2 crawfish beignets and Mac n cheese w/crawfish was $15 for the combo. A lot of food. Beats a $12 corn dog.

Part of the problem is that it's those meth head carny food booths that travel from place to place serving generic trash.
Ideally, they would select carefully vetted restaurants, caterers, etc. like Lafayette's Festival International or French Quarter Fest does. But the Strawberry Festival is too big of an event in too small of a place.

Those are carnival vendors from out of state. They are not local. All the local non profit is inside gates around square

Fairs and festivals aren’t worth attending anymore. Used to be some decent stuff and good cost. Now it’s rows of the same stuff and prices I’d spend at the store.
This is the biggest complaint. I've gone to the same festival/event for the past six years now, excluding 2020, and I've watched it turn into 90% of the vendors selling the same things. It is called "Vintage Market Days" and has events all over, twice a year, in Spring and Fall (leading into the holidays). When it first started there was a wide variety of truly vintage and antique stuff mixed in with vintage "style" stuff, think Hobby Lobby import shite. It also had craft food vendors like high end cheese and value added products. Every event got a little less of legit old stuff and a little more of the import business. The import vendors started buying more floor space and piling more shite up. I talked to a husband and wife I know who are antique/vintage dealers who traveled with the event. They said that after Covid their booth space rental went up five times what it was earlier on. They couldn't afford to set up anymore, not every other weekend in a different town.
The organizers ran off unique vendors and now all it is is overpriced import Hobby Lobby shite, with nothing different ,twice a year. The turnout has noticeably started to suffer over the past two years, especially.

You can always pack a lunch. It would be a lot cheaper than feeding a family at those prices.

Strawberry Fest sounds so fun
Posted on 4/13/24 at 12:23 pm to Will Cover
Will be a bitch having to pack up all that food and taking it back home.

Maybe the vendor should find another source of income. Paying those prices for those items is insane.
so you dont want any vendors at the festival?
Posted on 4/13/24 at 12:35 pm to Will Cover
I'd expect corndogs to sell out in a few minutes in Ponchatoula.

At those prices there might as well be none anyway for me. Don’t care that I could afford it either, I wouldn’t spend the money.

What a fricking disgrace.

It's a festival, so ya.
There's been pictures posted of other vendors with cheaper prices and you didn't post those, why not?

No, dumbass, you’re at a fair, carnival, or festival. Prices seem right.

Price what the market will bear.

Prices seem right? Acceptance of anal rape by food vendors is not a good look.

It’s not the price of the market. They are over charging a convenient fee for Americans who like to eat. If 1 out of 10 people willing to pay $25 for a turkey leg, the market price of the turkey leg is not $25. You just have one sucker overpaying. If the price of gas is $3 a gallon and you find one guy willing to pay for $10, is that the market price? Is his stupidity a reflection of all buyers in that market?
