Bill, I think you meant "inspected"...but Clearly you haven't taken the time to enjoy the festival...instead of wasting time leave comments...why don't you get out of the house and try it before you judge. It is sad to see people finding negativity in a cultural event. Especially since Augusta doesn't have things like that going on.

They do not have to meet any kind of standard or rules. They are not insected by anyone. Good luck with that.
