Old Fiddler's Picnic in Coatesville on Saturday

[richlevy]

I'm planning on taking the family to the Old Fiddler's Picnic in Coatesville this Saturday. I figure at $5 a carload it sounds like a good deal. I've never been to this event before.

Is anyone going? Has anyone been to one of these and can you tell me what it's like and what to bring.

I already see that they recommend you bring your own chairs. I'm figuring on taking a cooler with some water bottles. We'll probably hit the food vendors for lunch.

Maybe I'll see some other Cellarites there.
