Today I went to the indian festival in Westampton, it was the first time I have been there in about 15 years. Needless to say, it has changed significantly. Alot of the merchants little buildings were empty. Most everything looked cheap compared to what I remember. Most jewery was imported and did not look genuine. The paintings looked like they were done by grade schoolers. No beautiful sculpters like I remembered. It has turned into nothing more then a flea market. Sorry if this offend anyone, but if you have freguent there years ago, and go now...it is a sorry difference. A whole lot has changed and I won't be going back. Similiar to the Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. Alot there has changed too over the years. Both festivals have lost their true meaning and have become commercialized. I am just sharing my personal opinion here, please don't take offense.
Hopefully, Batsto Country Fair will be as rewarding this year as it was last year.

For me the Jamboree at Wells Mill has stayed true to its roots, best I've seen so far. Even with all the folks that attend, it still has that small time feel to it. The Chatsworth affair has become nothing more than a large flea market inmy view, a true shame as the cause is a good one.
