I want to go Saturday but may go on Sunday instead. I would need 6 tickets for all of us to go so I guess if I win I will be looking into 2 extra tickets. 🙂
forgot to add – I would visit Spring Creek BBQ. Love their food!
I would want to attend on either Saturday or Sunday, because I know my hubby has to work late on Friday. I’ve never been to this event and I think it would be a ton of fun!
Fav food vendor- Snuffers! Love that place!!
I have never been to this, but I am hoping to go Saturday when my mom comes into town. I’m sure my daughter would love the carnival, and I would like to try Raising Cane’s!
What an awesome giveaway! We are kid free on Saturday and Sunday. A night out with other adults would rock, lol I would need to make friends fast!

I would probably go Saturday and I haven’t heard of some of the restaurants, but they sure sound fun…especially the mucky duck. Of course the children’s activities are a must to go check out.
We’ve always wanted to try Taste of Addison!!! We want to go on Saturday and love Blue Goose!!
Saturday — but 3 of 4 of us could go or Sunday for all 4 of us.
And I am looking forward to Best Thai — but I wouldn’t mind trying JC’s burgers or Saffron House or Tiff’s Treats for a sweet! Oh, I’m getting hungry. And none of those items (parts maybe) are paleo!
Our family would go Sunday afternoon, I would head straight for the Blue Mesa Grill (along with all the other amazing vendors!!!) and then on to the carnival/midway for the kids!!!
We would absolutely go on Saturday. It looks like a great event for the family, but I’m not going to lie, I would not miss the Blazin’ Challenge. It will be awesome.
I’d go tomorrow night or Sunday! And Raising Cane’s – yum!!
