"We absolutely go every year! There are several lots to park in. Best to get there early am to get parking closer to town. There are usually shuttle busses to the out of the way lots. In some lots you may pay $5 or $6 bucks to park. The shuttle parking is free at least it was free..things could change. Look for signs. We usually try to park in the lot near McDonalds and walk from there. Wear very comfortable shoes and layers.. sometimes its really warm other times its quite cool! There is a church there that has a nice hot lunch if its a cold day.. lots of homemade soups etc very reasonable cafeteria type seating."
"Stopped Sunday for lunch. (BLT and hot dogs). Great service and very clean. Nice place to sit down and take a break of bargain hunting. Would stop again. It would be nice if they serviced breakfast other then this week-end."
