4.5 / 5 Great…read moreevent!! Tony and the Fleet Feet crew really did a great event with this event from responding to emails right down to giving me an extra medal for Run buddy and my Running Club VIP tent access. + Nice swag bags with color specific tech shirts for Male / Female + Medals for all finishers + Awards + 2 Wine pours for each finisher + VIP tent with unlimited pours and extra snacks. + Punctual start + Pacers from the Tri Valley Running Club (another I am a member off and almost paced the the event myself) The run itself was a bit of an odd one for me.. the course was all road which I was totally unprepared for but made it great for a new PR. The first mile I had a few wardrobe malfunctions - My hydration vest was bouncing about so I had to re-adjust it and then my Pandora kept cutting out every 60 seconds so I spent a good 10-12 minutes playing with that trying to fix it. I swear the Runners behind me must have thought I was already on the Wine because I was I all over the place! Once adjusted thought and found my ''happy pace'' all was good and I spent about 6 miles right behind another members of Mountain House Running Club. The course marshals and volunteers at the Aid Station were great and full of energy encouraging us all as we paced though. I'm not sure if he was a volunteer but right around the 12:75 mile mark there was one guy who really encouraging me as I sped down the home straight.. not going to lie, I was really feeling the many miles of asphalt (trail runner here) and getting pretty tired so his enthusiastic cheers gave me that last little push I needed to get across that Finish Line. I really am not a road Runner but overall this event was great and I will likely do again.. The whole experience was made better by the fact that I was here with an awesome group of supportive people.

The Golden State Pinball Festival is the ultimate gaming time in the heart of Lodi, California…read more Collectors and local enthusiasts donate their pinball machines to be played on a "free play" mode for hundreds of eager players. A flat rate at the door gets you all day play or but a 3-day pass for the ultimate weekend of pinball. There is a silent auction and a raffle and a chance to win a pinball machine. This is a wonderful event that supports the World of Wonders (WOW) Science Museum in downtown Lodi.

This was my first year attending and I can't wait for next year! I was honestly blown away with the…read moreamount of pinball machines they had. With admission, you have free play on all machines that span the decades of pinball history. It was great fun and a great vibe. If you're hungry they have a food truck and beverages can be purchased for consumption outside of the pinball areas. Well worth the money AND all proceeds go charity. Volunteer run, please come and support!

Great times! Come out next season and let's get this flat track party started! Had a great time at…read morethe marathon today! The club members work hard to keep the track nice and the experience enjoyable! I look forward to the races and the camaraderie amongst riders and fans. Great family outing!

After a very long trip and temperatures in the 100s, I was very disappointed. The track prep and…read moreseating areas are fantastic. Concessions are very well priced and they also sell beer. So why the 2 star rating? I used to run a oval track in Ohio and I witnessed a lack of urgency in starting the event. They needed more corner workers. But it didn't matter as there was no more than 4 riders in the 10 heats that I watched. Many races had 2 people only. I left after 1 hour of this. I am sorry to say but I wish they could pull more riders and have on track staff ready to roll. The concessions, gate man, fans and announcer all receive a 5 star rating.

Buon Giorno fellow Italian foodies!…read more This was our first time attending and we both had a blast at the Lodi Festa Italiana! It is an annual one day event held on the grounds of the Grape Bowl and there was plenty of food and wine to sample and activities and entertainment to enjoy. Admission was $15 a person at the gate but I believe you could purchase tickets in advance for a special price. Parking was free. There were several food vendors, bands playing, and even an opera performance! In addition, there were cooking demos, bocce ball, a car show and a sauce contest where you could pay $5 to be a judge. In the main hall they had craft vendors and a very interesting history of local Italians who have contributed to the community. While attendance was great, the Grape Bowl grounds are spacious enough so you could walk around easily. I would definitely love to attend this event next year and I highly recommend it. Alla famiglia!

They had a lot more to offer from food vendors, regular misc vendors and activities for the kids. Plenty of parking (however pin your car and remember what lot you're in!) I didn't realize there were 2 entrances. We entered in the front, yet when we were leaving we walked out through the back and didn't recognize or notice until we got all the way out that our car was on the entirely opposite side. Luckily they allowed us to re-enter so we didn't have to walk around. It was definitely packed, parking can be paid with Apple Pay! Purchase tickets online a few days before the fair for the best deals! I can't wait for next year to come back and enjoy some sun, rides, and carnival foods.

I throughly was impressed by all the great food, entertainment, and rides and games here. But I…read moreended up having such a poor experience! There were too many people to enjoy anything there were no seating for me and my family when we wanted to watch the performance. The lines were very long for absolutely everything except the food and drinks which constantly made us give up and walk away. Everyone was scattered everywhere and it was hard for my family to stay together. I loved the idea and concept of the grape festival but honestly wish there was some sort of capacity limit. Also. My daughter was waiting in line for numerous rides and they were telling her she was either too short or too tall to rides and my niece is actually one inch taller than my daughter and was let on rides. Over all I just wish there was a capacity limit so we could've enjoyed the festival more throughly.
