For such a beautiful and creative atmosphere I have never, in my life, been treated so rudely and…read morefelt so humiliated! For years I looked forward to taking a class at this establishment and finally I decided to bring my whole staff there for a Christmas party. I had been planning the party for several weeks with the owners and had agreed on a Sunday night. The night of the party, my staff and I had been busy packing up gift bags and baskets for several of our own customers and delivery drivers. We got carried away with the fun and decided to open our gifts to each other as well when we realized we were running late. I called Half Moon creek to tell them we would possibly be a few minutes late to our 2 hour long class. After I sent my staff off I closed up my shop, got into my car and my phone rang. It was Half Moon Creek telling me they were canceling our party and that they were upset that we had wasted their time and had taken them away from their families on a Sunday (which was the day they had given us for the party) and basically what a burden we had been to them. After many, many apologies, they agreed to continue the party. My staff all arrived before me and as I walked in, I was not greeted or even looked at, yet the tension was so thick it made me nauseous. At that point I was asked to sign a waiver and that my two employees under the age of 18 needed parent consent, which was never once mentioned to me over the many conversations I had with them. Needless to say, we all left without a class. I will never return there. I will never bring friends or family there and I will never say a good word about the incredibly rude behavior they showed towards me and my entire staff.

I must write to contradict the review written by Jenn D.

These women are the kindest and most generous people I know. They love what they do and love teaching people everything they know; they delight in other people's creativity. They take their teaching seriously and require safety at every step. They teach lots of classes to grade school and high school students and have never had an accident with children. I encourage people not to be put off by the negativity and spitefulness in Jenn D's review. I am uplifted with each encounter with these women.

We came out here with a few friends for something to do on a Saturday in August. I think I hadn't…read morebeen here since I was a kid. Followed car directions and found it no problem. They have a dirt parking lot that was filling up fast. As we headed over I was noticing all the things they have to offer. They had mini golf course with the balls and putts out I think it was open? And free? Not sure. There were a board of rules to follow but I didn't notice it till we were checking out. It was a little confusing on where to start but we just walked in and went straight the the crops. They also had little trikes for kids to ride and a huge inflated strawberry jumping pad that kids were all over. We started from the back of the field at the bokchoy which we got a couple of. You should bring a knife to cut the vegetables. Don't know if they provide cutters if you don't bring your own. They had tons of plants growing. Several feet wide and who knows how long with rows of bokchoy, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and other things. We got bokchoy, one head of broccoli, and 4 pretty big Yukon gold potato's all for $5. We had carrots and other things growing in our garden at home so got minimal vegetables. Our friends got huge bags of carrots potatoes and other things. They paid around $30. Way cheaper than the store and guaranteed Alaskan Grown lol plus it's a great way to spend the day and experience something new. Not sure if this was the end or beginning or middle of the picking season but most crops were picked heavily on the beginning of the rows and you had to walk halfway down to find a plethora of picking options. Except for the carrots they had been picked over pretty well but still lots available. Most of them had several arms and people didn't want them. The potatoes were huge and had been tilled so you just pick them up off the ground, minimal digging required. The soil everywhere was very dry like they hadn't watered ever. Maybe they cut back when everything is pretty much grown. After you are done picking you stand in line to check out. We had to wait a little bit, like 15 minutes to check out because they were a lot of people there. They apologized for the wait time but it wasn't a big deal. They weigh everything then give you a price. I think they had price per pound posted somewhere but nothing was out in the open where you could see it easily. Overall I would definitely come back. We grow a lot of our own things in our backyard but lots of people don't have that option or don't want to. Fun place!

This was extremely helpful for individuals who needed some help. Several stages were spread out across the fairgrounds for various entertainment. A barbershop quartet performed and hubby judged them to be good. Fair food variety was the name of the game - hubby ate spinach bread, blueberry crisp with whipped cream on top. Several native dance/singing groups also performed. One beautiful dance re-enacted by the group was of the "Eagle". A horse exhibition was performed under a tent - hubby thought he almost was run down. That group was from Florida, a happy coincidence. A puppy show was also seen outdoors in the red section. Rescue dogs were trained to perform various tricks, amusing everyone who saw them. Be prepared to take things slowly at the Fair - it's very crowded and the fairgrounds are large and very spread out.
