Let me start by saying I love Hodag. I understand the importance of rules and safety. I know the family works hard to put on a great festival.
If rules are in place they should apply to everyone, I'm speaking specifically of the cooler rule. On Thursday I was told my cooler was too large, I was further told I could take it in that night but would need to buy another cooler because it would not be allowed after that. It was a inch or two more than the new 16x16x16 rule. I did so only to see time and time again people allowed in with the exact cooler I was told no to. Oh and some even much larger. The part that even made me more baffled is the guy with a wagon with three coolers all smaller than the new rule but you ever see a wagon smaller than 16x16x16? Again I love Hodag and yes I am happy carry ins are allowed. I just feel I was I signaled out and I had to say something. I am a long time hodager that is left a little disappointed...........
