Yes, I attended too - agree on the food - and lack - duplication and poor set up of tables. Cramped and crowded around the outside and no one inside - looked like pretty good attendance 1200 or so I heard. Also - the total lack of garbage cans made the place a city dump after only an hour on the floor - the health department would have loved that. The wineries did give generous pours and that made it a great time. It’s a good cause though so who should really complain. I would like to know exactly how much each charity got - it seems like they should at least tell us how much we were able to raise for PDX. Anyone got the numbers? Please tell us so we can gloat!
