As you said, $5 hot dogs and $4 popcorn can really hit families hard. Next weekend the track will have Dollar Days which will attract a gazillion people ($1 beer!) but with crowds like that, I don't think that it is exactly Family Fun. Too much chaos.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Lone Star had a couple of small bounce houses set up in the picnic area on Saturday. If they actually do that every weekend, I may actually consider bringing the kids more often.suebrouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266413999194928332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20800109.post-78470256790752228822007-04-23T13:25:00.000-05:002007-04-23T13:25:00.000-05:00I'm really impressed with what Lone Star did here....I'm really impressed with what Lone Star did here. 50 cent juice boxes and free sunscreen? That will keep families out there and make them want to come back again. If you wring them out for every last penny with $5 hot dogs and $4 sodas (Golden Gate Fields, anyone?) many wont come back. <BR/><BR/>One great thing about the racetrack (even before i got in for free) is that I can watch the races, lose $2 on every single race and still spend a lot less than going to a baseball or football game.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329697943812963362noreply@blogger.com
