my girls had face painting, went on 5 rides and went to the balloon show. Not too bad for $10 in all. Thank you to all those behind the scenes and for organizing all this.

lines were long last year AND this year
April 29, 2013 10:05 pm

rides are very expensive to rent it is true the lines were long. but so were they long last time bracelet was a great idea the idea of having more rides where lots of kids go on at once is an excellent idea-they used to have that by the good ole Sukkos Experience on Empire Also, parents: 1-Do not allow your kids to cut the line, AND 2-Please do not wait on line with only one or two kids and then a while later a bunch more kids join you:The line just gets longer and longer each time this is… Read more »

Face Painting

Chaya Mushka Pekar did an AMAZING job on my daughter’s face. It was hard to part with it at bathtime because it was so beautiful.

Great Fair!
April 29, 2013 8:44 pm

I wasnt ast a Lag B’omer Parade and Fair for many many years and I was blown away by the whole thing from A to Z. The Parade and the fair were events that left me and my family on a high! Seeing so many people smiling and spending the day together as family and community was very uplifting! Well organized and if the crowd was bigger than last year, we now know to get even more rides for next year! Yaasher Koach to all the organizers!

My kids came home crying
April 29, 2013 8:41 pm

They were there from 1:30 to 4:45 and went on three rides. They DID NOT have fun this year. That is what people are trying to say. Parade was beautiful, but I don’t think that they expected this kind of crowd for the fair. Please be more prepared for next time.

great fair!
April 29, 2013 8:39 pm

The wristbands were genius! My kids were able to go on 5 rides, watch two shows, get their face painted, petting zoo and play many games! Cant ask for better than that for 10 bucks!!! Thanks to all the organizers this year!

Best day!
April 29, 2013 8:29 pm

Thank you for a fabulous day through and through!

loved it
April 29, 2013 8:10 pm

Great great fair! !!! My kids went on 10 Plus rides! And the shows were great!!!

My kids don’t want to take off their wrist bands, soo cute!

Bracelet
April 29, 2013 8:08 pm

I went to the fair right after the parade and we waited under ten min per ride. Bracelet was def worth it…. Later in the day, the lines became more intense,,,

Facepainting!

Does not matter how many rides your kids went on.
Did they have fun?
that’s what matters.

nuh uh
April 29, 2013 6:14 pm

#18 we are not complaining were just saying that our kids did NOT have fun because of the long lines so we were giving suggestions! z dont say things u dont know

you guys are such babies!
April 29, 2013 5:15 pm

as long as you or your kids had fun, that was the main thing!
stop complaining.

#15 i agree
April 29, 2013 4:29 pm

go mendel eisenbach
April 29, 2013 4:17 pm

cutest kid eva!!!

meachanical rides
April 29, 2013 3:43 pm

blow up rides take one or two at a time and many struggle to climb making even a short line take forever plus shoes on and off each time…and when you wait 45 minutes the excitment lasts for 30 seconds, mechanical rides take 20 at a time and the ride is 2-3 minutes long

agree
April 29, 2013 1:51 pm

more rides u cant wait online 4ever .want to be a part of a community so plz deliver u charged plenty!

#1 is right
April 29, 2013 1:32 pm

prade was amazing but rides were too much of waiting

Suggestion
April 29, 2013 1:16 pm

I suggest more rides and 2 of each blow up kind so kids are waiting on 2 different lines. Anyway all the attractions being blow ups was boring for the kids. what happened to the mechanical rides from years before?

I agree
April 29, 2013 11:51 am

The wait times were insane. We also only got on 2 rides, so we paid $5 per ride!!

Also agree with #1
April 29, 2013 11:41 am

I’m sure the organizers of the parade had good intentions, but in the end, parents paid more money for less.

dont be chepe on your kids

Agree with #1
April 29, 2013 11:16 am

My kids got to go on just two rides so I paid 5.00 a ride.

Sorry
April 29, 2013 10:33 am

The parade was amazing, but those $10.00 wristbands for unlimited rides were a complete waste of money. The average line for a ride was 45 minutes, so my kids only got to go on 2-3 rides each. That makes it around $3.50 per ride! Much more than what I paid last year for a single ride.
