Can anyone give me details of this event? I know it's supposed to be this weekend but the website is horrible and no information is given other than it's free and the hours. I would like to know where it is exactly in Edmond, who will be playing, are there food vendors, what do they have for the kids as far as entertainment....you know general promotion information. Whoever is running this event needs some help.

ahhh....ok, the tourismok site that they direct you to for more information says it is THIS weekend!!
I guess that's why they don't have more information, but I would think the vendors and performers would be booked at this point. That's a lot of last minute contracts to write and review.
Thanks for the info!
