This year's Donut Shootout was a total let down. :-( I did like the donuts and we go to try some new bakeries, but they changed some policies this year and we left very disappointed.
The official time on the tickets was 10-2pm on a Sunday and we got to the area around 11. This year you could only start at a certain bar so we got turned away from the first bar we stopped at. Waited in line at the main bar to get our wrist bands and then went to the third bar. Had some donuts and then moved on to the first bar. They just got a second delivery of LaMar's that were nice and fresh. Onto the 3rd bar. It was approximately 12 at this point and the third bar had already run out of donuts and put cleaned up the area where they were giving out donuts. Two hours before the event was supposed to end! I was not pleased and I don't think I was the only one from the response I got at the main bar when I went to complain and was immediately told who to email for a refund.
Then we went to walk around the area because it is such a cute area. But since it was a Sunday this year, none of the stores were open! So they couldn't share in the increased business with the increase in foot traffic! Next year we'll just use your $17 to buy a dozen fancy donuts somewhere else!
