NEWARK, CA.. Well people, we're just a week away from Newark Day's (Sep 20-21) and I still haven't found the 100,000 people that came up missing at last year's event. As we recall, they claimed that they get 130,000 for the event and things were pretty slow on Saturday and Sunday.
Here's what I wrote about last years event in STARVING VENDORS:
Did they have 150,000 people at the Newark Days Celebration in Newark, CA on September 22-23? That's what they claim. Actually, since there were probably around 30,000 people there, I am worried about the 120,000 people that are missing. No earthquakes.....couldn't have lost them there. Where's Waldo? Remember him? Maybe we can find him? No hurricanes....no tsunami's.....no sinkholes.. I GUESS JUST PLAIN OL' MISSING right off the face of the earth. They said that they get 150,000 for the event, but I couldn't find them? I looked under tries, in the porta-potties, behind buildings, all over the place.
So, this is now September 2008 and no sign of these people anywhere. Will they pop up there this year or are we going to be missing another 100K. It does look like we'll be getting much better weather this time around, BUT I NOT GOING TO BE THERE. We shall be at the Chabot College Flea Market on Saturday and if I can find some parking on Sunday, I might drop by and check the side streets to see where all the people are hiding. Last year, we were located in the parking lot and thought we had a good spot. Uh uh uh. People just entered from there and crossed over from the parking lot and continued over to the food and carnival area. If you have things that would interest the kid's, then I would highly recommend getting your space located near the rides and food. If you are elsewhere... el suckarooski. I have no plans on ever doing this event. Spaces are pretty good size, but don't you kind of wonder why?
Can you find them here?
