My judgement that it was not crowded was based on the fact that I did not have 
to fight my way through huge numbers of people to get anywhere, like my last few 
visits to the MD Festival. We were able to find seating at each of the 
performances, including the joust. The only time I had to check my normal long 
stride was trying to exit the jousting field. Maybe I was just lucky, but it 
seemed like there were fewer people where I was headed.

Oops, forgot the charge for parking, since I wasn't driving. Made me a little 
miffed.

My size estimate could be wrong, but it also was based on the fact that I had 
seen every merchant and was looping back for a second look after about 2 hours. 
At the MD fair, it usually takes me much longer to see everything once. I also 
judged its size by how tired my feet were from walking, and they were not tired 
in the least.

I agree, it should mature in a couple years, much like the MD Fesitval did.
