Dear Festival Committee,
I am writing about the Milford Nature Festival which took place last week.
I went to the festival with my two children, four and six. The information on the festival website said, ‘There
is entertainment for all the family.’
My children love face painting. Amy wanted to be a tiger and Jenny wanted to be a monkey. They had pictures
of the animals to show to the face painter. But there was only one face painter, and there was no other
entertainment for young children. We waited for an hour and then left the line. We went to get something to
eat.
My children said their food was good, but the meals were very expensive. They cost more than their tickets
for the festival.
Finally, the festival website said, ‘There is a nature walk at 3.00, with information about all the flowers and
trees from a plant scientist.’ There was nothing else for the children to do, so we went on the walk. But the
person who did the walk did not know anything about the flowers and trees in the park.
I paid $6 for two child tickets. I would like you to give me the money back.
With best wishes,
Mrs. Williams
