I just wanted to say "hi" to all of the SDC fans out there. I stumbled across these forums today. I have fond memories of SDC as a kid. I have taken my kids twice over the past couple of years. We live in NW Oklahoma. I have already booked trips for May and November this year. We will be visiting SDC on both visits. Any advice or tips for getting the best bang for your buck, avoiding crowds, enjoying festivals, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
