I went in August, 2002 with my kids, 3 and 5 at the time. They had a great time.
My daughter got up to try some the line dance instruction, my son got plenty of time with all the characters, the country band was good (and I'm not a fan of country).
The food was great, the dessert was some pretty nice cake, and the picnic tables gave it a real homey feel.
The only "negative" was using the locker room from River Country as the restrooms, it was kind of depressing to remember it from years ago.
