I have the report from my parents that attendance was way down at Greek Fest last night, with more Wauwatosa and Milwaukee police than people in the crowd. The rides were shut down around 7:00-7:30ish and there was even parking available on the church grounds when my parents arrived at 5:00pm. The festival is held at the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church on Milwaukee's Northwest side.
Given the troubles last year as well as the troubles over at St Peter Immanuel's church festival, it's not surprising attendance is slightly down. Unfortunately, it may also have a spill-over effect: St Bernadette's parish festival's attendance was down as well, though poor weather certainly was a major factor.
I will follow-up with a report later today.
