I have read the other reviews and I believe the track owner has as well. It definitely felt like everything mentioned had been added, repaired or replaced. I particularly appreciated the food vendors with many choices for food and drink at a reasonable price no less. While yes this older small track could use some additional upgrades(new asphalt, markers for parking rows, repainting newly replaced bleacher boards). I personally noticed many improvements from the days of old. I believe they even offer a budget friendly $5 Friday once a month. Adults are $17 which is cheap for a regular race night. Hats off to the new owners(not sure how long that is).

Once you step past the carved timbered gate you are immediately transported into a garden oasis filled with stone statues, water features, greenhouse and passages to be explored. Following the pathways you are transported through time with years of a great historical collections of roses from lost and forgotten years expertly acquired by the founder and their generations lineage. With its 360* view of each and every collection found within its walls, there is a defining and identifiable plate with year and botanical information. The staff was eager to answer questions and offer assistance through the garden. Wheelchair access is available and a great majority of the garden is also accessible for adaptive devices. The best viewing time is late July so that you can full enjoy each bloom in their second blossoming. Photographs do not do this regal collection justice. This is a must see when visiting the seacoast.

You get 5 tickets with admission and can buy more tickets. Each sampling is one ticket. Good sized portions so you don't leave hungry, but don't get too full. There are beer distributors too like Goose Island and others to sample different products. They had Korean spice pulled pork sandwiches, Wagyu brisket tacos, chicken and waffles, and mac and cheese TOO DIE FOR! A couple other snacks and drinks. My favorite was the Sirachi chicken wings with ranch dressing and Belgium waffles! The waffles were perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside, but properly cooked on the inside. Tender, and no raw dough! Drizzled with maple syrup. The waffles themselves stood on their own with good flavor, but the sweet/hot connection was excellent! Music more appropriate for cocktail hour played while the food booths were open and people socialized. But at 8:30, the lights turned down and a full show of musicians entertained until closing. Parker Wheeler, known from his Sunday night residency at the Grog in Newburyport hosted A-list musicians. Toni Lynn Washington headlined with features of Ricky King Russell, Johnny Blue Horn, and New Orleans' own, Amadee Castenell. A must see and be seen at event for next year!
